Via Jonathan Wojcik and Rev Storm


   It is now time for the results of our seventh write-off! Like last year, we have a little over 260 stories for you to read, enough to last you all the way to next year if you spaced them out enough!

Organizing this whole thing has become a pretty major event for both of us, though Rev now does all the actual work not only receiving, editing and sorting your entries but reading every single one of them to me, out loud, while I drive us around at night. That's basically what wintertime now means for us, driving around in the Northwest's dark, rainy, freezing cold, towering forests while your stories are narrated one by one. We have eaten far too much junk food and probably lost a lot of sleep to get through that process, especially when over 50 entries came in only the final couple days - including several of the most MASSIVE! - but each and every single one of them was fun to get through and sincerely appreciated, even if we don't have enough money to give everybody a prize.

You may notice something different this year, or at least we certainly did. There are fewer entries this year that end on a merely "scary" note, but far more that opt for either a touching, optimistic conclusion or the extreme opposite. I swear some of the entries this year are the darkest, most brutal, sometimes most hopeless we've ever gotten alongside the exceptional influx of lighter and more humorous entries, so expect some unprecedented emotional whiplash if you choose to read enough of them, and beware that when I say "CONTENT WARNING" this year, we mean themes of abuse, assault, suicide and more. I suppose not many things feel scarier than the kind of world we're living in right now, and a lot of writers are eager to either vent their frustration or try to find a little brightness in life.




IMPORTANT STUFF:


- If you don't see your entry, it's an ERROR! I never exclude one without contacting the author about it first! Contact me if something is missing, and I'll try to draw special attention to it to compensate!

- Speaking of errors, some submissions were affected unpredictably by the transition from their author's computer to our submission form. We've done our best to correct all the oddities we've caught, but you may run into text walls, broken characters, stories with strange spacing issues and other inconsistencies. We will more easily catch and correct these if you inform us on THIS page (with the story titles and the errors in question!) rather than on the story comments themselves!

- If you were working on a story and didn't finish it in time, I want to see it anyway! I will even add late entries, if you're really just now finishing them up!

- If you need your story to be changed or removed, just ask! Like I said, some errors are inevitable! Authors have also been known to remove stories from the public archive so they can be submitted for publication in real books and magazines! Yeah, those still exist!

- "Creepypasta" does not mean "public domain." All of these stories are copyright their respective creators and may not be published (including youtube reads) for any kind of profit without their author's consent, so please get in touch with their respective owners if possible! Reposting these stories to a blog, wiki or forum is acceptable so long as you retain the correct author credit and links; everyone deserves recognition for their work!

- If you don't agree with the winners, that's fine! I aim to reward a diverse selection that can appeal to varying tastes and interests. Have a favorite story that didn't make the finalists, semifinalists or other special mention?

- PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS ON STORIES YOU READ! Authors love to hear what stood out to you about their work, and I love reading people's thoughts as well!

- DON'T BE RUDE! If you don't like a story, that's why there are plenty more for you to check out. If you don't like something specific about a story that truly feels important to discuss, please be respectful about it and remember that all of this is for fun.

- THESE ARE [LARGELY] HORROR STORIES! What gives one person an entertaining sense of dread can be more viscerally, personally disturbing and even entirely unfun for another; tread carefully if you're sensitive to certain topics, but don't feel bad, and don't shame or belittle anyone else for their limits. All humans have them!

- IF YOU WANTED TO WIN AND YOU DIDN'T, it doesn't mean you "weren't good" or "less good" or "failed" at anything! With hundreds of entries, it's flat-out impossible to put a special spotlight on every single one that deserves a special spotlight, and I'm happy to offer more detailed personal feedback or help promote your work if you just ask!

WINNING AUTHORS:


If your name is here, you can e-mail me for a custom t-shirt! Some sample designs are here, but feel free to ask for any artwork I've ever made! Even one of the creepypasta cookoff logos, if you want to show off! If you prefer it, you can also take the semifinalist prize of an enamel pin or a minifigure! (see below)



 Cornelius - by Allen Chew - Cornelius is something that can never, ever die, but he can still hurt, so it's a good thing mother is there to protect him. Even without the stylish illustrations, this would have earned its spot for its emotional ride. Fair warning for some of this year's darkest moments and heaviest gore.


 THE BEE KEEPER'S STORIES - The Bee Keeper wrote some excellent stories last year, and outdoes themselves this round with over a dozen entries, including the already previewed and hilariously weird Refusal of Service that we already previewed. Others range widely in length and feeling, including The Man Who Fed Eels, 'Tis the Season, Bug Nuts, Rottenfellers, When the Oceans Were Above Us, Collectors, Trawled Up, Dust, Horse Helps Owl, Grease Spoon, the City of Millenium, and finally, Way Too Spooky.


 CENTIPEDAL'S STORIES - Centipedal's Under the Bridge kind of instantly became one of our all-time favorite monster tales, and even if you aren't as big on the storytelling as we were, I don't think you're ever going to forget the monster in question. Centipedal also sent in An Arm and Some Legs, followed by An Arm and Some Legs, Redux: I Couldn’t Think of Anything Better to Name It, two exciting tales revolving around a secret organization that monitors the activities of anomalous entities, with more seemingly to come. Glow Out and Looped, finally, are another couple of creative monster encounters!


 Pig Night and Rust Belt by Spencer Farrington - we previewed Rust Belt, one of the most unsettling tales of the year, and the wildly different, unrelated Pig Night doesn't disappoint either.



 Rot World by Gene Ludwig - the bittersweet, open-ended and illustrated journal of a young child's adventures in a strange, decrepit realm.


