I'm a little iffy on them being okay the first time, actually. Video game and lost episode creepypastas, in my opinion, just aren't very good. There's something about them that just *can't* strike me as a credible threat, so I don't find them creepy at all. Still, I respect the right of anyone who does like them to enjoy them.

The fact that they're always, invariably the same is why I avoid them entirely. It's one thing to follow a template, even a slightly ridiculous one (some very good pastas do). It's another thing completely to tell the same story twenty times.
