Strange Fiction

131 - "My Friend and I Found Ourselves on thispersondoesnotexist.com" by Tainted Dove
Kaela and Allen take a stab at a NoSleep-style story written in a 3-hour burst of creativity. The title is certainly evocative of NoSleep, but how does the story flow?
Story submitted by Tainted Dove.
130 - "Bobwire" by Urkelbot666
Allen’s enlightens David about the world of deathmatch wrestling, the device on which this story’s horror centers. They also talk about Mass Effect a lot, which has nothing to do with the story or wrestling. It wouldn’t be a UCA episode without some nonsensical tangents, after all.

We’re not strangers to fan fiction on this show, and luckily four of the five hosts - Kaela, Allen, Seid and Raevell - have some decent context to work with, while David is very much in the dark. Will this horror take on Madoka Magica leave the desired impression regardless of knowledge of the source material? And will Allen get the $5000 necessary to reveal his own Bionicle fiction at last?
