Hmm, I wish I did have a better suggestion for "Beings". I'm actually only recently going through the site and finding what I like. I kind of stopped for a while after BEN because I was still too sensetive to the genre. I have a friend I'm wanting to do some read-alouds for which is what has started me looking for good stories to do that with. She really wants me to do Laughing Jack, (her favorite) but my attempts to contact the author have proved, thus far, unfruitful. :'(

I don't know that Slenderman is "overrated." As I said before, different people are frightened by different things. It just wasn't my thing ^_^ At any rate, if I come across something that works better for me in that category, I'll let you know ^_^

Regarding videos and the like, I will say that those definitely influence the fear factor in me. Not so much the story, but the video that goes along with... what was it... Mouse.avi? Anyway, more than the story, just the screaming in that vid was too much for me. After I actually read JtK, I was dumbstruck by how dreadful the writing was, but that image still haunted me for several nights afterward. I don't think I've actually read through Squidward's Suicide as yet apart from brief summaries. I may have to check that one out ^_^
