Talk:Tips and Tricks on Writing Creepypasta's/@comment-28872629-20160628182009

Not sure if this page is still being viewed, but I have a question, a couple of questions actually. TL;DR I've been on this creepy pasta quest thanks to these awesome videos and I have an idea for a creepy pasta, but I'm a little trepedacious on doing one.

Q1 - for video game creepy pastas (VGCP), can gameplay be creepy or does it need to affect the player? Other than introduction on the nararator's part, most of the story is the gameplay. Is that alright?

Q2 - can the game be original, but based on a previous game? An example is finding a new Mario game that's based on, I dunno, Super Mario Bros 3, but called Super Mario Bros 4. Like that. Is that considered a cliche?

Q3 - I know that the whole 'I loved this game as a child' is a cliche, but what if it's needed to set up the story?

Q4 - Is it alright to create a story around the creepy pasta? My idea started as a CP, but the story got interesting and I'd actually like to write it out as such and not a CP.

Q5 - Can a VGCP be centered on a character? I know this answer is yes (like the Pokemon one about Nurse Joy? Is that her name?), but IIRC, these were more about how the nararator felt about them and not the character itself.

Thanks for the help!
