 		[DEAD SERIES] ItisAfterHours
A few months ago I gained a new follower on Tumblr(made it to follow Canyouseethewords and some other people, but I rarely use it).

http://itisafterhours.tumblr.com/

I gave it a look through and didn't think much of it at first. It seemed like just the blog of a 15 year old boy, but it did start to get a bit strange, at the time. It seems our young friend had discovered the Slender man mythos and it was starting to go to his head.

Then the first video was posted. It led me to this youtube account:

http://www.youtube.com/user/ItIsAfterHours

And it got weirder.

Updates were few and far between and I never really thought of it as a Slender man series, until the newest video.

It seems someone found out about his paranoia and is having some fun with it.(But that's just my theory)

Thoughts?

 		I'm pretty much burned out on all new Slenderman video stories, but I am giggling my ass off at the inclusion of Bionicles in the newest video. Those things were the shit back when I was a kid! Too bad they cancelled the line...Sad

 		Not terrible, but suffers from the fault of most young things (people, writers, video-makers) in taking far too long to say too little. Omit needless words, friends. Delete needless seconds.

What you "say" doesn't have to be plot, either. I'm happy with character development, too. (EverymanHYBRID is my favorite of the big three mainly for this reason.) I read through the tumblr and watched the videos and still have no idea of who these people are and why I should care about them. For a vlog on these forums made by high school students, I prefer Angel's Game (where I also got my fill of watching feet being filmed, kthnx.)

I'll come back to this if it seems to go somewhere, though. The Pokemon video was cute, if slightly cringey. Typical high schooler thing to do, and I liked it.

Yea, it certainly needs more character development but it once it gets to that level I think it may have potential for a fun little series.

 		After Hours is ending (*begin everyone crying sadface*)
loljk no one cries
(I'm allowed to post this, right? I hope so)

So, yeah. I've realised that I've run into some problems, one of which being not having a plot to work off of. While the whole story being made up on the fly was fun, it did kind of take away from other things like character development and, well, a PLOT.

So, I'm effectively ending After Hours and it's tiny sideblog. Weeeeell, kinda.

Me and Madison are still going to use them for actual blogging purposes, so you can keep following that if you want. However, we're also going to actually sit down and come up with actual plot and work more on the things we could've done better. Thanks to all of you few who actually kept up with us, it means we did at least something right! Very Happy

In case anyone wants to do a little Q&A thing or whatnot for this (I mean, there isn't really much to question, but w/e), then we can go right ahead.
EDIT: I feel bad for taking away from the big updates just to post this tiny thing ;-;

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

I just thought this referred to, say, something like TheDreamingRoom where they kept trying to say "oh we're working on that" or whatever. I thought this would be a different situation because I was ending the series. I was informed something like this would be acceptable.

 		I've been told directly by ChildofAtom that we ARE allowed to post in our story's thread once the series is finished, so go right ahead and post away, just don't expect a lot of actual helpful or constructive replies.

I approve of this plan. More vloggers should do this.
:thumbsup: ;D

Thanks! To be honest, I just kind of jumped headfirst into this without a plot, characters, any of that stuff, and just picked up people to be part of it as I went along, sort of like The Angel's Game. And, as this did scenario did work for some (TAG and TJ-Amy), it obviously wasn't going to work for us.

Also, 42. (I'm getting the right reference, right? Beeblebrox is Hitchhiker's Guide? It's been a while since I've read it :/)
