User blog:Darksparx/Thoughts on What Makes a Good Creepypasta.

Hi! I'm Darksparx. If you haven't heard of me, that's because I'm rather new to this site. Over Halloween I had become entranced in the world of Creepypasta, mostly from Creepypasta Ratings Index and here. I created an account once I finished my first Pasta, Public Restrooms.

The feedback I recieved was really encouraging and is why I am writing this blog. According to one of the comments my writing skills need development but they still gave me a 7/10 rating. They liked the content of the story so I wrote my second one with a wider vocabulary. However I feel at this point that I may not be going in the right direction.

My first pasta, Public Restrooms, I feel has a strong plot but lacks in the writing skills department.

My second Pasta, Footsteps In The Room, I think has good writing but ended up veering away from the content in the process.

So here's my question. What do you think makes a good pasta? Here's my list of what I generally aim for when writing. If you think I should add or remove anything please say so.
 * 1)  A twist ending.
 * 2)  Moderate vocabulary usage. 
 * 3)  Appropriate spelling and grammar. 
 * 4)  No excessive use of comma's. (Something I used to do a lot)
 * 5)  An interesting plot pertaining to a common fear or paranoia. (To make it relatable)
 * 6)  Thought provoking content.

I've noticed some people write things that veer from the general scary story, *Couph* Dogscape *Couph* and have done a fantastic job at it. I'd like to develope my writing skills, so any feedback will be appreciated.

As for any mods reading this, I appologize if I have broken any rules in this blog. I read over the rules on blogging but for the most part got the gist that I'm not supposed to post it for anything more than question? I'm not sure, but if anyone could clarify this with me that'd be great.
