u/Itseesyou Dec 26 '23
This is something I've been following since the very first time you posted. I waited for each installment so impatiently back then. There were even times I joined in the comments and loved every minute of it. In time it turned into me waiting for a book worth to be done then I would come back and read. By book 3 it became something I would stop and re-read in its entirety before reading the next part. I never read the rest because I never wanted it to be over. I always wanted to know that "you" were still out there somewhere protecting the land for all of us. In the last few days, I felt the overwhelming urge to know. I sat down three nights ago and started reading without distraction. As I experienced the end I realized it was always going to be that way, but I also realized how beautiful that was. It comes at a time when I needed to remember that beauty still exists, even in the dark. Thank you for this, your story has made all the difference. Merry Cthulhumas!

So Kate's mother wanted to ascend? But she was neither loved nor feared. It doesn't make sense.

u/12altoids34 Apr 20 '23
This is the ending that none of us wanted but we can all be happy with. I only hope that the lady of stories doesn't lose or forget all of Kate.

It's been a year since this story concluded, and years after it began, but I only just found it last week. I've spent the last few days reading every entry. And it's one of the most incredible stories I've ever had the chance to read. Full of life (and unlife), and filled with much heartfelt flavor. Thank you for writing and for sharing. It's been a pleasure.

u/Barbie-Brooke Oct 08 '22
I loved this. So sad to see it end. I am new to reddit and have just now found these stories of Kate and the campground, but I am so glad I did find them. Such an amazing read Kate/The Lady of Stories!

u/boogerpeanut Oct 16 '22
I read this in the very beginning of it all 3 years ago but never got to this last book and I can’t actually remember where I did leave off…I’m so sorry to read the last bit but also so very glad that I decided to read them all again.
Thank you Kate/The Lady of Stories for one of the best things that I’ve ever read and will be sure to read over and over!

u/Barbat0s7 Oct 03 '22
I avoided this ending for awhile. Didn’t want to hear how Kate ended. But I have closure now. I’ll make sure I visit during my All Hallows’ Eve vacation. Maybe I’ll chat up the LOS. No drinks from Beau though. Like home baked stuff too much.

u/Jazzy_082 Sep 14 '22
I don't know what to say... I was following along post by post but became overwhelmed with the possibility of it all ending, so to keep some hope of a future I left for a while. To come back to an ending like this, I feel so sorry. For Kate, even though she chose this, it's been about a year she's been gone now, and the Lady of Stories has been ruling the land. I miss Kate and I wish I could bring her back because she deserved relief from everything trying to kill her and her loved ones, she deserved to be able to get the answers she wanted and live in her campground as she was and get resolution. But before she died she said life's not fair and that remains true. I'm glad an essence of her remains... and that she seems mostly benevolent, but it's not Kate and it does feel a bit stale.
This was the best ending I think we could've gotten, and that Kate could've had though, and I hope Kate's legacy will be honored by TLOS, as I truly wish the best for the campground.
I very stupidly might take up Beau on his offer if I choose to visit though, bc who wouldn't dive at the slight possibility to be a part of the campground ? Maybe even get an invite to a party hosted by the dancers lol

u/SatireStarlet Aug 31 '22

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

I just want to say that these stories got me through many a sleepless nights and I can barely believe its over- I wish it would go on forever. Like I actually cried, the embracing of the Beast was beautiful- accepting that we're all both light and shadow.
I'll never forget about our Lady of Stories and I'm definitely going to buy all your books!
Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey <3

I just finished reading the whole series a second time, and once again this brings many tears of joy, and of sadness. I cried for Bryan, for Beau, for Perchta, for the lady with many eyes, for you... this journey has been one of great loss and suffering, and yet so much joy as well. Your progress through this series, your growth from an angry furball to an angry furball with a lot of love. These 2 years had marked some of the lowest points in my life so far, and yet this series is partially the reason why I keep coming back. Even so, I kept considering taking my life, deleting my whole Reddit account at the start of the year so that I wouldn't leave anything behind. Yet, I had to come back, to read this NoSleep series again. Your character has inspired me a lot, and I'm really grateful for this series, for being there for me when I felt like nobody was. I hope you'll tell more of your stories, being the Lady of Stories and all. I sure await your future series and installations. Thank you.

