The thing about the ditto theory is that it really isn't a story at all. A story is defined as an account of events featuring characters (that can be real or made up). The pasta above is a theory, which is defined as a supposition or system of ideas intended to explain something. I agree with your point to a degree. Some of the greatest stories on this site are not exactly the prime definition of terror. However, I do think that in order to be considered a creepypasta, the story itself must be horror related. Otherwise it cannot really be considered a creepypasta. Keep in mind that creepypastas are supposed to be horror themed. That horror can be represented in a number of ways, however. Without the horror, cease to be creepypastas at all.
