[TRAILHEAD] ProjectNewWorld

First off, hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, but I've been lurking around for a little while. I look forward to staying here for a while and getting to know some of you more.

Anyway, I found this Slender Man vlog while surfing YouTube. It's actually very interesting, and the concept is pretty original in quite a few ways. I'm rather enjoying it quite a bit.

Hmmm. Interesting. wonder why the channel is named what it is, though.

EDIT: Disregard the earlier rambling stuff, just me being once bitten twice shy sort of thing. After rewatching, it actually seems pretty decent. Not really notable so far, but I like the distortion, both audio and video. And the SM seems pretty sound. I'm still unsure what the real plot is going to be, not much of a hook, just "oh, hey, footage yay." Meh. It's not bad, but it's not amazing. :]


The characters all bug the shit out of me though, tbh. The kind that are kind of fun to have and hang out with but watching others act the same way is just annoying.

You found videos in your camera's SD card instead of music?! Shocked WOAH!

Let me just address a little pet-peeve here. If someone has the time and patience to make a Slender-Vlog, then they really ought to pay attention to spelling and grammar. While this is far from as bad as some, the non-capitalization of "i" and general lack of capitalization and punctuation is just really off putting and takes me out of it.

That being said, their Slendy isn't half bad. In Journal 1 - Streetlights, he actually came across as really creepy, evoking some of the older pictures from somethingawful.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Are you drunk? You need help, bro?" - best thing ever said to Slender Man in anything.

The grammar and spelling really doesn't bother me at all. If anything, it somewhat adds character.

It just seems to me that if you were being followed by a faceless entity, you'd want to seem as credible as possible. At the very least, I've seen a lot worse when it comes to grammar in a Slender-Vlog, but I just think it would be better if they used some capitalization and punctuation. That's the last I'll say on the subject.

Hey guys! Simon of ProjectNewWorld here.
(My name isn't actually Simon, but this username is too good to pass up)

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for spreading the word! I wondered why our video views/subscribers jumped up so high today... I guess this is why! Thank you!

Also, It's good to see that the reaction is generally positive.
However, I can see why the grammar, and our personalities may be a bit of a turn-off. The bad grammar was an attempt to personify Simon, as other characters will have other typing styles in order to personify them.

As for the obnoxious personalities... well that's just kind of us being friends and being jerks to each other. Like you said, better to be a part of, horrid to watch Razz

I hope we can continue to improve, and you'll all stick with us for the ride!

Oh, also, if you want to know more about the plot, you can probably get a good idea of it from the Project-New-World tumblr (http://project-new-world.tumblr.com/)
The Wicked Seven is currently over the tumblr and taking asks, so if you want to know anything, read the asks, or ask one yourself!
(There will be a video recap of the asks later)

Welcome to Unfiction, Simon (haha!).

Just so you know, creators of series posting in their own thread is frowned upon here, so you shouldn't post again on this thread. Please look to this for future reference. I learned this the same way you did, so don't feel too bad.
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32656

That being said, we're happy to have you. I'm sorry for the bitching. It's kind of what we do here when we see something that doesn't grab us by the first video (not often, but sometimes.)

Just thought I'd let you know before the wolves (aka moderators) get to you.

I honestly can't wait for a new update. There's just something about this series that's gripping my interest. It's something of a mix of the plot, characters, effects, and the Slender Man.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So it seems that Simon doesn't know he's missing. (?)

From the looks of it, something big happened between Journal 14-22, possibly a form of amnesia? I mean, I'm sure someone, especially Alex, would have found out about Simon's whereabouts by now. Unless this video was from some time in the past.

Wait. I just had a theory. What if this is the whole thing happening again? Like how at the beginning, Simon didn't remember Alex and Grey. What if these were the events that happened before Simon lost his memory when the channel was started? Maybe this is some sort of endless cycle. Just a thought I had.

Holy hell.



That's a vibe I was getting earlier, too, but I didn't think much of it.

I thought of it because when I was first watching the series, I got this feeling that there were these people somewhere in the world that he knew, but at the same time he didn't know them. Now that this happened, I'm starting to think that they are slowly losing memory of him, and they still know him, but they don't. I'm also wondering if there will be a continuation of this on another YouTube channel, with the same type of events occurring.
