revenge and suicide are hard and overused but actually work extremely well in longer stories. The issue is, most stories that use these elements don't have enough depth and development. Putting them in most creepy pastas just looks like a cheap tactic. Hell, even in "Bully", a 3 chapter story, I found it rather forced despite knowing full well why the father wanted revenge.

My next work has both of these, but I really don't bring it in until a huge betrayal at the very end of the 2nd book, as if you don't give the readers enough to go on, its just becomes some silly angsty story by some 15 year old.

Storys about bullied kids getting revenge are all over the place. I find this mainly to be, well, simply because many people like to force the character to be "them", regardless if they are actually bullied, but such stories hardly ever hit home.

I know its not really a creepy pasta, but I honestly think Naruto had one of the best rival/revenge stories going on until they milked the hell out of it.
