Now, let me point this out: lost episode pastas have some of my all-time favorites in that genre. Really great stuff. Gaming pastas have some really good pastas as well.

How long has it been since you've seen a good one though?

I don't actively peruse the articles on this or Spinpasta and pay no attention to when a creepypasta was written, so I have no idea if change has occured over time or not. I just know that if I hit "Random Page" on either site, the chances of my landing on a decently-written pasta are equally slim. I see just as few well-written non-gaming creepypastas as I do among gaming pastas. I really see no difference in the numbers whatsoever and don't think that game pastas have stagnated any more than creepypastas as a whole have. Then there's your problem.

Personally, I probably spend too much time finding good pastas. Granted, hitting random is a bad way to find good stories, but you're making a huge generalization here. As with gaming pastas it's been ages since I've seen one that was both new and good. Same with lost episode pastas. In general, though, there are a bunch of really incredibly well-written stories out there. Check out CrashingCymbal's blog and the PotM nominations this month.

You're sitting here saying two things: A) you don't browse this site very often and B) when you do you hit "random". From here it seems like you're making no effort to actually try to find good pastas. You're just talking shit.
