User blog comment:OMGitsGhastly/Question for fellow Pasta Authors: Which author/pasta inspired you to start writing?/@comment-24198312-20140115145730

Although I am still a somewhat new writer, I got my inspiration from a lot of things. The biggest however are horror writers like Poe, some creepy stories/poems like "The Raven" by Poe and "The Lottery" from Shirley Jackson (well, at least I thought it was creepy), and even the Team Fortress 2 Painis Cupcake, which first got me into the creepypasta world (since I also am a gamer).
