Yeah. Remember me? No? Me neither.

I'm back after a long time of thinking to myself, "Should I go to that wiki thing and request that 500th Gary Stu story entered in for the day be deleted? Nawww, someone else will always be more dedicated at something than me." It's not that I don't like this place. I love it. I just needed a slight break of forcing myself to go through stories and edit them at a higher rate than the rise of childhood obesity.

Don't worry, I'm getting to my point.

After returning, I noticed that there was something known as the Damn Fine Pasta Contest going on. "Oooh," my brain excitedly spat out, "a competition! I want to enter!" However, after realizing that Rollbacks weren't allowed to enter, I silently waddled away like a dejected puppy.

But what was the real reason I wanted to enter? I didn't exactly care about the rewards. Cool, some Steam games I've never heard of. I figured out that that wasn't what had sparked my interest. It was an opportunity to write a story. I wanted to write again.

After grabbing hold of Hanging Man Hill when it was at its peak, I lynched it and flaunted it about like Achilles dragging Hector's body around Troy. I spat a request for people to narrate it at just about every semi-popular Creepypasta reader on Youtube. I wasn't beating a dead horse at this point. I was weakly kicking its fossilized remains.

After one person finally decided to read it, I recieved a flood of praise. I've figured out that praise is kind of like a drug. The first few times, it's a euphoric burst of awesome. After a while, every little "Good story!" starts to get old. It loses its effect. That makes me feel awful because I think I'm just not appreciating the positive criticism. It sucks.

After realizing that it wasn't the greatest story to begin with and that people want to see stories regardless of whether or not there's a reward behind them, I've decided that I'm going to be producing a story over the next few days.

That's about it. You can go now. Thanks for your time, or whatever.
