One characteristic is the use of a normal or positive setting. For example, a happy town with friendly neighbors. This lulls the reader into a false sense of security before the horror kicks in. Another is the introduction of a seemingly innocent character or group. Like a group of schoolchildren on a field trip.
Perhaps a young couple getting married and having their honeymoon in a luxurious, secluded resort by the ocean. Everything seems perfect at first. The ocean view is stunning, and the service is excellent. But one night, the wife wakes up to find her husband missing, and there are strange footprints leading to the beach. This is a start that can lead to a horror story as she begins to search for her husband and discovers the terrifying truth about the resort.
A mysterious setting can be a great start. For example, 'In a small, fog - covered town where the streetlights flickered ominously...' Another good start could be an interesting character introduction like 'There was a young girl named Lily who had eyes that changed color with her mood...' Also, starting with a conflict works well, such as 'The moment the letter arrived, his world turned upside down.'
One great 'Ash starts with Gible' fanfiction is 'The Bond of Ash and Gible'. In this story, Ash discovers a young and timid Gible. He takes it under his wing and they embark on an adventure through the Orange Islands. The story beautifully portrays their growing bond as they face various challenges together.
A good start for a friendship story could be 'She was new in town and feeling lost until he showed up with a big smile and a helping hand.' This starts with a situation where one person is in need and the other offers support, which is a common theme in friendship. 'They had been neighbors for years but never really talked until one day, a shared interest in gardening brought them together.' This one shows how a common interest can start a friendship. 'When she dropped her books in the hallway, he didn't hesitate to help pick them up, and that was the start of something special.' This shows a small act of kindness leading to a friendship.
😋I recommend the following two novels to you:
1. "Haunted House Night Talks": This is a collection of horror stories. Every story is extremely scary, but it is very suitable for readers who like short horror stories.
2. [After Transforming to the Supernatural Game]: This is a short story about a game world. It's very interesting. In this game, players had to work hard to avoid all dangers. What would be waiting for them after the game was cleared? I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Overall, American Horror Stories has its moments. It offers a mix of horror and drama, but the quality can vary from season to season. Some episodes are really well-done, while others might not live up to expectations.
