Always good to see a new blog.

I'll check this out, thanks for posting the Trailhead.

Edit: I'm liking this.

The writing style is good, and the premise intrigues me.

He's also started off with the letter puzzles early on, as you said. Now, I fail hard at puzzles, but as a fellow blogger, I'll try to figure them out.

I also like his name: Knick Knack. I read an awesome comic adaption of Silent Hill 2 by an artist going by the very same name.

I will follow this blog, I'd like to see how it turns out.

His freakishly tall lawyer? Uhoh.

But yeah, this is a well-written blog that I'm definitely going to follow. Very Happy

Slender Man is a lawyer now? Oh dear....pretty sure that qualifies as nightmare fuel. XD

The mods have told you not to do that in your previous blog. DO NOT post in here EVER!

Oooh. Never gotten in at the beginning of a blog before. The colored letters and crossed out names make me wonder if the author is a fan of House of Leaves, and if that will bode well for the rest of the story.

Anyone working on the letter puzzles?

And:

Eldest: 2. Do not post in any thread about your own series, whether it be in character or out.

That means for any reason.

I shouldn't have ignored this blog. I'd seen some pretty good stuff from the writer before. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly fond of the last blog I saw from him, and the House of Leaves formatting personally turned me off a bit. But he's doing an amazing job of building up the tension and mystery, and he's using alien geometries in a subtle way. I'm also curious about his portrayal of Slendy. The lawyer seems like he's supposed to be Slendy, but he's apparently got a name? Not sure what's going on, but I'm interested.

I also like his subtle references. An Eldest son referred to as K, the hornets nest and the bag of marbles, Victor Svend, "Ol' Svendy...a lot of very subtle injokes.

Also, the blue words in each entry form a message. "This mansion is far different from the fools thought it" so far, for those among us who are a bit lazy.

I don't mean to dig up an old thread, but I just found this one and read through the blog. I assume it's over now? It was a fairly interesting little piece of work. For some reason, I decided to transcribe all the House of Leaves type formatting throughout. If you're interested in seeing it, I'll put it in a spoiler below (and it's a big long spoiler, beware!):
