Hey guys. I’m currently a PhD student at Durham University, studying religion and popular culture. My thesis focuses on creepypasta and how important these narratives are to the community that creates and shares them.



That being said, I’m interested in your experiences writing/creating/reading creepypastas and generally horror stories or images. What led you to begin creating? Why continue? How do you feel about "in person" communication/posts? If you’d rather not post so publicly but want to respond, you can feel free to send me a message.



If you’re interested and willing to do a more personal interview (can be via email, messages, or skype, whatever you need) you can message me to arrange it. These would be unstructured interviews, meaning we just have a conversation – no set questions; we just go and talk about what you find important. Thanks guys!



If you have any questions, concerns, want more information, or what-have-you, you can also email me at my university email:[mailto:vivian.asimos@durham.ac.uk vivian.asimos@durham.ac.uk]



Some before have expressed interest in knowing a lot more specifics on my research, which I'm more than willing to share if you'd like to know. Just haven't posted it here in hopes of not boring people from the get-go.

(side note: I've also posted this, with little to some variant, on some sub-reddits. If you've seen me already there, I'm sorry to have to bother you multiple times.)
