First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone who [articipated. I really appreciate the support.

I went through(copy/pasted) and picked the most repeated and the best (I think) of the cliches and said something about each one. These are in no particular order, but mentioning creepypasta inside creepypasta won, for me.

Here are the top results:

- Too much blood/gore- Killing stories since the beginning of creepypasta history. Really. I think this was one of the fist problems they faced. Just look at Poe and imagine the works that didn't get printed.

-Vomiting from fear. To use a popular term: I just can't even...

-"HYPER REALISTIC AND BLOOD EYED" Hyper Realism is a painting style, not a really high-def vid. Bloody eyed-not possible unless you a James Bond villain. Thumbs up if you know what I am talking about...

-"666 No. Just...No. Why do people do this? The devil is not inherently scary if you think about it. i mean, the idea of eternal damnation is, but that doesn't stop people from "sinning" in other ways...you know what I mean.

-"This is totes for real." NO IT IS NOT if it was, I am pretty sure you would go to the reporters or the tabloids. They would snatch it up like gold. "A story about how your friend is currently being ripped apart by alien? And you have pictures?HelI, I'll take it!"

-"Mentioning creepypastas in your creepypasta.(I remember when I was in the writer's workshop petitioning my first story (a piece of cliched crap) and this exact thing was made to me by one of the writers. In fact, I think they said exactly what Empy said: "Doing this isn't being meta or enhancing your story in any way. At best it breaks immersion and at its worst, it reminds the reader that they could be reading a much better story." It might have even been Empy who said it! :)

-"You're next" Really? You better get in line behind the 397 killer clowns, 37 serial killers, 46 internet pages, and Satan himself, who has personally sworn over 666 death-oaths against me (see what I did there?)
