( No Title )
god damn it do I have to get back into the creepypasta fandom again?
somebody give me a primer of what I’ve missed in the last 10 years.
Can’t tell you what’s happened in the last ten years in the fandom, but if you are coming back pls lmk because I am so lonely over here I need more proship Creepypasta friends to share my unhinged hcs with-
I was mostly into Slenderman (esspecially marble hornets and everymanhybrid), SCP, Ben Drowned back in the day as well as general creepypasta writing.
I feel like in the meantime some kind of big metauniverse has been built up in fandom?
Well sort of yes & also, kinda no?
The rise of the Mansion AU, very popular ask blogs, and fandom congregation has lead to the development of very prominent Fanon.
It was kind of like a game of telephone, as these things do often play out.
What started as inside jokes & one off memes, soon made their way into fandom proper & new people who had no idea these were jokes took them at face value & added this to their canon, & then they are passed on & on until suddenly no one has any idea where it all came from, it’s just there, & if you go against the established norms of the fandom some people get very very upset.
My advice is, ignore that. None of it matters. The meta canon of the fanon verse is all bullshit. & don’t go within 30,000 feet of the fandom proper if don’t want to engage with the fanon, especially as being behind on fanon is wild- because the things going on at the moment mind boggling-
If you really do want a run down of the general fanon + fandom drama that has happened in the last few years tho I can offer you a summary based entirely on my own memory of all prior incidents from about the last 7-ish years yo the best of my abilities!
Can you give me a rundown of what’s happened? I really need to get back into general creepypasta
I am always up for fandom history storytime, too.
I’ll probably disregard all of this with my own creepypasta fan stuff but I wanna know the fandom lore. 😂 @problem-shipper-backup