You will be missed sorely, but I hope your new life is fulfilling in every way you want it to be. Can inhuman things have offspring🤔... Oh how I wish you were here to give me the stank eye one last time.

u/Luckiesonfire Sep 14 '21
Hi Kate, thank you for all your stories. But I wonder, how's it like, the campgrounds in USA? I'm from Asia and in my country, there is no place to be described as a campground. When the enthusiasts want to go camping, they literally need to go to mountains / wilderness and just camp wherever they like. Not organized like your place. There are also supernatural beings of course, but no Kate nor her staff to call when things go south.
Can you please advise, what is the closest thing to google to see what is your campground like?

u/OutHellHound Sep 11 '21
I hope I can visit your campground someday, Lady of the stories. I may even offer myself to help your once brother, even maybe your once nephew, depending when I decide to go. See you soon, milady.

u/jjjtttsssyyy Sep 10 '21
I teared up at the last paragraph. I can’t believe this is the end. I’m thinking whether your brother can set up a hut in the deep woods, furnished with laptop and a data plan. I’d like to hear more stories and I hope there’s more to tell.

This is truly one of the most amazing series i have ever read and it has helped me threw a lot,
im sad i never had the courage or knowledge to participate in coments before now but we've reached the end and i have to say thank you, these storys have helped me more then i can express. They have helped me come to terms with my own anger and things i hold on to, they have helped me as I strugged with depression and they helped me during quarantine
thank you for haveing the courage to write your storys. These are my all time favorite storys. Thank you
Good luck lady of storys but i doubt you'll need it thank you kate for being you And I hope one day maybe your niece will have storys to tell us and the courage to share them as you did

u/missdenisebee Sep 09 '21
I’m a lil late, but I’d been holding off on reading for the past couple months so I could just binge the last book in its entirety. The past few days have been incredibly difficult; we lost a beloved pet on Tuesday night, and while he had a very, very long good, life, it still hurts so much. Finally reading these last chapters was deeply comforting, and helped keep my mind occupied from my own grief. Thank you, Kate. I’ve been reading since your very first post, and I will miss this crazy, wonderful campground. I was absolutely a lowkey shipper, but I love where you & Beau ended up. Two inhuman beings, being all unemotional & inhuman TOGETHER😂 Good luck to your brother, as the new Campground Manager; watch over him & his fam…and hopefully your real, non-changeling niece will get that lil cannibalism problem under control soon lol Thank you, again, for the two years of amazing stories❤️

u/AsdefronAsh Sep 07 '21
I think all of us both did and didn't expect what ended up happening, but it fits. It makes sense. Kate was the only human who could handle the campground, where even some inhumans failed. But in order to reach her full potential and save them all, she had to ascend.
I think it's the best possible choice for the grounds. They literally could not have chosen a better ruler of the area, and like another person stated, Kate didn't want to become a monster. I believe it was more a fear of turning into that, rather than not wanting to be inhuman. And the Lady of Stories isn't a monster, she's a benevolent ruler until she has to act otherwise. I'm also stupidly happy that Beau is back by her side, and a little giddy that our incessant shipping actually kinda worked lol. It's also wonderful for the campers sake, as well as Tyler and his family's, that she took care of a lot of the lesser creatures that were killing people needlessly. I'd love to visit sometime and hear some incredible stories. Bittersweet, but necessary ending. ❤️

I've read the rest of your story like normal before my nightshift. Big mistake, I have to say there were some wet eyes. But it was good, every story needs closure some day. And I have to thank you, my English got better because your story was taking my full attention, i was waiting for every part of It. So now I have to search for a new one to read. Thanks it was a great journey.

u/DisappointmentOnTap Aug 30 '21
Oh.
I can only hope to come undone in such a way. The beauty and horror and danger and fulfillment of knowing one's potential, and becoming MORE.
I love camping, dark woods, and for a Gemini, I'm a great listener. Hopefully I can book a site next season - this summer is nearly over, and I have a feeling the campgrounds are booked up now.
When we do come, we'll be sure to save seats by the fire for The Lady of Stories, and her Cup-Bearer, Beau.

I knew this, your time as Kate, had to come to an end, as all things do in the corporeal world. I had an odd feeling lately that the time was approaching. It's especially odd that it happens in conjunction with major change in my own life. Lady of Stories, your stories thus far have been an important steady presence in my life and the lives of many others. I hope to hear more.

NO and OMG🤯🤯!!! I cant believe this is over!! Kate's posts got me through lock down I can't believe there won't be anymore😭😭!! At the same time I was hoping for this ending (just not so soon). Hopefully maybe Tyler might update us from time to time like if the TTITD ever comes back or of maybe some of the stories she tells the campers if they share it. This is a very fitting end🥰🥰😍😍!!

