New Creepu Castu: "I Clean Hoarder Houses For A Living".

No clue about what this story is about yet (or if it's good or not) but I think a farmer would be able to appreciate the theme since so many lolcows are hoarders too.
As an aside, I'm glad we're back to static backgrounds. I'm sure their CG team is relieved at not having to whip up animations for the shitty stories (like Church in the Woods) as well.

Edit: 40 minutes in and this story is incomprehensible dogshit. I hope they start ripping into it.

Two thoughts:
1) That is the absolute funniest I think Meat has ever been. I have my problems with the guy, but when he's on, he's ON. The clown stuff - my God.
2) That sound board (or at least the people adding sound effects in post) are anti-comedy ass cancer. Holy shit, it's bad, overly loud, and added at the worst times. Meat making slide whistle sound effects with his mouth? Perfect. A loud slide whistle sound hammered in after Meat has made his slide whistle sound? Ass cancer.

Oh, and Wendigoon managed to mispronounce "fetid," which he really shouldn't be capable of given his career path.
 
I think they're right that the story needed more space to flesh out its ideas. The stuff about the painting and the draw of the other world, as well as the ending, felt pretty good, but the late-mid-story exposition dump was extremely jarring.
 
This story has strong high school creative writing energy. The prose is that kind of tryhard-y at times, flowery and intricate, and often in contrast to the story's stated tone. And like something you'd write in high school, the plot is a complete shitshow from start to finish. I feel like I got whiplash just from reading this damn thing.

The opening was pretty visceral, but once it got to the Narnia portal, that's when the cracks started appearing. You could take a whole story about some company discovering some alien world and their attempts to explore and monopolize it, and make it work—I mean, Kane Pixels managed to do that same story and look where it got him. There was potential, even if it seemed we were pushing towards fantasy and not horror. But with each new part instead what we got was earth-shattering revelation after earth-shattering revelation, and you barely have a moment to let it sink in, or even process what's happening, before the plot moves on to the next beat.

Hunter is right, it should have been a novel. I'd even go further: the only way the story can consolidate its two halves is through a novel-length work. The worm doppelgangers and the portal world stuff, and even the cia child abuse program can all coexist, but you need to establish some kind of foundation for us to ground ourselves to—mentally and emotionally—before you start shaking things up. But... I guess the author didn't have the patience for all that, and instead we're left with the rough outline for a much more interesting story that is never to be.

Also, the protagonist, once again, read more like a woman than a man. They're described as short, hobbit short, and wimpy as hell. I don't understand why the author just didn't stick to writing a woman instead.

It's one of the reading experiences of all time. This is a very mild page. Some are at weird angles, some are printed backwards, there's pages written in braille and musical notation. There's multiple stories running concurrently, and by that I don't mean there's stories being woven together so that they can all come together in a satisfying way at the end, I mean there's multiple independent stories by different authors (within the context of the book) slapped onto the pages at random with multiple pages/chapters between paragraphs for a given story. It's not something you can really just sit down and relax and read, it's a very involved experience, you're going to be flipping the book around, going to the bathroom to hold the book up to the mirror, translating braille and musical notation. You'll probably want to take notes to try and make sense of the different stories going on. I think it's probably awesome but I haven't been able to get through it, it requires a certain mood and it's been a long time since I've been in the right mood to make progress

I'm planning on reading this on my work breaks
I'm sure that's how the author envisioned it, siting in a shitty chair while the Indian guy stinks up the place with his lunch

This might be more correct than you realized. One of the 'authors' is a blind guy who sealed his apartment shut so as to seal in his stank because smell was the only one of his senses that he felt he could trust while he was writing his story. (first 20 pages or so spoilers)
 
I don't check for a couple of weeks and we got a pregnancy announcement. What was my bet again?

A'ight place your bets on when Wendi Jr. will be born. I'm gonna say summer 2025 if they don't believe in using contraceptives.

FUCK, they announced it this summer, but the babe won't be born until winter (likely start of next year). Aw well.

But legit, it was totally gonna be within a couple years. Also slaaaaay Kayla on the social media mom groups, like holy hell they're just full of compulsive retards and I don't think it's because of the pregnancy hormones.

I finished it a week or two ago. I had mixed feelings. There are portions that are genuinely incredible and made me uneasy despite having seen the type of horror in the book being done before...and then there's parts that made me want to DNF and just read something else

Is this the serial killer pony one?
That one was a goldmine of cringe.

Yeah, I've heard of it but I don't think I know anything about it besides killer pony, I'm hoping for something Jeff the Killer tier. They were going over the info page for the story and apparently the most famous version of the story is a rewrite whereas they're going over the original. So that doesn't really mean anything to me but for anyone familiar with it it might be different than they remember

I do vaguely remember a series of animations with a killer pony with a murder shed but I don't think it's related to this. Actually, found them pretty easily, only one was about the shed but it was a series with a parody of each of the main characters. Hotdiggedydemon was the animator

Oh wait I can just embed instead of a pic of the thumbnail lol

The story had a pelt made of pony marks it was sooo fucking autistic.
 
Peak episode, I’m honestly in disbelief that Hunter doesn’t know shit about either MLP or Cupcakes. I was breaking down laughing at his constant screaming.
Either way, damn bro I remember when Cupcakes was big, how it started the grimdark obsession of the Bronies, all the fanfics of Cupcakes itself, truly one of the most influential pieces of literature in modern memory.
