I think the concept you have is workable, but unfortunately it seems you have butchered it. It is evident that you are a young and inexperienced writer with alot to offer, so don't jump the gun and rush a story in order to complete it. This story needs more time and love put into it; which will greatly enhance the quality.

First of all simple grammar is almost non-existent. You have missed capital letters and punctuation which makes the story hard to read. The syntax is extremely awkward and some sentences need to be reread to make sense. The story is extremely lacking depth-wise and I was wanting the narrator and his friends to be killed by the mysterious cameraman - not because I hated your characters but I liked them about as much as an extra in a film whose sole purpose is to be killed. Also, the structure makes the story hard to read as it does not properly flow from start to finish.

I like the concept, and I love your ambition. But frankly the story is of very low quality. Please take into consideration my critiques as they may be harsh but I only want you to use them to rewrite your creepypasta. I suggest extending the story, thus allowing more depth to the characters, the setting, their predicament and the mysterious cameraman. In doing this the story will evolve from a campfire story to a proper creepypasta. Ensure you stay away from cliches too.

Take care, I hope to see the rewritten story on the writers workshop again soon.

A_O. Welcome to this site, it took me a long time to mature and review sites maturely. You, I like you. ;).

As for you DarkRemnants, I would have to agree that your story was butchered and rushed. Little character development. Why when your friends realized they were being watched did they want to stay; there's a big piece of work missing in a unique story.

The problem is, this sounds more like a campfire story than a creepypasta. There's know exposition, stuff just hits the fan, and days go by in between one or two sentences. Also, you give the story a name like the woods yet your story has nothing to do with the woods, very loosely; I mean.

Work on developing the story more, you've got a good idea.
