Talk:1999/@comment-24403818-20150417231213

This story continues to captivate and enthrall me. I've given it special treatment that I've never ever given other creepypastas. I have a reading of it on my phone, I've checked back on it, I've actually stopped to read the new updates (usually I wait for someone to do a reading because I don't feel that invested). Sometimes I just listen to the whole thing from the start while cleaning the house.

The only thing that makes me sad is that I've tried to find creepypastas similar to this one, but first off, I can't pinpoint any specific element to search for (ongoing cases? Mysterious TV broadcasts? Scary things on broadcasts? Children's TV?) and secondly, there aren't any stories that grab me like 1999. Others try to make creepy children's show stories, but end up (please pardon me for this crude term) blow their load way too quickly and heavily with the "ooo, isn't it spooo-kee?!?" and end up sounding pretentious or like they're trying too hard. I never once got the feeling that this author was trying too hard. It feels honest. And the pacing? The creepy constantly moves closer, but does it so incrimentally that before you know it, it's there and it's too late. It really knows how to turn the heat up on the frog in the pot of water.

I know this is a lengthy comment, but I know authors like to hear what people have to say to them, so I figure it's ok. And I know you can't answer comments so as to preserve the aura of the story, but somehow, I feel like I know you'll read this and (I hope) it'll give you a good feeling.
