Oh, just to put my two cents in since I really don't want to read all those blogs at the same time and have my view of them colored...

-1 for NEFR with a vote for it to go into the Hall of Shame.

Well, I think I'll just continue down the list.

Musical Occurrences: +1
Pretty good from what I've read. The character occasionally annoys me (I really don't like emoticons), but at least he makes sure he's got good grammar, and even bothers to point out how chatspeak annoys him. On top of that, the character is believable, and I can really sympathize with all that stuff he does. I was busy as a sixteen-year-old as well. On top of the relateability, he's got good pacing, with just enough blatant foreshadowing to remind readers that it's a Slenderblog and keep it going until it hits the good (or rather, bad) stuff. I'm a little disappointed that he didn't foreshadow by reviewing The Outside Agents, though. Anyway, it manages to follow the footsteps of Just Another Fool pretty well without coming across as a ripoff.

Picking Up the Pieces: -1
I'm really kind of sad to cast the vote that pushes this into "Slanderblog," just because I do really like the concept. The delivery, however, just isn't intriguing. While it'd be possible to identify with a character who's lost his memory, his nonchalance towards the whole thing keeps me from doing so.

Hiking Fiend: +1
Like Musical Occurrences. Really good pacing, identifiable character, just enough foreshadowing to get you through the buildup. Site aesthetics are also quite pleasing.

SEESME: -1
Okay, so the idea is a good one. But again, executed poorly. It maybe could have been just a +0, but it's too annoying to read.

No escape from reality:

I'm unsure about this now, it was a horrible blog but not only did it get 'put down' but it had a half decent ending. It's still not earned a + from me, but I'd like to change my vote to a 0.

Basically as bad as it was i would say it managed to get some redemption.

I'm not sure if this one still counts as new, but I'd like to put in a +1 for Smiting The Gods. It has a pretty interesting plot and great writing, and I really like the protagonist and the way he's written. He's pretty much an Anti Hero with borderline Villain Protagonist touches, and I absolutely love it. I've never seen a protagonist like him, and I completely approve. He's managed to evoke a wide range of emotions in a way I haven't seen before in a Slenderblog. He's actually made me angry, in a good way. Just some great, great writing there.

Have to say, I'm surprised my blog got as popular as it did. Thanks for the votes, guys!

Glomple, I think we should have another thread just like this, but for the vlogs. (Aside of course from the big three) I'd be willing to start and maintain it if you don't mind me using your idea...

Sure! When you get around to making it, I'll remove the vlogs from this list.

In the meantime, moar voting please!

Bumping this up so I can see what more people think of the vlogs so I can use that to my advantage for my Slender super list of blogs and vlogs.

Can this be expanded to include already well established blogs, too? I'd like to see what people like and I'd like to reflect that in the list :3

Carry on. Razz
