 		Looks like nothing to me other than an Architect Verse/Arkn Mythos ripoff. The concept it really dumb, too. Seriously, the entire basis of your mythos (referring to sacktroop) is that there are multiple slendermen? I'm pretty sure in order to be a standalone mythology you need your own ideas & creatures. You can't just steal someone else's monster, give a slight tweak to its backstory, and then claim that you've made a mythology. Just because there are multiple slendermen doesn't make it an original idea. There's nothing original here, and it certainly doesn't qualify as being a "mythos".

 		you know both The Slender Man Mythos, Fear Mythos, and
Architect Verse also uses The Slender Man.

First off, learn how to make a post correctly. You don't write your message in the subject and subject description box. I've seen you do this on multiple threads and it's really obnoxious.

Secondly, yes, I know that both of those mythos use them. The Slender Man mythos is a mythos about the creature itself, so yes, of course it would use him. This "Glass Shard Mythos" should be a branched out 'verse of the slender man mythos, not its entire own mythos. As for the Fear Mythos, the Slender Man is NOT. THE. FOCUS. OF. THE. MYTHOS.

First off, the Fear Mythos and Slenderverse are practically co-existent, as we've seen with various different fearvlogs/blogs crossing over with slendervlogs/blogs. Because of this already pre-existing connection, the Fear Mythos decided to use that as an opportunity and give Slender Man and the Rake an explanation in their mythos by using what their mythos is actually about: Monstrous manifestations of humanity's worst fears. If you took the time to read their pages on the Fear Mythos wiki then you'd see that.

Lastly, the Architect Verse isn't a mythos. It's a 'verse that's apart of the Fear Mythos. Slender Man is apart of it because he's also apart of the Fear Mythos.

Also, that doesn't make up for the fact that you've still stolen concepts from both the Architect Verse and the Arkn Mythos.

maybe your right. but last time i've made a verse in The Fear Mythos it went horribly wrong. now i said the mythos is inspired by The Angel's Game and FallenSeven. FallenSeven was a slendervlog that featured Angels and Demons. and The Angel's Game featured multiple slendermen. the mythos was also going to be featuring other beings. i was also going to make this mythos co-existent for other Webseries and Written Works to collab with other slenderblogs, slendervlogs, fearblogs, and fearvlogs. so it was going to be a co-existent mythos to The Slender Man Mythos and The Fear Mythos

 		That isn't enough to qualify as being an entirely new mythology. That's enough to be considered a "sub-canon" or a 'verse. If the Slender Man was just a background thing for the mythos, and your original ideas (Which I still fail to see) took the foreground of your lore, then this would MAYBE be worthy of being considered a mythos. However, all you've done is come up with a premise with, at most, can be the concept of a 'verse. More realistically, it's only the concept of a single series or an anthology. Nothing in this is worthy of being separated from the Slender Man mythos in any way. Also, no one said you had to create in the Fear Mythos.

actually you're correct. my mythos is actually going to be a mythos with the slender man being the background thing for the mythos with some of my ideas.

Agreed, i honestly don't see anything in this that can qualify as original :/
(also the series Searching4TheTruth seems like a blatant ripoff of the Arkn series Starving4Truth.)

uhh don't judge a book by its title. thats just the name of the series. it has a different plot than Starving4Truth. it does not have the same plot read the plot before you say its a ripoff

 		Sacktroop, is this seriously happening again. You're trying to hold up your argument with both invalid and unrelated points. The reason they thought you were copying Starving4Truth is because even the title makes it look like you're copying it. They would've read the plot if you didn't try this MULTIPLE TIMES already. Everything, and I mean literally EVERYTHING, Vigilant Vertigo said holds up. This could've faired a lot better if it wasn't trying to seem bigger than it actually is. There's ONE SERIES in this "mythos" and the premise just sounds like an offshoot of the Fear Mythos with a bunch of stolen ideas from FallenSeven, Angel's Game, and the Arkn Mythos, as said before. And once we addressed these things all you did was act like it's all part of you "GENIUS" master plan. At least think these things through COMPLETELY before you have someone make a thread for your "mythos". Something I've noticed with everything you've made is that you never think it through completely. A lot of the creators (myself included) used to be like you but news flash, WE LEARNED. You haven't learned, no matter how many times we told you, and honestly this is becoming tiresome. Do not try to create anything without thinking it all through first. And once you've thought it through, discuss it with someone who will actually give you FEEDBACK. I would've let this slide if you didn't do this countless times before, as you said earlier.
