Damn, this is hard. I guess in general I'm satisfied with my work, but I don't think much of it is that good.

I'm happy with my two newest pastsa, HD Death and A Tear in the Wallpaper. Thanks to everyone who helped in the writer's workshop. I took more time and care with them than I used to, which is my new outlook. I mean, why rush? Who's breathing down my neck to finish? Nobody!

In terms of my most popular stuff, I'm kind of proud of Jason Loved to Read simpy because I'm not an avid reader of books and yet I really struck a chord with people who are. It's also the third pasta I wrote, so its critical acceptance is much appreciated.

Arms is pretty good and I think it deserves the praise. I was psyched when someone translated it to japanese. However, and even though I tend to promote it, I don't think No Right Turn on Red is very good. I almost want to change the ending but it's too late now.

Dying Happy is one of my favs because I managed to pull off a video game pasta that isn't intended to shock you. It's not the best in terms of the writing style but it successfully disturbs people and it has a special place in my heart because I wrote my best friend as one of the characters.

Another one of my favorites is A Fresh Grave, which has thankfully succeeded in what I was trying to accomplish. (Can't elaborate or I'd ruin it)

I used to really like The Closet Behind the Wall, but now I see it as more of a script than a creepypasta and it's a bit too melodramatic with unlikeable characters (people on creepypasta.com HATED Lily). I've also come to not be too fond of No Homophones, even though I promote that one too. Most people don't seem to understand exactly what I was going for and I think that's changed my perspective a bit.

Please Take Just One and Little Carver are okay I guess, but because they're intentionally juvenile they didn't really stand the test of time for me. At least they get attention around Halloween.

Of my more under the radar stuff, I think An Unwanted Passenger is one my best, though I don't see it as something that most people would appreciate.

Rowboat is just an anecdote with a twist, nothing special. Memento Mori is a full-on anecdote so I don't really know how to analyze it in this context, but it was good therapy to write. Peggy Has a Problem is okay I guess, for a micropasta. That one is secretly a joke because my mom has a handfull of friends named Peggy.

Dog Children and Spiderland are probably the two that I'm the most confident about. If I was going to promote myself as a real writer, those are the two I would go with. I feel Dog Children is well written and the ending is a good example of how I would typically end a story. Spiderland doesn't get many readers I think because it's long and most people have never heard of Slint and maybe think they need to in order to understand the story (which they don't).

Then there's Empty House, a pasta that people like but I'm not sure is very good. And yet... I'm writing a sequel AND a psuedo-prequel! WHY??

Wow, I really spent a long time on this, lol. I hope mine doesn't turn out to be the most long winded... Banning help me!
