Try to keep in mind, Creepypasta isn't really unique as a genre or style, it's unique as a media. It's just a mode to express these stories. As for it becoming banal, I find the prospect impossible. I've been on the internet a long time, particularly I've been a member of communities on /x/, Cenobite, etc. and if the continued existence and popularity (using that word loosely) of sites like those are any indication, it's a safe bet that Creepypasta as a unique media will continue to grow.

What I've seen is creepypasta grow alarmingly well. It was the awkward little kid with rudimentary ideas like Jeff the Killer and Eyeless Jack, you know, the mainstays. It's since grown into a beautiful adult, with long hair, big tits, legs for miles. You get the picture. We have amazing authors coming out of the woodwork that are publishing things that are grotesque and beautiful. Even in spite of the people that write shit knock offs, for every 5 of those we get 1 genuinely incredible piece of literature. To me that is so worth it.
