Oooh, he mad.

That's not the reason I banned spinoffs (though the fact that stories about them tend to attract incompetent writers is certainly part of it.) The reason is that the constant aping of popular stories was choking all the creativity out of the genre. Unoriginality is the cancer that is killing Creepypasta, and this rule brings us one step closer to the cure.
