User blog comment:ATJace/What got you interested in Creepypastas?/ Why do you read Creepypastas?/@comment-9773576-20140114234258

Let me just start by saying: I am a complete horror freak. I love anything horror, and I always try to find new ways to get scared.

Anyway, I have a friend who spends the night every so often, and sometime in January 2013, he showed me MrCreepyPasta's channel.

''I. Got. Hooked.''

I decided to investigate more and learn more about creepypasta...this didn't get me anywhere and I quickly lost interest. In February, he came over for my birthday, and rebooted my interest. I even wrote my first pasta that night (don't worry, it was nothing special, just a Jeff spinoff) and found and made a dA account.

I wrote probably 3-4 spinoffs from February-May. In May (specifically May 24th), I found this site. Seeing the ban on spinoffs, I was disheartened. However, this gave me my inspiration that I should start writing my own original content.

I've written five original pastas since May. I have read/listened to probably at least 500-600 or more.
