To me, it's kind of like saying you were too late to "get into stories with protagonists named Joe". If you write a story and call the protagonist Joe, you have now made a story with a protagonist named Joe. Similarly, if you write a story on this site, or put it in Writer's Workshop and it eventually goes onto the site proper, you have created a creepypasta. Heck, if you write a story on Deviantart and call it a "creepypasta", you have now written a creepypasta.

Maybe I just don't understand. Can you explain what you mean a bit more, or explain what about the Thieves' Guild makes it similar to creepypasta? One, to elaborate, I meant that the culture itself just doesn't seem as ripe with good stories nowadays like it used to be. Two, the Thieves Guild thing is a joke. (In Skyrim, they're a group of thieves who've had their work paying off less and less lately to the point to where the organization is on it's last legs)
