Seeking Truth/Just Another Fool/EvermanHYBRID.

Order for the last two is debatable; they'd be tied for second if I could do that.

How do you people keep fining Slendy-blogs?
Seriously. I looked and the only thing I could find were a couple Tumblr blogs showing up because they've got a misspelled word or whatever.
Thought I had one the other day... had a creepy tree background, a picture of a daddy longlegs, looked promising. Turns out the moron just left out a space and a comma.

Thanks, MGS!

And thanks for the votes on favorites. I added a quick fav list in the first post; nothing taken away or added so much as re-direction newbies' attention to the best, according to you guys, first.

Also, thanks for the reminder about the Tutorial, MGS. XD I'm glad that there are new posts up!

Haven't been on in a while and honestly haven't been following many of the side-stories. I read through all of JAF a while back to see about the hype, seeing as it was one of the originals, but I honestly felt a little disappointed with it. It had some good points, but there were some gaps in its logic.
A lot of the sidestories and blogs have felt pretty gravy-train to me, in the "everyone's jumping on board" sense.
I followed Seeking Truth for a while though, the writing at least was good enough to hook me a little. Thinking of getting back into it.
Also CUT! is funny as hell; if they keep that up, I'll be happy to keep reading it. Despite the annoying coded messages (in anything besides MH, those tend to be a real turnoff for me) the idea of Slendy as a horny bastard with a thing for hot wives has to be the best idea yet.
So... suppose it would be, in preference order:
MH
CUT!
and Seeking Truth.

Am I the only one of the opinion that "coded" messages are really irritating though? I'd like to read a blog with some subtlety instead of one with jumbles of letters and "HE'S WATCHING" dumped all over it.
At least they're a good distraction till Season 2 of MH though ^^

Trygon

1. EveryManHybrid
2: Tribe Twelve
3: None. Because I can only be arsed to catch up with video blogs. Text Walls = BORING

MH would be at the top, but I assume that we are only talking about non-MH stuff.

Some of the walls of text ain't bad, if you're willing to sit still for a few minutes. So far the best one is Seeking Truth, in my opinion; I'm waffling on The Tutorial for the moment. It's interesting and I love the little character studies in the stories that the protagonist tells, but I'm not sure where it's going or if it's going to peter out like JAF did.

As for subtlety, there's a good balance. Using a smoking gun's always good. I think that the best way to go about subtle is by running an idea, or a story through some friends. If they get it too fast, tone it down. If they don't get it at all, find some ways to ramp it up... it's probably why the vlogs that are so popular have multiple characters involved. With all of those guys being involved they've got to have tossed ideas back and forth before they went and put them into action!
