Talk:It's Just a Story/@comment-21086298-20140513055211

MJTR's pastas are smart and well written overall, and I especially ike the way he doesn't try to sound smart by throwing in vocabulary words, letting the writing quality speak for itself.

Donovan's line about wanting to make art instead of exploitation made me laugh, but the self-awareness gimmic didn't really elevate this above the level of just being a good creepypasta.

The parts where Donovan effectively said "shame on you for enjoying this woman's suffering" came off a bit campy, and the broad "take that" jokes about this site took me out of it. Donovon seems a bit hypicrittical, accusing lost episode pastas and video game pastas of being generic, while acting out the most standard "torture-porn" plotline himself.

I hoped this story was going to go completely off the rails, but I guess I've just been spoiled for metafiction by Cabin in the Woods.
