Who said paranormal boards are failing in the first place, anyway? IMO, the popularity of them has declined but that lets us separate the people who truly love horror and writing from the rest. Almost every day a new account is created here, posts a single story that gets deleted for not meeting QS, and never gets used again. The people who want to improve as writers and critics will continue to post here, and use tools like the Writer’s Workshop to improve until eventually their stories do stay up. The people who don’t, just leave. This way, the CP Wiki gives everyone a fair chance to succeed, but only through hard work. Originality is one of the hardest parts of creating an original CP - a lot of good subjects have been taken and done to near perfection by prolific writers like HumboldtLycanthrope or Slimebeast. Personally, in my spare time I’ve been researching obscure mythology that I can use as a basis for my stories. Stuff like ittan-momen, a Japanese mythological creature that’s basically a long length of cloth that flies around, strangling people who try to wear it that it doesn’t trust.

This was probably a little long and rambly, but just wanted to put this out there.
