Re: Critics wanted for Slenderblog concept

[N Spencer]

the motivation is an interesting one.

Slendy knows there's someone there, but doesn't know why he can't sense/see them, and is taking his frustration out on their family in the hopes it will reveal them. Hence, She is brought deeper into her situation simply because she wants the carnage to stop.

I, for one, like it. You need to be careful with how you're going to work that angle though, imho.

I have an idea... if the character is anything like myself, then the very idea of Slender Man makes them want to know more about it, even more so the fact that slender man seems too ignore them.

If something like that was happening to me (I'm pretty much pitching my idea that I scrapped) I would become obsessed with wanting the answers, which would indeed put me in constant contact with Slenderman. Even endangering the lives of those he was stalking because..... how am I suppose to understand him if I don't witness what he does.. how he does it, why he does it.

I can't understand him, if I can't see through his metaphorical eyes.

Just reading this thread made me want to write some dribbledrabble about it. Curse you people, curse you.

So~ I think I'm actually going to go through with this. The comments and thoughts and such you've been throwing me have been fascinating, and a huge help, thank you so much! I'd love to keep hearing stuff, since it's going to be a while before anything is actually posted. I'm going to start developing the character, her personality, history, etc. I already have an idea as to what she'll be like, I was thinking of her as something of a tomboy, a girl who is 'one of the guys'. Also, plot. That's kind of important, wouldn't you say?

So I'll start working on that, but as I think I said before, I'd like someone to beta for me. Someone who could check the writing, make sure it sounds right (y'know, stuff like the writing making her actually sound scared should the situation call for it), bounce ideas off of, tell me when I'm heading into Mary Sue-dom or cliché-land, that sort of thing. A person who would also be willing to give me a kick-in-the-pants would be helpful as well, since I admittedly have a habit of dropping off the radar sometimes.

Compulsory Basket, if you're still interested in beta-ing, I'd love the help! If you'd like, feel free to PM me or whatnot. This will be my first online project/story blog/whatever you'd call it, especially working with someone else over the 'Net, so Advanced Warning: I will probably say or do multiple ridiculous things (apologies in advance).

If anyone is interested in collaborating, maybe running a connected blog, or just helping with the story, feel free to ask. This is all new to me, something of an adventure or an experiment, so I'm pretty open about this.

Thanks again, everyone! You really are awesome!

I'll beta for you. If you didn't already have solid ideas for how you want the blog to run I'd also act as a potential creative contributor but more than happy to beta for you. I want to be involved in a blog beyond playing along.

Cosmo, should you need further help feel free to contact me.

JUST ONE THING I THOUGHT OF!
(All caps gets all attention)
Anyway, if you're going with the 'Only visible when she interferes' you have to make show how in some kind of way Slendy seems surprised. Like he stops what he's doing for a split second and looks dead at her, and carries on a little slower. And the eventual sanity decay would also have to be slower. Or faster, but of a non-Slendy related kind and more of a guilt kind. Just saying. Oh, and look up some character-development tutorials on Google if you're worried about her becoming a Mary-Sue. (Helps me all the time.)
