While I agree, I can find smut enjoyable. that's what a guilty pleasure is. some Creepypastas are always gonna be crap. this genre started out as an internet fad among the likes of chain letters. quality nwas never the3 concern at the beggining. that's why so many old pastas like JTK or SONIC.EXE focus on detailed death rather than story(and I'll always have a soft spot for these "old" stories. we took a look at them and something clicked. we took the idea(SHPOOPY story) and refined it. from SONIC.EXE, we got Ben Drowned. from JTK, we got the idea to make villoains with original designs or simplistic creepyness. can you hate something that set us on this path so much?

Yes. We should demand better. but the problem is that when we say that, we sound like micromanaging bastards(to quote a friend(about me, as it turned out later)). the solution is not to rant or to scream for bans, but to just make better works.

but that brings us to a big point(and I ask this impatially and without any intended offense): can you write a better story? If so, good! stop wasting time in the comments and post it here! if people like it more, it'll draw attention away from this crap and put this story one step closer to the Hall Of Shame in the trollpasta wiki. if not, then you understand that the reason there's so much mediocrity here is because some people really can't write anything better(some publishing firms make their profit that way-buy millions of mediocre titrles and saturate the market).

the best way to improve quality is to make better things, not just cut off the "meh". that ncomes when we have so much good stuff, no one will even notice the "meh" is gone.
