After posting that last comment, I realize I should probably rephrase. This pasta, specifically, I would say does qualify as a creepypasta. It was written such that the intent was to "creep out" the reader, and it was reasonably successful in doing so up until the very tail end. It just bothers me that the ending is what so many people rave about, when it's the one thing that diminished the "creepy" factor. That shouldn't be happening on a creepypasta site, whereon people review creepypastas. I'm not so much bothered by the fact that it won CPotM as I am by the fact that it's being praised for all the wrong things. For aspects that, granted, make for a nice and sweet story, but are detrimental to the atmosphere of a creepypasta.

As for nominations, I don't really read much in my downtime, or know of any recent submissions to the site besides my own (which I'm not allowed to nominate). Most of the pastas I've heard (or later read) have been YouTube readings. So, sadly, I'm not much help in the voting process.
