That is just great.


OT for a moment, but, dude, not funny. I have friends who are self-harming and was suicidal for a good chunk of time. That is not something to joke about.[/i]


I was self-harming and suicidal for a good chunk of time when I was younger, but I still think carving a smiley face onto your skin due to depression is funny, in a twisted, ironic way.

On topic, is it strange that I didn't find that much wrong with Outcast beyond the lack of use of the shift key at all times? (Which is annoying, but I know some girls close to the author's age, and yes, they really do type like that. So you could call it realism? Dunno )
The faces thing is a dead giveaway if you're looking for Slendy in the blog, layout is kinda boring, and writing isn't experienced, but it's no No Escape From Reality. Still, it's only two posts long, which doesn't give me much to go on complaining about. Yet. Razz

For God's sakes you have to put the Mr. Smalls Youtube vlog as the first entry in the Hall of Shame. It was the 2nd slendy vlog ever(after MH) and it even went as far as to call its main character Alex and use one of TTA's videos. If some of you guys have been around awhile and you saw how bad it was...you'd understand.

I was thinking they were the ones making a joke about it. Uhh, the "=)"?

If this is a voting for blogs, why is Josh's Youtube up there?
Don't quite understand that bit, but I'll read through all the blogs later and post some votes.

For originalaliendude(and his subchannels which are getting better): +1(If the positive voting means it's not terrible)

Don't really think the voting thing is really a fair system, though. :/ Some of these look like they're just starting out.

I was there. I was the one that reported the ToTheArk thievery.

Added some new (better, imo) rules. Also, thanks for reminding me to put SEESME up there. If you want any blogs on this list, just tell me!

I'll be casting my own votes in a sec. Very Happy

Well my old votes will remain unchanged, but here's the two new ones.

Outcast -1
There's a definite possibility it's a Slenderblog, but the grammar is appalling, to say the least.

Seesme -1
Chat transcripts drive me up the wall trying to decipher.

I've only seen a few of these, so I'll just cast my votes for those.

No escape from reality: -1

I'm sorry, I just don't like it. It's really game jack-y in the first parts. There's the Rake, Candle Cove, the ARK, Jessa, I kinda chuckled about the $20 theft, but other than that, really hard to enjo at the beginning. I think there could've been potential with the whole "Yeah, guys, I'm wifin'" thing (just like with Breaker), but nope. If they had maybe waited a little longer and Danny started using the blog as if it was his normal blog for a while, his disappearance (can you say Just Another Fool) may have come off as something other than poor immitation. There was potential, it was just wasted.

The original alien dude: +1

He has a tricorn. End of story.
Nah, but seriously. While Austin's videos were very....blegh, and his GASP MYSTERIOUS BAG OF BUTTONS sucked, I like the main story. It's weird that Austin's acting is better on Josh's channel than on his own, but whatever. I'm really enjoying the intricacy of the Angel's Game thing, with the Watchers and the Ark and all that. Yeah the Ark thing feels ripped off, but it's actually done kinda will here compared to in No Escape from Reality.

Hiking Fiend: +1

I really like this one. It is pulled off very well, especially considering it's taking the route of agressive!Slendy. I also like the whole angle of the local legend and everything. It's really cool. The new name "The Wicked Gentleman," the photography (which is well done might I add)... It's actually become one of my favorite blogs so far, and defenitely my favorite straight-up aggressive Slender Man blog.

The others I've yet to check out, but when/if I do, I'll edit this post with my votes.

So this guy thinks that a YouTube PM to my Slendervlog saying "FOUNDYOU" and a link to his latest vid is a good way to advertise. Let's throw the "DarkHarvest00" vlog up there up there: http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkHarvest00

Ok, I am adding in some of the lesser-know vlogs. Updated the list, added my own votes. You can suggest other blogs/vlogs to be on the list too! Very Happy

...Forgot I was a guest. Anyway, I forgot about SEESME.

SEESME: +1
I don't know what it is about it. I like that it's really subtle about everything (other than, of course, the glaringly obvious thing in the title). It's an interesting format, I must say. Don't think I've seen any others that use chatlogs to tell the story. Yeah, sometimes it is a little bit hard to read, what with chatspeak and all, but it's a very subtle and so far well pulled off series.

I also happen to love that BennyWise dude.

Added your votes. How about some discussion, guize? Very Happy

Why is Hiking Fiend so well-liked? Why aren't the others as good? etc.

For me, I like Hiking Fiend because of in-your-face tentacle Slendy.

Maybe Hiking Fiend is well liked because Slendy is so out and out aggressive, and the newer posts are putting him in the back seat in favor of the narrators personal problems?

That, and it's breaking convention.
