Welcome back, and may Chaos take you where you need to be.
If we’re comparing them to the most successful icon, Slenderman?
Well. I think slashers would’ve come back into popularity. Maybe even redefined the genre to make more interesting characters that aren’t stupidly named. Like “The Bye Bye Man”.
Russian Sleep Experiment potentially couldve been its own “The Belko Experiment” and had a major movie adaptation. Its kind of annoying, having to compare creepypastas to movie adaptations since theres a lot more you could do with them. Slenderman even had his own B list horror game spinoff from 8 Pages; “The Arrival”.
I think Smile Dog came closest to reaching its potential, but moreso as an abstract concept. It lends itself well to the idea that an object, image or phrase can be “cursed”, what is essentially an infohazard or cognitohazard.
We are not currently accepting pastas based off existing franchises. However, Spinpasta, Geoshea and Flamintales I believe accept those.
Knock off the reply reports, please.
If its not on the website, no. It's like asking if Mario is a SEGA character.
Try the writer’s workshop.
Deleted for drama. But welcome back, some users are slowly trickling back in, myself included.
Probably Wanda, given she’s capable of soloing the entire Marvel universe several times over.
Writer’s Workshop is the best place to get feedback. Post it there and I’ll stop by later today to have a read.
If its based on an existing franchise and follows a “haunted game” experience then no, it would have to pass a Spinoff Appeal first. However I know Geosha’s Lost Episode and Spinpasta are more than welcoming of those types of stories.
And uh, for the record I can see what posts you report. I’m just telling you the rules, its your choice whether you follow them or not.
This won't be allowed under our current guidelines. No OC pastas or haunted video games based on existing franchises.
Have a look at my profile, all my favorite pastas are grouped there.
Because the original author doesn't understand basic human biology and thought "wow! eyelidless = cool!" In reality, Jeff would probably die from an infection within a few days or weeks.
Slenderman is not real. Locking thread.
Workshop’s always open for critique. WB
You’d have to send it through spinoff appeal.
Not necessary, but some people do request it via a {{Delete}} template.
Take a gander at the Site Rules and maybe just explore the site in general. Ideas don’t come from nowhere, you have to work your way into them by consuming content and writing out your thought processes.
Slenderman was the first, created in 2009.
