Writing again.

About 6 or 7 months ago, I discovered the 'Slenderman' phenomenon. In the months since, I have gone all the way through 'Season 1' of Marble Hornets and I'm up to date following EverymanHYBRID. Now all I have to say is...looks fun, I want in.

Yeah, I started to write a Slenderman web series. I know, I know. I'm not trying to rip anyone off. I am just a huge fan of both series and the mythos of the character that were built on the Something Awful forums.

My main objective is to take small bits from both series and also the mythos from the forums, and create a 'Bible' of sorts for all things Slenderman. Basically compile as much as I can, as thouroughly as I can. Then, with that I will bring in and blend in my original ideas, making sure as to not contradict the established mythos. Will there be a few similarities, refrences or shout outs to the other series? Sure. But I'm not going to go through and lift things wholesale. (Although I am intrigued with finding away to film Troy's 'unfilmable' alternate Marble Hornets ending he mentioned)

So basically, what am I doing? Firstly, I am plotting out the story and the over arching plot of the series. I am also planning on exactly how in the hell would I make a Slenderman costume. I do have some exciting ideas for that. My main concern is the writing...

I am pretty decent at plotting. I also have been told I have a 'knack' for dialog. My main struggle is focusing my ideas into a cohesive, well paced narrative. For that, I hope I can get someone to help. I'll have to get in touch with some of my friends. I've always written better with a partner, hopefully that works out.

Wicky Wicky Wah- Wicky Wicky Wild Wild West.

Yeah, I relize I haven't written anything for a while. I'll probably write something this weekend. Sorry.

Also, who the hell am I appologizing to? No one reads this.
