There are plenty of other awesome blogs and vlogs other than those!

Also my choice for director (other than Guillermo del Toro) is Darren Aronofsky!

Will things change? Absolutely. MH is like the father of the genre. You can't take that away and expect everything to just go about as if it never happened. But then again. Think about what kind of fan-service the guys REALLY put out there. And then how stuck up they are. That would kind of make them a 'dead-beat dad' wouldn't it? And after spending so much of our lives on their series waiting for those unpaid child support checks. All I can say is, that finale they're holding on to had BETTER be worth the years of ignoring us.

Now for TT. Adam. We know him. We love him. But he never MEANT for the series to go this long. He wanted to end it once already. Having seen him around and had the chance to watch and listen to him with his fans, he definitely seems more worthy of the attention. Like the cool uncle. As for the series itself. I do hope he has something special planned for us. With all these talks of journals and whatnot other little teasing spoilers he's been throwing us lately, he seems to. Lumine has even been poking and prodding at something special with his series. A crossover? Could THAT be the finale? A passing of the torch? Ah, but away from speculation, as that's not what this is for.

The fact is regardless of who YOUR top three are, I do think it is rather hard to ignore EMH. Starting off as a 'fitness guru' channel and then -surprise-! A nice catch guys. Not just another journal vlog. But as the series went on, it became more apparrent that if TT is the cool uncle, EMH is the drunk one. I'm not saying the storyline is BAD. The guys, from what I hear though, are kind of falling appart as a group when it comes to this finale. The dirrection that they took the mythos did expand upon it. And for that I do commend them. Regardless of what happens with this series, I think it is something that we can all tip our hats to.

As for life AFTER those three. Lets not lie. There ARE series out there that in the wake of the 'cataclysm' are picking up the slack, so to speak. A big hint guys. Fan service. Talk with the people you're marketing to. It DOES help. Shocker. Because of them making themselves available to their fans. I've become familiar with a number of series that I never would have known existed otherwise. CloverInChicago. TheTulpaEffect. Even some series that are in the WORKS. Trick'd. And Meredeth's series--whatever she decides to call it. And if it weren't for Adam's recognition of his own fans, I'd never have known of HIS series either.

If the genre is going to survive. It falls on US to see that it does. Daddy's gone. And your uncles aren't going to protect you from the big bad faceless man any longer.

^ as a reply, although stuck up isn't really the best way to describe them, they are sort of...distant...

I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say that they do more to interface with the fans than any other creator, because they don't. Adam from TT and the guys from EVH are my friends on facebook, and Noah appears almost every night on the tinychat for slenderfans and slendercreators.

Well, the creators of MH do tweet and I believe Troy has a blog in which he answers direct questions. They also have attended a con or two and given a few lectures.

But I really don't even know why people think constantly connecting with the fans is necessary at all...

Outside of the fan interaction inside the game storyline, I really don't care one way or another.

I imagine it's nice to talk to the creators, but to hold it against them if they don't seek out their fans directly on facebook, etc?

The difference here is that the MH boys distance themselves from their project. Troy is not Jay. Joseph is not Alex. Tim is not Tim (well, okay, he is, but you get the point). They're interacting with their friends and posting about their project, yes, but they don't let the project define them. It's a sort of "hey, we think you're all cool, and we want you guys to think of us as cool people, and we're doing all this for your guys' entertainment, but we respectfully refuse to get to know you all personally" attitude. It's the difference between keeping themselves apart from their friends and casually chatting with them.

Anyway, after the "big three" are over, I'm thinking that it'll start dying off more, especially after Dark Harvest and The Andersen Journals are over, since the mythos has changed a lot. There's oversaturation, and nothing's really rising above the others (other than those five, plus TJA (which has ended)). Only the bloggers really care about the blogs now, and only a small group of people care about the vlogs past those three (and an even smaller group past those five).

I give the mythos two years before it either dies off or goes mainstream.
