Let's Talk Fanfiction!! {Closed}

Creepypastas.......need I go on?

(*do not take offense from these opinions as they are just my thoughts on some fanfictions. They are not directed at any one story.*)

HOLY CRAP I have been gone an extremely long time for no reason besides me being a lazy potato. And to be honest, I don't remember starting this book. Or writing these chapters. Seriously, it's like the person making this isn't even me.

The clock struck four about two minutes ago, and even though I know that means I haven't slept it two days, I have never been more awake. Or bored. Someone just please make some sort of miracle cure for Insomnia because I am DONE WITH IT!!!!!!

But since we're on the topic of me losing my mind, it's about time I finally brought up the much procrastinated chapter on fictional teenage homicidals and immortal beings of the living Hell.

Let's talk Creepypasta.

I, for one, had no idea the Creepypasta fandom was so messed up. And maybe that's a good thing. But sometimes I look up these fanfictions that have these fricking amazing covers and descriptions...And then I read the first chapter. BOOM! Death by Wattpad story.

So here is my take on not creating a super cliche, all-fricking-powerful, totally predictable OC.

1.) Zalgo and Mr. Slendypants.

The concept of a mortal being taken in by Zalgo or Slender, the virtual image of Satan, and then changed into a "worker" or "helper" boggles me. It's a great idea– but it's literally one of the only plotlines out there. Do these freaks of nature look caring to you? Have we seen anything CANON that proves they have feelings besides the usual "I feel like destroying lives today." attitude?

I think not.

Therefore, these beings are not going to drag in a million psychopaths and turn them into blood-thirsty criminals. Maybe one. Maybe two.

But not the entire fandom.

There's gotta be alternative options besides The Slender Mansion. There's just gotta.

2.) Weaponry, boi.

I despise stories with fan characters who have powers. You don't see Ticci Toby walking around with flames bursting from his hand. Jeff the Killer doesn't have wicked mind powers where his one liner "Go to sleep" is actually a quick spell casted on his victims.

Unless your character is a different version of slender (which also ticks me off), PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT USE THIS CRAP AS A WEAPON. IT IS NOT A WEAPON.

And I'm tired of seeing this knives and blades. I mean, I get it. You're in the kitchen, you spazz, and the first thing you naturally grab as a weapon is a kitchen knife. But OH MY God I see it in every story!!!

You know what would be great? Let's have a character who doesn't have a special weapon. I'd like to read that story. And who knows? Maybe there is one?

3.) Mental illnesses

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!!! Do NOT under any circumstances give a person an illness because it "just sounds cool". And especially do not give a character any sort of problem without proper research.

I could write an entire book on this topic, but I'm going to stop here before curses start flying and I lose my sanity.

4.) .....Relationships......

What.

WHAT.

*Takes very deep breath*

Could we please stop with the "special case"? Jeff is NOT going to not kill a person because they acted different from the rest. His mind is broke, for crying out loud!!!!!! The last thing probably going through his mind when he sneaks into his next victim's window is how cute they look when they're sleeping or how hot they probably are or are not.

And Eyeless Jack is not about to stop dead in the forest and stare at some stranger. He's probably going to rip their intestines out before any of that.

And the list goes on.

They're psychopaths and serial killers– not hopeless romantics. So if you're going to write some fluffy stories about the Creepypastas, there better be a whole lotta conflict before anything mushy happens.

5.) Clothing and stereotyping

If I see one more OC covered in black and white, I will quite literally jump off the nearest bridge. I mean, I personally love a black jacket– but wearing nothing except black and white day in and day out?

Come on, people! Be creative!!

And every OC is practically a Tomboy. Or tomboy-ish.

I'd like to see a girl in pink stab someone. Think of all the one-liners that could come out of that. Not every killer has to be both or emo, and not every "girly girl" has to be prissy.

Someone needs to write a Creepypasta fanfic where the killer is practically the Prom Queen and her arch nemesis is the sarcastic bad girl. There are so many ways that could branch off! And if you do write it, send me a link!

Because all these clichés are making my head hurt.

6.) The perfect kill (last one, I swear)

I haven't seen one fumble from the Creepypastas yet– unless it was part of the plot or done on purpose. It would be great if Jeff could walk up to the window of the next house and be like," Crap, it's locked."

And then have to go to the next house and try again.

Or maybe Clockwork could waltz into a room, slay her victim, and then freeze as she realizes she got the wrong person.

There are so many ways a murder can screw up! And it seems like a lot of stories make the killer innocent by giving them a reason to kill.

How about no?

They don't kill because their targets were/are bad people– in the beginning, sure, but something snapped. Something broke inside of them that can never be fixed. They literally destroy lives for the heck of it. There's no sugar coating, no guilt. Just plain ole bloodlust and cruelty.

That's it folks! That's my rant. Comment your opinions on these topics. Maybe something I said didn't look right, or maybe you have a topic you want to see on here.

Also, it is the first time I have written something without reality and fantasy smashed together, so it's not as deep or depressing or whatnot as the last ones.
