Banning pretty much said what I have to say but I will chime in with two things. 1) I'm always open to interesting contest ideas and 2) I will write just about anything for money if you ever want to commission a nostalgic piece.

However what really, in my opinion, made the original Creepypasta scary was that tinge of realism they had either from their anonymous posting or from the fact that these events could have actually happened. Just look at Ben Drowned. Not only was it one of if not the first multimedia pastas, it was presented in a way that offered a sense of realism which I find adds to the fear factor greatly. Stuff like Please Wake Up or the other early urban legend-style stories were some of the best for the fact that they inspired fear based on the possibility that they could have happened.
