Whelp, I just finished reading Penpal.

And I have to say, what a nonsensical, poorly organized piece of garbage that was.

It would have made sense of the author told the stories in their chronological order, but he didn't.

Instead, he's talking about Veronica dying, and then he's talking about when he first met Josh.

Besides, why did the stalker kill Josh and try to get his father to bury them? If he was originally obsessed with the author why did he go for Josh instead?
>>
>>17670927
Don't know. The ending is rightfully considered a cop out by fans.

It's creepy and ticks all the "disturbing" boxes... but it's just disappointing considering the build up.

I however do think that everything prior to that was actually really good. Just my opinion.

Jeff the Killer. I thought it was hot garbage even back then when it came out and I was in the middle of my Spooky Spaghetti-os phase.

>I understood now why the events of my childhood had stopped years ago. As an adult, I now saw the connections that were lost on a child who tends to see the world in snapshots rather than a sequence. I thought about Josh. I loved him then, and I love him even still. I miss him more now that I know I'll never see him again, and I find myself wishing that I had hugged him the last time I saw him. I thought about Josh's parents—how much they had lost and how quickly that loss had come. They don't know about my connection to any of this, but I could never look them in the eyes now. I thought about Veronica. I had only really come to know her later in my life, but for those brief few weeks I think I had really loved her. I thought about my mother. She had tried so hard to protect me and was stronger than I would ever be. I tried not to think about the man and what he had done with Josh for more than two years.

>Mostly I just thought about Josh. Sometimes I wish that he never sat across from me that day in Kindergarten; that I'd never known what it was like to have a real friend. Sometimes I like to dream that he's in a better place, but that's only a dream, and I know that. The world is a cruel place made crueler still by man. There would be no justice for my friend, no final confrontation, no vengeance; it had been over for almost a decade for everyone but me now.

>I miss you, Josh. I'm sorry you chose me, but I'll always cherish my memories of you.

>We were explorers.
>We were adventurers.
>We were friends.

if he made it around 3 more paragraphs longer it would've been an amazing ending honestly

Jesus fucking Christ.

I started reading it and I was like, "it's not amazing, but it's not the worst thing I've ever read."

But the more I read... Jesus it's like the writers IQ started dropping as she wrote (mine certainly fucking did) as there was punctuation mistakes everywhere and the story descended into the depths of sheer autism.

I mean... holy fuck. What a terrible edgy piece of garbage. And I thought Jeff the killer was bad.

Because the author was trying to force an ebic catchphrase with the whole "time is against my main character" thing, when in reality it's the forces of the entire universe being against your main character because you felt the need to make your psychopathic murderer main character as justified as possible.
>>
>>17670927
I always thought the reason the stalker went after Josh was because he had to give up on the author cuz he moved and just had to make due with josh. I assumed that was why he died his hair to make josh look more like the author. Not really sure why he made the Dad bury them though.
>>
>>17676325
Pretty much that. He went for Josh because he was accessible and can be turned to look like the MC. NO idea about the dad burying though, I found that stupid.

I also never understood why he killed the old woman when he lived under the MC's house like... wat. Everyone thought she was senial anyway.

I'm not sure what is cringier, the story, or the faggots rating it 10/10. Like, when I first started reading creepypastas Jeff the Killer was an earlier one I read because blah fads, but that was only bad. This is insultingly bad. It's like one of the comments said "You take some of the worst ones and put them in a blender."

See, this story is a good reason why I like SCPs better than Creepypastas. SCPs are harder to get accepted, they don't let children write them (or at the very least they make you lie and pretend you're a teen), they try and tell you to draft it up and have some guides on what to not do, and they mention to actually RESEARCH if your story/thing pertains to an area of science. I get it, it's fantasy/sci-fi, so suspension of disbelief, but holy shit. At least with smile.jpg the point was that the image was supposed to be haunted and spoopy. This is just retarded. Kid needs to realize you can't just shit out random binary code and have it turn into something special.
>>

>binary dna
Hey guys look at how many other cool pastas I can reference! Us creeps, amiright?
>operation stingray
What a total waste. It was actually really good up until the writer decided to LITERALLY [spoiler] put himself in control of the world in a first person story because "he has guts no one else has" and someone "really admires him" [/spoiler]. Really embarrassingly cliche.
>Happy puppet syndrome
I'm surprised this exists, let alone that it was reviewed so positivly in today's PC world. While I'm not above making fun of the disabled, [spoiler] making them the villain of a horror story and giving them psychic powers and an origin story [/spoiler] is just plain dumb.

