My first creepypasta isn't even on this site. It was called 'Smile' and was about a haunted china doll with a dsturbingly realistic smile. When I wrote that, I knew it was being a little chiche, but I had never read a single creepypasta at that point in my life. I had just set out to write a short horror story. I had no idea was was writing unoriginal creepypasta 101.

And yes, everything gets stale in time, but creepypasta is a genre. Genre's live on as long as people add ideas to them.
