Also, don't explain the plot of your series here.


This. Don't get so excited and caught up in your plot that you come here and spoil it for everyone. If you did that, what would be the point in watching? Aside from obviously being a horror series, just about every work in the slenderverse revolves around mystery. Always keep a card up your sleeve, keep the audience guessing.

Some other words of advice before this gets locked up... it seems you've taken down the video, so I can't give a real critique and will base it on what's been said in here. It was mentioned that the Operator symbol comes up, and that you would be using it here and there. My word of advice (and from reading enough threads in my day, I can tell you I speak for quite a few) is don't use the Operator symbol at all. It's been established that the Marble Hornets mythos and the Slenderman mythos are two entirely different things. That's a symbol they've created, and at this point in time they are still the only people who truly know what it is. I realize many series outside of MH have incorporated it anyways, but be original! Don't feel the need to follow in their steps. Keep it interesting!

In that same train of thought, you mentioned a totheark-ish character. While this is more widely acceptable than using the Operator symbol, it's still someone we've grown painfully used to. MH has totheark, EverymanHYBRID has HABIT, Tribe Twelve has The Observor... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Try to break out of the routine we've come to expect from these things. Don't be afraid to experiment, originality is going to become key in these new series that are popping up. Nobody wants to watch something they've seen a dozen other series do.

Hopefully you'll consider what I've put here. I hate to pick apart your plot, but figure that as a viewer you'll be able to appreciate the viewpoint a bit. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to what you have planned for us. Have fun!

 		You need to do some reading, while you're at it, MaskyWantsCookies.

The Terms of Service and two of the stickied threads at the top of the forum clearly state that you are not to post about your series in any context on these forums until the series is over.

I'll be locking this thread up now. If you want word to spread, you can PM another user to post up the link to it for you. Just don't do it yourself, and don't post in any thread about your series.

Best of luck.

The John Ross Diaries
Just saw this pop up in my subscriptions, the first video in a new series located here.

Not too much to go off of yet, it looks like we're jumping right into the strangeness which could be a good or bad thing depending on how you prefer it.

It reminds me a lot of Tribe Twelve and EMH already.

I was going to say Marble Hornets. Very derivative (but then so was TT at the start). Hell, I think the last line of the video was even a direct quote of the first MH video. Not seeing the EMH comparison. Nor am I sure why you thought your post needed a spoiler box.

I want people to make their own decisions. If people say that new vlogs are like MH and TT they will most likely not watch the video/series. They will completely bash the series/ video before they even watch it. People don't want new series ripping off the old ones. This fact has been proven more than once.

 		Can't believe no one posted this yet, but there has been 2 updates to this series since yesterday. Needless to say, I'm a little confused, but I guess these are the past footage of his trail videos he talked about in the first video? Don't exactly understand the point to posting the third video, it doesn't really provide us with any information, and there's nothing shown on the video except that he doesn't have service on his phone or whatever.