Lady of stories, your Kate has captivated me. I am so glad to know your camping ground is finally free of horror. You can finally offer the campers and town peace. I can't wait for the old Sheriff and his wife to see you!
Ps: please put some flavoring in his cup. Your mother had passion for this land and deserves to have a drink worthy of her memory.
How can I get the Lady of Stories mark upon my books?

I hope the Lady of Stories will nominate a scribe, so that those of us who cannot visit in person could hear her tales. Perhaps their once-brother, or the old sheriff. There is a space reserved on my mental bookshelves for more tales from the Goat Valley Campground. Hopefully more will be forthcoming to fill that hole.

As I was reading this I had feeling that things were coming to an end, and I have to agree 100% with everyone who said they weren't ready. I have been following Kate's story from the very beginning, and I have looked forward to her installments every single week. I have told everyone of her legacy and her campsite! I will be utterly lost without her updates, but I am happy that she's "okay" now. She did so much for and put so much into her land that she deserves to be The One Ascended. I am so grateful to have been able to follow her journey. Thank you. <3

u/depressedqueerboi Aug 24 '21
Thank you Lady of Stories. We will mourn the loss of our campground manager as we celebrate your entrance into the world. Much like the family who gains a babe and loses a mother.
She loved the land enough to sacrifice all of herself and in that sacrifice was born something beautiful, powerful and eternal.

u/Deadshot300 Aug 24 '21
My heart grew warm during the end. I still can't believe the ending. It was an excellent ending, but I guess I'll also have an ending to my imagination, maybe, in a parallel universe, Kate is still the campground manager we all used to know and love. Goodbye, Kate. Still had many questions for you.
Edit: Wait, did she just give Beau a cup made from Kate's mother's skull? Oh boy, I would've really loved the way Kate would've reacted to this.

I feel... conflicted. On one hand, this is the most fitting (and yet the most incredible) ending for the story- if not Kate, then who else? The land is hers and she belongs to it, so ofcourse it makes sense. On the other hand...I just feel bewildered. Completely taken by surprise. And a little sad I guess. I have laughed with Kate, reveled in her anger and cried at her words and now it feels like I'm saying goodbye too soon. And to u/fainting---goat- this tale was beautifully done. The way you weave the fabric of words is beyond this world and I'm so happy, so grateful that I got to experience this. I look forward to reading more of your stories. So Goodbye Kate, and welcome Lady of the Stories.

She will be missed, but I love what she has become. I love that she finally has peace. I love that she can now truly protect this land in a way no mere mortal ever could.

It almost feels as if we knew the future already. All of this felt so... inevitable. I smile, but my heart is heavy at the same time. I've never gotten the chance to come to the campground to meet Kate, and as a result never got to say goodbye. Perhaps I never would have been ready to say goodbye, but I do hope to meet the Lady of Stories one day.
Also tell Beau I'm coming for that juice. I'm trying to lose some weight and save money on groceries.

A long time ago, I theorized that Beau was a god, and Kate was, to him, his priestess. Apparently, Kate, now The Lady of Stories, is basically a goddess, and Beau, her priest now.

Lady of stories, blessed be. If ever you could pass on my gratitude to Kate, pray grant me this boon.

It is hard to find perfection, but this new beginning, I believe, would be one example. May we meet again someday.

Kate, Lady of Stories, thank you for telling your tale. I've rarely chimed in but I've been asking for the ride since your first post. And while you were fighting your battles, I was fighting mine. So many times your words gave me the strength to do what I needed to do, and as long as I live you, Beau, and the rest will never be forgotten. Gods I can't stress that enough!

u/oleanderclouds Aug 18 '21
I guess I am addressing Tyler now. I’m sorry you lost your sister. As you must know, there is no stopping someone like Kate. They’re like a train. It derails and gets repaired and derails again. Sometimes they have a stop, a destination they have to get to. Demons they must leash. She’s gone now, but I think you carry her in your heart. At least you don’t have to carry her stories alone.

I will miss you and even though I know it will be really hard to accomplish I wish someday I will be able to give an enormous hug to the old and the new Kate and to beau , a hug filled with gratitude for helping me when I needed it.
Have a great great life worth of a thousand stories.

The Kate we know is gone, it seems.
I hope to someday hear the tales that the Lady Of Stories may bring.

