User blog:TheStarshipCommando/A little question...

Hey, guys, this is my first blog post! Anyway, I'd like to take the time to say that I love the site. I've read some stuff from it before I joined, and I'm also currently thinking about even writing. I feel I'm well-equipped to do so, but I dunno if I'll follow through as I seem to have some problems with enthropy, frankly. Time will tell, I suppose.

Anyway, now to the question I mentioned in the title. Writing guides on the site tend to advise against mentioning creepypasta when writing a creepypasta. I personally don't see how that would break immersion or anything as I don't really think about creepypasta itself when reading one — though it's probably just me — but why exactly? Why isn't it exactly a good idea to mention creepypasta, and would it hurt to also at least mention the horror genre when writing? Not that I'm planning on doing just that or have anything against what is said about it, it's just that I've never read a story on the site which does so to my memory.

Thanks in advance, by the way. You guys are wonderful.
