    • Cubicle Jungle - A tale of a plucky worker stuck in a horrid savanna of office blocks, where a herd of white collar workers are constantly tormented by the fear of a supervisor looking over the walls, licking their chops, and going in for the kill.

4chan[edit]

Disclaimer: While no NSFW images are displayed, be warned that 4chan is a website where where rape jokes and pornographic subtext were par for the course. However, as Nurse-kun states, "4chan, at it's core, is simply humanity without its formalities."

The Father and his Daughter[edit]

Tales about anons who discovered an orphan in a terrible situation, and with the unexpected encouragement of the legions of Anonymous, helped them back up to their feet. Two anons, inspired by the first, repeated that kindness again in their own lives.

Those anons became more than kind strangers; they became their child's mentors and adopted fathers.

These stories are also of significant historical importance for their immersive depiction of 4chan culture during the Civil War Era (2006-2008).

  • Damaged Goods (2006-2007) - What happens when Anonymous decides to grow a heart and help a literally broken girl smile again? This is the story of a registered male nurse who posted to 4chan about his newest patient, a triple amputee orphan.
    • Believing that there was no way he could help her, he posted his story on /b/, hoping for some lulzy responses. Unexpectedly, Anonymous showed empathy in epic proportions, pressing the man to give the girl a shoulder to cry on and maybe even give her a home.
  • Blindmute Loli (2007-2008) - A spiritual sequel to Damaged Goods, Blindmute Loli is about an American everyman who finds his life turned upside down after he saves, and later adopts an orphan from the street.
    • The injustice he suffers and the struggles he goes though just to see his adopted daughter will make you laugh, and will make you cry. Nobody knows if it's real or not, but it's a good story nevertheless.
  • Romeo-san and Juliette (2007-2008) - Story taken from 4chan's /b/. Romeo-san, as he's called, has taken in a little girl that ran away from an abusive house. He decides that it is in his best interest that he adopt Juliette (sleepy-chan)
  • Adoption Aniki (2010) - Following a tragic accident resulting in the loss of his aunt, an /a/non is faced with a choice; "walk out of the office, she'd never know who I was and I'd never have to see her again - or I could fill out some paperwork and she'd go home with me."
    • A real life Usagi Drop, and a worthy spiritual successor to Damaged Goods and Blindmute Loli.
  • Moldovan Anon (2015) - A story like that only with no happy ending. You have been warned.

    • Hilarity ensues. And drama. And all those other emotions you see in a good band movie. It's a story definitely worth making a movie about.
  • Tramp Anon (2010) - The recollections of an anon thrown out of his house as a youngster, left homeless in a cold and hungry world.
    • He faces tremendous pain and struggle in a vicious cycle of poverty, relying only on his will to survive. But one day, an immigrant girl decides to cut him some slack when no one else would, and bring him back to a normal life.
  • Cool Story Bro (2012) - When an anon from /r9k/ opens his door one fine day, he sees a woman on her knees, begging him for help; one that betrayed his love, shattered his trust, and stole from his family.
    • And despite the odds, Dan, conflicted between deep-seated hatred and lingering love, reluctantly gives a safe haven to a woman whose transgressions he once deemed "unforgivable".
  • anon-❦-femanon (2013) - The story of best friends and lovers, separated by life's tragedies, reunited at long last.
    • Proves that love is always stronger than hate, or crazy.
  • Hanna and Nilaya (2014) - When meeting one of his young daughter's friends, an anon faces the trials of family and racism.
    • A real tragedy, one that feels so real that you wish it were fake.
  • Ella (2015) - In college, an anon and a bro is instantly mesmerized by the "girl next door": Ella. The bro, named Pete, enrolls in a fashion class to have something to talk about with her, and ends up knowing more about fashion than most seniors do about economics.

It was embarrassing, but she caught on to his unrequited love... and decided to ask him out on a date, and they hit it off.