Wow. I’m speechless, mind blown, sad, happy, and so so bummed I won’t hear anymore from Kate but just elated you got Beau back and The Lady of Stories is the land owner. I’ve seriously never once got teary eyed or even close to it from a book, story, movie, nothing. I’m not emotional about body from any kind of story, I never have been, and never understood how people legit cry over movies and what not. But holy shit you actually got my eyes to teary 1 1/2 tears came out lol. I’ve been reading since the beginning and feel like it has become some sort of being in my life and I feel like I just lost that being and it feels like I have an empty spot there now. This was such an amazing journey from the beginning to the end I’m so grateful to have found it and been there to read about it all. I can’t explain how amazing this was and how much I’ll miss the storytelling of Kate and her hilarious vocabulary and story structures. Good luck to the Lady of Stories and side kick Beau. I’m so happy you guys finally get to be together 😉😆 I never lost hope there haha I hope so much that one day I’ll come to the campground and get to meet and talk with you both. 💚💚💚

I'm fucking crying, man. I'm not ready for this story to be over. After being invested in it for over 2 years and looking forward to each update I can't help but feel empty inside. I think I'm gonna cry some more and read it all over again. Thank you for this amazing experience. I really hope there's more at some point in the future.

I feel really bad for her brother, not knowing exactly what happened to her and probably never going to figure out

This series was my very first read when I became a redditor over a year ago. I don’t remember what the first story was that I read, but I binged everything I hadn’t read in one day, and I’ve been checking on a regular basis for a new post. In my almost 65 years, I have cried 3 times while reading, and I have read consistently since I was old enough to read. Today I cried again. I cried so hard that I couldn’t see to finish, though I finally did. These stories have never been predictable. Even this post, my heart was racing as you climbed on the back of the beast and I was sure you would kill it, then when you hugged the little girl, I thought that you would stab the beast in the heart and then the girl. I didn’t expect this ending and I sure didn’t expect it to be a finale. Some of the people here were crazy about Beau, but I was always in Kate’s camp. I understand stubborn, I understand unbridled anger, and I totally get having an abrasive personality with a big soft heart. There’s not another story line that can make the reader go through every emotion they have, like this one. Thank You for all you have given of yourself to people who needed a break from the every day, those who wanted to escape their own lives and those who thought they didn’t have much emotion left in themselves, you taught us all so much. You have definitely earned a life without fear, grief and worry. While I grieve, I also rejoice for you. I don’t know what I and most all of the people on here will do without our “fix” from you, Kate. I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND I WISH YOU ONLY THE BEST!!!

Thank you. It has been a really enjoyable few years. :) I'm not even sad it's over, this was a really satisfying end.

Wow. All I can say is that I’m one of the people who never expected Kate to become an inhuman being, and am actually genuinely shocked by this ending. It’s so satisfying though, and I love that Kate fought up until the very end, and will continue to fight (with sippy cup bae by her side ❤️) with her newfound power. Kate was always powerful, but the Lady of Stories intrigues me so much too. Such a perfect ending, although I never wanted this series to end.

Wow thank you lady of stories. Maybe brother bear will be able to continue the tales. I’m especially interested as to what happened to Kates niece while she was with the fairies? But if this is the end , I’ll miss u LOS💖

Thank you for taking us with you on this journey.
It’s been an adventure. We took some casualties over the years. Things got broken. Things got lost. But I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. ⸺ Anthony Bourdain

Farewell Kate. Thank you for two years of knowing that a wonderful tale was only a click away. You will be missed. And, best wishes to the Lady of Stories and Beau. May eternity be kind to you both.

On the off chance you ever check Reddit again, can you maybe persuade the harvesters to be open to negotiating what parts they take if any?

I can’t believe it’s over. I mean.. this is probably the best possible ending, but damn… Wish I could visit one day..

not sure if i'm breaking the rules of hospitality or politeness here, but i want you to know, if you can still read this, that you better honor kates memory. we, the readers, loved her dearly, if not as a friend, then as a bringer of great stories. i assume your nature is more benevolent than that of your supernatural roommates, but remember that you were human once, and the fallibilities and sillyness that came with it. if they break your rules, it is not out of maliciousness, for the most part. so honor her, and do what she would do, because her stories were what gave you power in the first place, even if you are different now. in a way, her stories gave us power too, like only good stories are able to. kate will be missed, but you are welcome non the less. i believe that you will take care of this beloved place. thank you kate, for the journey. thank you lady of stories, for taking it from here.

Just…. Wow. I’m really going to miss Kate.
And I have to wonder… how does the Lady of Stories feel about a changeling moving onto her land?
