Quicksand Fans

Can't remember the author or title, but remember seeing it posted to deviantart a few years ago.

Was about a Father, mother, and daughter who plane crash onto some remote island. After a few months, (maybe a year?) Daughter goes out exploring or something similar and ends up sinking. Parents show up last minute and the father tries to save her but is too late.

Ring any bells anyone? (Even better if someone has a link/copy of it still)

Thanks!

Yes I remember reading that too. Wish I could help find it.

That sounds like (I think) Blindrift's story Sink Family Robinson.

I think that was it, I just can't seem to find it

Still looking for "Sink Family Robinson" if anyone miraculously knows where to find it. But now there's a second I'm trying to find.

Once again can't remember the title but it was a story I had seen on deviantart about a girl who goes with her friends to a costume party dressed as a jungle girl. (I remember her sneaking out past her parents in a crappy ghost costume to get to the friends car but irrelevant to the plot, just extra detail to hopefully narrow down the search).

Either way, series of "truth or dare" highjinks later, she ends up sinking in a tar pit for a guy on a dare. He pulls her out last minute and in the end Im pretty sure the ended up dating.


I hope this is specific enough for others to remember what story I'm referring to, again sorry I can't remember the name. Hope one of y'all can point me in the right direction to find it. Thanks!

You think it was in the stories section of QSF?

No I never read it in the forums here and all my searches for it here haven't found it either. I always read it through deviantart. (partially due to the fact I didn't even know of these forums until a couple years ago. Still quite new here.)

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if this was somehow also one of Blindrift's stories since it seems rather likely they were the author to the first story I was looking for.

They used to have a deviantart account, but I'm not sure if they are going by the same name anymore, and if memory serves me right, they deleted their stuff, due to a religious experience. That was in 2024, maybe. Not going to knock their decision personally, however I don't think that bodes well for you finding it. Someone else may have posted it somewhere else, or maybe they changed their mind since then. can give it a shot when I am able.

I figured the account was deleted since nothing shows up whenever I search it, though I was unaware of the reasoning if that indeed was the case. Any and all help in finding a copy of these stories somewhere is always greatly appreciated so thank you!
