When I first heard of creepypasta, it was on youtube, WatchMoJo to be exact. I was looking for something creepy and found a list of the top ten creepypastas. This, of course, was the same generic creepypastas: Ben Drowned, Slenderman, Smile Dog, and, of course, Jeff the Killer.

I did a little digging and found narrations on youtube and would start to listen to them. Some of them were really great, and others, not so much. But it seemed like something that I really wanted for one of my stories. I spent about a week of just listening to creepypastas, mostly CreepsMcPasta, and fell in love with the idea.

Now that I have written some, and had a few narrated, my viewpoint has changed. I am happy that the people who have chosen my stories to narrated enjoyed them enough to do so. And I wouldn't say no to anyone who would like to narrate one of my stories, but I don't really know if that would be the best thing.

Sure, it is great to get the publicity. Yes, it makes me happy to know someone liked my story enough to make a recording of them reading it. But I don't know if I really want to be grouped together with stores like Jeff the Killer and Sonic.exe.

The reason this is coming up is because I do still listen to creepypasta on occasion. But I would much rather listen to what HooDoHoodlumsRevenge would have to say about the stories and his list of what is good or not.

Because he is the best on Youtube? No. Because I find him more entertaining. He says what he feels about a story, which is great. He doesn't just go with what others want him to say, at least I don't think he does.

Anyway, that was a little off topic. It's not that I don't want my stories narrated anymore, but I don't really care if they are or aren't. What I would rather have, is a group of people who really enjoy my stories because they enjoyed reading them. Not because someone else enjoyed them and they think they should too.

Sorry, but I just felt like talking tonight. Thanks for reading this if you had.

Best,
