User blog comment:Banned In CP/Ramble: What the hell is a Creepypasta anyways?/@comment-26425680-20190119145639

Great post! There's been an evolution of the format, that's for sure - it's moved closer to general horror, rather than shorter, easily digested stories that were popular in the beginning. The scope of the subject matter has expanded greatly as well. I think it's an inevitable natural progression, as one can only read so many haunted video game pastas or OC pastas before they all start blurring into one giant, less-than-creepy blob.