I didn't know /x/ didn't have spoilers, maybe I just did it wrong.
Here's the shit I actually really liked though, because you guys care. Consider this whole post to be spoilers, or spoiled, depending on what you think of my opinions.

>The Cell Phone Game
This is great despite the fact that the resolution isn't even scary. It's probably one of, if not the, most clever things I've ever read on the internet. It's long but I can't recommend it enough for the last line.
>lost episodes
This is probably one of Slimebeast's best pastas, and it shows that when he sits down and writes to the reader like an adult rather than in his usual goosebumps, gotcha at the end style, he can create some awesome atmosphere.
>the strangest security tape I've ever seen
it's rough at the beginning and the ending is a little clunky, but it's a very solid idea and actually suspenseful.
>NoEnd House
It's actually spooky throughout, and has an ending that's quintessentially good creepypasta. It also has one of the most successful openings for any pasta that's ever tried the qualifier to open route, where it's usually a clumsy NAH I DONT CARE IF U DONT BELEVE ME
>Ted the Caver
When a pasta is renowned as one of the few real pastas out there, regardless if it's true, you've done something right.
>>
>>17673196
You can tell the author is a 13 year old goth girl and this whole story is just her retarded fantasy, a lot of the parts in the story probably reflect her life to some degree. The real story probably went something like:
>chubby 3/10
>goes to art school
>bf probably recently dumped her emotionally unstable ass
>draws shitty try-hard gory pics
>family is probably concerned and sends her to psychiatrist
>hates her family and doctors because teen angst

The rest is just her fantasizing about being a deep edge lord murderer with a god awful catchphrase, who spouts nonsensical philosophy on the darkness of her life and makes witty snaps at her "super lame" therapist and doctors, and eventually murders her "lame poser" family.

Dunno if this is really the right spot but I couldn't find any other pasta threads, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me find a pasta. i remember there was a website about it that had the original pasta and then a history of the town the pasta took place at, year by year.
>>
>>17680677
can you remember any more details?
>>
>>17680696
I honestly can't be sure but I think it's the subject of multiple creepypastas happening in it. I remember one ending in the authors friend being hung from a poll or power poll or something, which in the creepypasta was a legend of how a murderer died.

The history of the town has some stuff like an iron mine that produced pretty low quality iron, then they went into some sort of chemical factory that made shoe glue or something, then they went into forestry. I honestly thought it was Nightvale but it isn't, it's something similar, like Twilight Zone in a small town kind of feel.

>>17679153

My issue with NoEnd House is that it's a story about a haunted house that feels like a trip through a haunted house. There's a whole bunch of weird scary imagery that doesn't connect in any meaningful way. Any individual room would make for a decent horror story by itself, but strung together it just feels poorly-thought-out.

That and it ramps up way too quickly. The first two rooms are standard Halloween decorations and then boom, overtly supernatural shit.

The Legend of Finger Guy

I live in a small town in north west Montana. There's a frightening legend that circulates every summer. There are some old, dusty woods on the east edge of town. No one lives over there. No roads go through the woods, and it's known that even early settlers avoided the area. Even animals refuse to live there. During summer months, people warn their friends and family not to camp or traverse that area. Most refuse to say why. They're afraid to even speak the creature's name. Only on bright, sunny days when the people are safe in their homes will they speak of... Finger Guy.

Finger Guy lives deep in these woods and viciously attacks anyone who dares to enter them. Finger Guy is a tall, dirty looking humanoid, though few people believe that he's actually a human being. He's been seen by hundreds of people going back to when white people began migrating west into the territory. Before that, the indigenous people told legends of a tall, crazy man who lived in the woods.

