User:Emeryy

Allow me to give a quick description of myself. My name's Richard, and I'm 18 years old. The first creepypasta I ever read was Squidward's Suicide (one of the few GOOD lost episode pastas), but my favorite story to this day is still The Russian Sleep Experiment. I've read it multiple times and it still doesn't bore me. Shock endings have been an interest for mine as far as content goes, which is why I never look ahead while I'm reading a story.

Now that the basics are out of the way, I will continue if you're interested.

Emeryy is my name because I like the band, and I also just like the name in general. As far as my music interests go, I listen to a lot of rock and its related genres, such as alternative, metal, and punk. Electronic is also an interest of mine, such as drum & bass, electro, house, and dubstep (I don't care if you think it's trash, i'm a proud dubstep fan).

On the subject of reading (which is essential for any writer), I've tried to form a reading habit over the years, as I've sometimes had a trouble keeping a consistent pattern going. I'd like to read a variety of authors and genres, as it presents a variety of inspirations and ideas. Some favorite authors of mine would be Stephen King, Richard Matheson, Philip Pullman, and Robert Mason (even though I've only read one book by him).

Aside from music and writing, I enjoy playing cards. What about playing cards? Everything. Card games, card tricks, cardistry (if you don't know what cardistry is, I suggest you take a look), collecting, and photography. Photography is also a general interest of mine, so it's not restricted to just photographing cards.

On a more recent note, I have acquired a newfound obsession with magic (as in performing magic). Though cards are my most familiar form (as with many magicians), I don't restrict myself with the style, and I'm continuously trying to expand into other forms of the art. I'm not sure if it's something I'll turn into my career, but it's something I'll no doubt continue to significantly practice in the coming years.

Please give feedback on any of my works, as it's what makes a writer (or any artist) improve. All I ask is that you be respectful. If something isn't right or just simply bad, go ahead and tell me, but please do so in a civilized manner. Saying, "hey man, your pasta could use a bit more description" can help me in the future. Saying, "your writing sucks and you should quit and kill yourself LOL" not only is no help, but it makes you look like an ignorant troll.

I believe I have a lot to improve on as a writer, of course, but I see my most significant issue to be my consistent typos. I typically miss these in my writing, to where I submit and post stories only to find an error minutes later. It's quite frustrating, but entirely my own responsibility, so it's something I really have no right complaining over. Still, it's a point of note about myself.

I take creepypasta reletively seriously, as it's perhaps the most significant influence for my writing. I know there are moments where it should be taken as a joke (as the internet in general shouldn't be taken seriously), but when I see unoriginal, pointless, and awfully writen attempts to scare me, I get a bit frustrated. I give support and respect to those who make attempts at creativity and simply faulter, but if you don't take your writing seriously, why should I?

I'm good friends with TheBushAdministration. He's created some fantastic works, so you should check him out as well.

In case my work interests you enough, my DeviantArt is RichardSouthard. There, I've collected some of my pastas, but post other genres of work as well (poetic, abstract, emotional etc.).

Thank you for taking the time to read about my character, and for any other time you invest into reading my work.
