 		[ABANDONED SERIES] Jason Thorne's Journey/Twisted Anangu
Found this just now from the Youtube video being recommended for me.
So.. yes, new blog/vlog combo I just found. Saw this "hello.avi" video in my "recommended for you" section just now (probably because I've been going on slendy vlog binges lately), and it links to a blog page. I've had a bit of a read and its really new. The blog seems well written, if crazy. The vid, however, looks like just another TTA ripoff.

Video:


YouTube: Link

Blog:
http://twistedanangu.blogspot.com/

Also, something kinda weird because most people start out sane and end up crazy, this guy seems to be crazy from square one.
He even comments on his own posts, talking to himself, kinda creepy.

Iunno, definatly looks to be a slendy thing, going on the video, so yes. Enjoy I suppose, and discuss, even though theres not much to really talk about here.

Also, hah! I found a slendy blog/vlog this time! (this is kind of an achievement for me, never been the first to find one of these before.)

 		Eh... it feels like a gamejack to me. Using the (X) kinda gives it that feel to me.

 		TribeTwelve also used that symbol, and it wasn't a Gamejack. Still, using that symbol annoys me, because It's a symbol of Marble Hornet's "The Operator", not the Slender Man.

 		actually, I've seen the operator symbol in pretty much every single vlog and blog out there, it seems to be as much a part of the Slenderman mythos as anything these days.

Reading through the blog it doesn't really seem like a gamejack either, no references made to any other side stories yet so I'm thinking this is it's own thing.

Second vid has been posted by the way, called "countdown.avi" with an accompaning post.

This is already ripping off TT and MH. Also, there is no story. Not looking into this one. Confused

How can you gather that from three posts and two videos? all of which batshit crazy as ever? Sure, the vids don't seem too original, but point out to me any of the "crazy side-character" videos out there that are.

If anything, this is the first side story I've seen where the narrator or whatever starts out insane as opposed to "ok guys I tottaly heard some freaky noises last night!"

No need to get snarky about it, I havn't been keeping track of every second blog or vlog that pops up, no, but all the popular ones - MH, emH, TT, etc... they all start out with a sane guy getting stalked by slendy and eventually going nuts. Same goes for every blog I have read, which is a few. I've not seen one vlog or blog where the main character starts out insane, they probably exist, but I just havn't seen em'.

Hadn't seen that one, and fair enough I suppose. But I hardly see how one Vlog is "many"

Regardless, I'd rather not get into a fight about something this trivial. Honestly I'm going to stick with this one. If it turns out to be another gamejacking ripoff then so be it, if not, well, who knows, might have discovered something nice and unique. Will just have to wait and see. I just feel it's a bit harsh to deem a series nothing but a rip off based on two cryptic videos and three rambling blog posts is all.

I'll agree with Feltorn here. It's kind of difficult to pass judgement on any of these stories/args for not being totally original considering they are ALL borrowing from an idea created by someone else in the first place. Seems kinda hypocritical to me. We should be thankful that there are any to begin with.