Finger Guy doesn't just attack people either, he sexually assaults them in perverse ways. His favorite means of attack is slipping into their tent just before dawn, and inserting a long, dry finger into the camper's anus while holding them down. Most of the people who camped in that area over the last decade managed to survive. But one unlucky man was actually killed by Finger Guy. According to local papers, he went camping on a Friday and was supposed to return by Monday. When he hadn't returned by Wednesday, police began to search for area for him. After several days, they found his mutilated body deep in the woods. An autopsy revealed that the poor man had been fingered... to death!
>>
Of course, the police knew that Finger Guy was to blame, but refused to look for him. None of them wanted to be assaulted and possibly killed by the monster. According to local legend, Finger Guy is impervious to bullets, fire and even holy water. No one knows where Finger Guy came from. Some say he escaped from a mental asylum in the early 1980s. Others say that he's a sasquatch with mange. Still others say that he's an alien, or an interdimensional being. All I know for certain is that if you're ever in north west Montana during the summer months, be wary of lingering in the woods at night. Finger Guy may be watching and waiting to finger again.

>Besides, why did the stalker kill Josh and try to get his father to bury them? If he was originally obsessed with the author why did he go for Josh instead?

This flew over a lot of peoples heads but it's implied that the stalker is either the brother or father of the protagonist.

There are hints of this throughout the story like how in the beginning the protagonist states he has bunk beds despite being an only child and the crazed twin explanation would explain why Josh's father invited the protagonist and his mother over when the bodies of josh and the stalker where found.That was her son/ex-husband

Expanding on the whole crazed person stalking people their siblings theory there's also a possibly that Josh and the protagonist are half-brothers through an affair between Josh's father and the protagonist mother.This would explain why the protagonist has no dad and why Josh's father and the protagonist mother seemed to know each other.

Combine these theories it would also explain the why the stalker settled for Josh.He wanted a sibling and he got one.

This also would explain why the protagonist mother didn't want him dating veronica.

But the narrator specifically says that he wasn't a drug addict and doesn't have a history of mental illness. And even if it did have an unreliable narrator that doesn't excuse the whole story being a sequence of disconnected imagery. If you're writing a story with a main character with an incoherent grasp on reality, I would argue that your main duty as a writer should be to establish a clear line of reasoning in the imagery you utilize. Look at One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or A Scanner Darkly; both stories with protagonists that are nuts, but the ways they are nuts are thematically consistent. Chief Bromden's delusions center around a hidden force mechanically robbing all of society of its freedom; he doesn't have hallucinations of fucking himself in the ass because he's not insane in that particular way.

that's the shit that pisses me off the most about nosleep. i don't care that the vast majority of stories are garbage, whatever, there's plenty of shit pastas on the wiki and plenty of stupid greentexts too. but the fact that you put a warning for shocking or disturbing content on a HORROR literature forum is something that just completely baffles me. we wouldn't accidentally want to frighten people, no, this horror board should be a safe place where no spooks happen. and not only is it completely prissy, this coming from the guy who can't even watch jumpscare gifs without jumping out of his chair, it's fucking spoiling the story.

Ethics of Writing Horror

I have been a longtime reddit lurker on different names, sometimes posting as well in other subs but not this one. This is a possible throwaway depending on how the responses go, or it will become my horror writing login. :P

I used to LOVE horror. Movies and books and even wrote a few stories that I never sent in. For the past fiveish years there has been a character rolling around in my head that just keeps fighting harder and harder to get out- but there's a problem.

He is worse than Slender Man. Seriously.

I am not going to go into specifics because if he gets out my husband will know where he came from; my husband is the only one who knows. Let's just say that once he is let out, there is a really high chance that some murders will be blamed on him just like with Slender Man. He is a demon/monster/pure dark being who those already disturbed would take and sacrifice to or whatnot.

So what do I do? Do I let him out for the entertainment of others? Would those deaths be on my hands? On my fingers as I type?

