Everyone has been talking about Jeff the Killer and OC art or whatever. No offense to anybody but I can't help but cringe.
This is great information. I was a fan of CreepsMcPasta, but if what you are saying is true, then I won't watch any more of his stuff and I will beg everyone else to do the same.
CreepsmcPasta, MrCreepypasta, or FreakyAttractions (he specializes in attraction-based pastas, like scary Chuck E. Cheese stories)
Hey it's all right. When I was younger I read Smile Dog and it scared the daylights out of me. It scares you for a bit and then you get over it.
It's all just immature pre-teens who think having mental health issues makes them "different" or "cool." What strange times we live in where having mental or behavioral disorders is seen as a good thing by some...
Jeff the Killer is simply not a good piece of writing. You could honestly take a high school creative writing class and probably come up with something better than that story. It's probably the most overrated piece of work I have ever seen on the internet.

I mean this in the nicest possible way when I ask you this, but why does your bisexuality have anything to do with creepypasta?
Thanks!!
I'm gonna have so much fun this Halloween! And of course my birthday is the day before Halloween!
@Tewahway Umm... Yes.
Story of my life.
It's okay as long as it adds to the story.
I see. It is nice art to look at, I guess I've just gotten so used to all the excessive OC posts people put on here that it can be hard to tell who's good and who's just immature and looking for attention. But, I really do like your art a lot!
Thanks! Yeah I honestly think gratuitous erotic content is disgusting and unnecessary, but I give it a pass if it is thematically significant to the story in some way. I believe that all writing or anything creative ultimately has to say something about the human condition, and horror fiction is often meant to showcase the darker side of humanity. With that in mind, a lot of horror works have dark undertones or themes embedded in them. In that case, to me the content is acceptable if it adds to the overall meaning of the work. But in the case of many creepypastas, which are often written by amateur writers, the NSFW content is just a cheap way to make something seem more disturbing. Truth be told, experienced writers know that you don't need to be explicit or borderline pornographic to be scary. So don't worry if you don't enjoy that type of story -- honestly you probably aren't missing out on all that much.
The art is really cool, I'm not gonna lie. It's quite well done. You have far more talent than I do. However I feel like artwork isn't really the point of creepypasta, but if that's what you want then you do you.
I really agree with you. The thing is, NSFW stuff can add to a creepypasta (I can explain my theory as to why in more detail if you would like), but if done poorly it just comes off as a poor attempt at shock value and even like the author is just trying to inject explicit content into the story because they themselves enjoy it. I don't really like gratuitous NSFW content, as it doesn't really add to the story or the horror factor and just seems corny and "edgy". So, I hear what you are saying. Although, there are cases where sexual/graphic/exploitative content can add to the story and actually enhance the theme of the work.
For example, many of Stephen King's horror novels and stories have NSFW themes, but they are always there to add to the story and show the reader something about the characters. But gore for the sake of gore and porn for the sake of porn just comes off as immature and ultimately dumb. It's just not good literature.
@Cornconic I think they mean that it's the start of the Halloween season, as the beginning of October. I myself celebrate Halloween all throughout the month of October.
Yeah, and the fact is that most of them aren't all that great.
For me there's only two seasons of the year -- Halloween and Christmas.
