I just noticed today that King had namedropped Alhazred in one of his short stories. Made me think about that theory of yours.

Started following this one thanks to Slendy Review.

I decided to bite the bullet and send the guy a question with a link to the tumblr site saying "Here, this is why all these anonymous people are sending you questions, this is why, check it out." *That* ought to get a response.

Also started reading this because of the Slendy Review. Very good find. I was surprised by how much humor it (seriously, Bennywise is quickly becoming my favorite Slender Mythos character by just being a genuinely funny person who seems relatively normal at the moment, which is not something you see often in these stories) had while still implying a malevolent prescience behind everything.

Can't wait for the next update. Since its been over a week since the last post, and considering people have started linking to the tumblr blog, I'm guessing the next update will be pretty eventful.

I've just got to say the narrow single column format makes my eyes cry.

Hrm, definitely enjoying it. Chat logs is a genius way to take the format in a different angle. And Bennywise is awesome. On my reading list.

I really like this. Every one of the characters have such solid personalities from the get-go. Sam is our average-joe character, who everyone can relate to. Alex is obviously the bad yet caring girl, I suspect she'll get killed or something in the future since she's so close to him. Then there's BennyWise, our Wallace character, to use a Scott Pilgrim reference. He's above it all and is just cracking jokes, providing a fan-favorite instantly. Hopefully he'll make it through the events of it all.

Personally, of all the characters so far, I hope Dockta dies if any have to. But yeah, Alex will probably bite the bullet.

BennyWise remains hilarious in the face of terrifying circumstances, it seems.

Ah, and it seems that Sam has finally followed up the URL I (and probably others) sent him and discovered the tumblr. Very Happy

Bennywise: still hilarious.
White text on a black background: still makes my eyes cry (I highlighted it to ease the pain).
This blog: still awesome.

I love that the question of why we can read this story at all is the driving mystery behind it. It's so convoluted and yet works so well.

I asked him if he could do it when he's dazed, you know, during the time he's awake and doesn't remember it?