What is your view on horror stories affecting people? Are all deaths related to horror on the author's hands? Is there an obligation to share a story simply because it is good and will make people think a bit differently?
>>
>>17696236
boy is this lady full of herself. and not only is she full of herself for assuming that her character, which she has revealed zero information on, is going to be scarier than one of the most influential internet created horror monsters ever, she's also falling into the "oh gosh i don't wanna really scare people" pitfall that we were just discussing. when writing horror this should literally be the last thing on your mind, "is my monster TOO scary" fuck you. you need to make it scarier, make a monster that people didn't know they could be afraid of, give people what they didn't know they wanted, don't pussy out because some retard is going to stab someone in some made up fantasy in your head. fucking honestly.

i never read 1999 because it seemed so fucking long, but after one of the more recent updates where i checked in on it and saw that apparently a section ripped off an alantutorial video, i think i just kind of gave up on reading it seriously. i might get around to it one of these days.
>>
>>17696606
Yeah there's two entries that blatantly steal from AlanTutorial videos, like almost wholesale the entire video in text form with like one or two words changed.

It makes no sense to even do it either, because even ignoring the blatant plagiarism the sequence has absolutely nothing to do with the on-going story so it's essentially this really bizarre aside that doesn't have a reason to be there.
>>
>>17696606
>>17696642
people in the comment section were defending the blatant plagiarism by lying, claiming that alantutorial made the video after reading the story

alan's video was from January 2013 while the 1999 update was from June 2015

Similarly I've seen people claim that Alan Resnick himself wrote the story, or at least that part.

Decent rant there.

If we are on the topic of "classic" creepypastas, what is the original slendy story, if a definite original even exists? Most of them suck arse. Some "classic" creepypastas that are either shit or lame could include.

Shit tier:
Dead Bart, Squidward's Sui, Binary DNA (as I mentioned earlier), Sonic.exe, Pokemon Black, Lost Silver, Grin Cat, Bob, Glitchy Red, Lavender Town (honestly, almost anything based on Pokemon is cancer), Tails Doll

Awful Tier:
Eyeless Jack (good image, pretty cool, shitty story), Smile.jpg, Zalgo, Suicide Mouse, Jeff the Killer

Too lazy to finish list.
>>
russian sleep experiment was awful
>>
>>17718291
If I'm not mistaken, but it really was years ago for me, the original "story" was just the image captions on the first two pictures.
>>
>>17718320
>>17718291

That's correct; Slenderman originated from a photoshop thread on something awful. Just like smile.jpg and Jeff the Killer, there was no story, just an image.
>>
It's incredible.

Reddit created an extremely popular sub that encouraged horror writers to produce content and share it. It was one of the most active online writing communities and at least one user was even able to turn his work into a full novel.

But then they just couldn't hold the faggotry back any longer and started forcing all its users to roleplay, and not let anyone criticize or point out any problems
>>
I was thinking, you guys know about ghostpuncher obviously, what if someone did a creepypasta about a haunted Dark Souls game but the player just kept pushing through without crying like a bitch about all the bleeding eyesockets
>>
>>17718334
The closest there is to an original story for the Slenderman was a short story explaining the images that came from the same thread as the original pics, but I don't think that was written by the guy who did the pics.

Marble Hornets also technically began as a Slenderman creepypasta before they ever made the videos.

He was also dressed in the narrator's clothes. They mention the clothes are too small - and that his clothes had all been hung back up in the wardrobe.

Also, remember, the narrator (I can't remember if he's named) woke up and came back to his house - the stalker couldn't pull the same "I've run away" trick twice - so he pulled it with Josh and it worked - possibly to lure the narrator back, or just out of desperation.

Jeff the Killer rant guy here, the video is complete and is going up tomorrow. This is just a bump to keep the thread alive in the night and I guess a fair warning that I sound pretty stuffy in the video, I was recovering from a cold, but in total honesty it didn't affect my voice all that much. It also starts off pretty unenergetic, but the pace picks up as it goes along. I tried to balance out the lackluster delivery of the beginning by trying to put in more visual jokes than the later half, I almost barely edit the later half of the video picture-wise. So anyway, I'll upload that when I wake up tomorrow.

It's up. I never want to speak, hear or write the words "Jeff the Killer" again after listening to this about 4 times in editing.

I mention during the influence section of the video that Clockwork has pretty much the same fundamental flaws as Jeff the Killer, but it's also got so many problems on it's own that I might just make a future video about it, not the least of which is the senseless portrayal of child rape or the graphic dismemberment of her family at the end.
