  • This topic has been done or at least something similar-inklcuding your pervious storu on the SCP-Foundation. Your summary is pretty good and you did reply to students so good job overall.

  • Creepypasta has never really been something I've typically been interested in but it is cool to read about the background of all of the characters. I enjoy horror movies a lot but I have yet to read into characters like these ones.

  • I personally have not much of an idea of what I just read as I am not into internet horror. But, it seems like it could be very deep and weird. Especially since there are certain groups and stories with creepy names like a spire in the woods and the SCP- Foundation. 

  • Internet horror can be really fun sometimes, but at the same time super creepy. I have seen many of the stories about SCP - 682 the hard to destroy reptile and I think that the authors are having fun with it now. However on the SCP foundation website they have really wholesome stories which I believe that it is fun for this site to bring authors together.

    • 682 has become one of the most popular SCPs. One of the most wholesome SCPs is SCP-999 also known as tickle-monster.

  • So they all died? What in the World are SCPs? Why did they choose pasta for the other word?

    • Not all of the characters are dead such as Kagekao who is a demon that is alive. Why I chose to stick with Creepypasta is because that is how I am able to find the information.
