@VikingMetalToby , hello, i don't know how to express this with sounding mean or desperate or weird or y/n like but, ever since i have read your story during quarantine where my creepypasta era was my biggest obsession, i also had my own story in mind about being with the pastas and living in the slendermansion. Before i discover your story, i already had an idea in mind on what's it gonna be like, how it started, some of the moments and events, but i didn't think of writing it or making it happen. Only when i discovered yours that inspired me to write my own story too. I started planning and all, whats the characters are gonna be, whats the plot, any events, or just mundane stuff to add in the story. But while i was reading your story, waiting for updates, i realized that some scenes were exactly what i had imagined too for my story, so i stop cuz i didn’t want people to think that im copying and make some drama (even though i only made 1 chapter and there’s no reads yet), and years later i have returned, and i wanna continue writing. i just wanted you to know that your story was part of what gave me the courage to finally put mine out there. So thank you for that, and for being so open about letting others get inspired by your work. It genuinely means a lot also sorry for this very long message
