Seems like every other day there's a new vlog/blog coming out. And sadly, most of these aren't following the old pattern. By which I mean, in the early, pre-EMH days when every new blog that wasn't worth anything normally died out. A few crap ones hung on and were ignored, a very very sparse couple of good ones went to their completion, and that was that.

Now it's new ones all the time, almost all of them of the same quality (mediocre at best, galling at worst), all drudging along.

I have to wonder: in this environment CAN a good Slenderblog be made and accepted? Everyone talks of projects but is it possible for their to be a good Slenderblog in all this? Even if it is good, will anyone even notice it since we've got such a watershed of mulch covering the field?

You need to give the blogs time to die out. It's not like they'll give after only two videos/posts. Eventually they'll die out.... And then we'll have dozens more in their place!

I'm not bothered by the huge numbers of blogs coming out, since I can usually speed read through them. My poor internet connection makes keeping up with vlogs harder, so that's kinda annoying. But what really bugs me is the trend of "hey gais, look i found found a blog thats rumrd to b abt slenderman!" Then link to a blog with only an introductory post. Them rumors have been traveling fast, huh?

My theories on the whole mythos only really include EMH, TT, MH, and that blog Finding The Darkness. Those are the big ones for me that hold the most information and are pioneers and execute the whole thing really well. The new storylines are usually half-assed blogs or shitty videos.

I don't think there is a critical mass for these stories quite yet. I have yet to see a Slender blog told with puppets.

whats up with this thread? so you're all crazy for anything slenderman related, have now had a forum dedicated to discussing him and his blogs, but you're complaining about videos and side stories that feature him? i don't get it.

and also, reading through a thread the other day discussing what everyone would like to see in a slenderman story, apparantly you want these stories to go back to the roots of the slenderman mythos. some blogs are doing this. but you still complain. frankly, you're all odd.

"And Yes, Spinner. We're whiners. Deal."


k. it just annoys me to read these posts as of late that say stuff like "ooohh there's a sound distortion! they can't do that, mh already did!!!"

visual and audio distortion, tentacles, garbage bags, paranoid bloggers... all these are generic elements crucial to the mythos. don't become outraged when they are used outside of mh. it's like watching a werewolf movie and saying "ooohh a transformation scene! they can't do that, werewolf in london already did it!!!"
