[DEAD BLOG] What Starts Happenin'
Either a parody or a very bad Slenderblog

http://whatstartshappenin.blogspot.com/

So.... yeah. Get past the god-awful layout and you'll have enough material to break out the Slenderman bingo card. I can see what the author is trying to do- building up the sense of being watched and followed slowly- but it just doesn't work. Particularly when you get to this post and the guy finds the classic paper full of slender-madness scribbled all over it in his school-bag.

I've always wondered about these protagonists finding random messages in their bags or their pockets- is Slenderman going around leaving them there as a prank? The idea sort of deflates the horror, in my opinion.

Oh, and check the comments, "DragonSovereign" appears to be part of the story. The quality of writing on his own blog is much better, which makes me suspect we're dealing with a Dreams In Darkness/ Watch This City Burn scenario. Maybe this will end up going somewhere interesting like that story did.

What's with all of the "I see you" stuff that second-rate blogs seem to use? Is that supposed to be spooky or something?

Yep. Once Marble Hornets did all the "SEES ME" stuff the other v/blogs followed suit.

One look at the font was enough to convince me I didn't want to read anymore. Shocked

Oh god, just read through that...somehow. I can see what he was trying to do, he just rushed it and his writing isn't honestly that good.He even just played the 'disappearing' card from Just Another Fool, something that DragonSovereign actually pointed out. I'm going to be honest though, I listened to you and checked the comments, and at times they were a right riot. If you look at that DragonSovereign guy's blog the same sort of thing happens, like in this bit.

Good idea on this maybe being a Dreams in Darkness type thing. I guess you can look at it as L being a foil to DragonSovereign, like DragonSovereign's trying to get his own character developed in that way. His blog's actually fairly well-written, but the problem is it seems like he's trying to be badass, which actually sort of detracts from it. All the same I'm going to be keeping an eye on it, from what I've seen so far it has legitimate potential to be a pretty good Slenderblog.