 Lactarian by Shakara - the story of a boy who just wishes he was taller was our favorite of Shakara's stories, but The Baleful Agent is also excellent, with a clever and tragic final meaning. Don't miss other entries including Dark Winter, House Rules, Aufeis, and Bugaboo!


 Small Town Problems by Taxidermy Driver - A quaint little Irish town's bulletin board gets interesting. Increasingly, hilariously, very alarmingly interesting. The same author also submitted the more classically scary tale, The Things You See on Country Roads

  Top Ten Illegal Wrestling Moves by Thomas F. Johnson - A novel format for some dark unreality, with a clever final punch that takes full advantage of its framing device. Thomas also submitted Turbo Lovers, which manages to milk some surprisingly effective darkness from a patently absurd source of inspiration. Can you guess what that inspiration is?


 The worm. by Age - some existential, technological horror for you, and something that isn't even theoretically impossible. Some day...this could very well be you, or someone you know.


 Fulmination by Joseph Hartman - a devastating horror is unleashed by a source that's unexpected, to say the least. Hartman is also here for the already previewed Garbage Boy, and also submitted Accurst by the Sea!



SEMIFINALISTS:


While we're not made out of shirts, semifinalists this year can pick out any enamel pin or "Dr. Decay" minifigure from my etsy store. Just e-mail me with your shipping address, which story was yours, and which item you would like!



  Christendom by Saga - do you know someone named Chris? Almost everyone does! An eerie and cryptic piece of biblical weirdness. Saga also submitted Never Not There, an increasingly surreal take on being "stalked" by the same person.


  Darkedge by Gareth Barsby - a sad, strange and funny piece about a very dark, edgy villain. Gareth also submitted I Hate Snowmen, Henry's Haunted Halloween Page and The Big Emptiness After Death.


  The Worshiper's Statement by Duncan Skjaret - "weird cult" horror with a creative object of worship and an ending that feels like a good send-up of the genre.


  Amusement Park Employee no. 9488575 by Aceotaku - what are these things? What kind of "amusement park" was this? What happened to the world?! This feels like it could be a prelude to a great series, and so does the author's Red Killer Hood!


  Ned's Town by Inkstie - Ned is a good boy and he's doing a good job!!!


  Samsinater's Stories - united by a common thread, but all wildly different. Read them in whatever order you like, but I reccomend A Lesson in Arrogance first if you missed it as a preview post, then the sweetly eerie A Peaceful Eternity, followed by the bizarre monster story that is The Greatest Magician in the World and finally the more horrific and ultimately saddening It Stopped.


  The Distant Suburbs' Stories - again, no one of these stood out as the best, necessarily, but a solid set of entries that include The Tower, about a neural network's ideas of "art," Moose Lips about the new weirdest horror antagonist you'll have ever heard of, The Pancake Man about a child-eating bogey, Shower at 3 am about an awkward little situation, the already previewed Slippery Devils that brings a lighthearted attitude to a tantalizingly disturbing scenario, the hilariously warped ZOINK! and the gut-punching White Gold about the inhuman treatment of others during times of war.


  Finger Food by Donovan Caldwell - a 28 page tabletop campaign for the 5e system, with shades of The Thing and some truly inventive monsters!


  Morning Jaunt by Streicher Hennessy - you really won't see the final little twist to this coming, and surprisingly, it's not a specific twist I've ever seen done before. Hennessy also submitted the ghastly holiday tale, Up on a Rooftop!


  Curses by Saint Salt - an employee orientation at an asylum for the supernaturally cursed takes a pretty twisted turn. Saint Salt also submitted Aholic, inspired by recent events and sadly not far-fetched.


  Eldritch and its sequel, the The Eldritch Neighbor by Violia "ms" Fortune, a dose of mythical horror really brought together by the eccentric characterization of its overarching antagonist!


  Get Lich Quick by D. Sierra - both exactly what it sounds like and not at all. D. Sierra's The Damp and Marionette are much longer and less humorous than Get Lich Quick, but their pacing and atmosphere had me hanging on every single word.


  Senior Year Halloween Dance 2006 by Average Humanoid - you will never, WILL NEVER, by any stretch of the imagination, guess where this is going.


  Sam P's Stories - another case where each entry is excellent in very different ways. Virulent is a story of bio-engineering horror from the experiment's perspective, and A Summer Shanty is an entirely new, creatively modernized and much, much grimmer take on a renowned classic, with some unforgettable imagery.


  Shieldman's Stories - including the terrifying The Pilot, Summer at Fairhaven Lake, Anomalous Disease Log, A Curious Tiny Machine, The Passenger and The Participant! It's hard to say much about any of these four without spoiling what makes each as good as it is.


  We Are All Children of God and Masklophobia by Genny Doe - two imaginative, quality creature tales, different as night and day.


  Gozuforce's entries - a returning winner who submitted The Standing Stone this year, along with Sympathetic Craft and Confusing Apparition at my Apartment.


  The Goodest Dog by Åge - a strange new pet food has been flooding store shelves...where did it come from? And why do dogs seem to thrive so well on it??


  The Red Spire and The Terror at the Great Red Spire by Ellen "Space Lizard" Edwards - another returning winner from last year submits a compelling pair of glimpses into a hyper-distant future. Ellen also submitted several other hits this year, including List Click: Four Cryptids You've Never Heard of, The Old Howling House, or A Carol, Payphone, and the emotionally painful The Stalked.



SPECIAL MENTION:


Joy Traveler - A Novel by Glumdrop and The Hungry Reader - Literally, a novel, written for the cookoff over the course of more than three years. We received it only the night before finishing this archive, and therefore won't be able to finish reading it in time to give it a fair and proper winning spot, but the completion of it and its debut here is something special. If you read it through, you'll be going in as blind as I'll be. We're all going to be reading it together over the coming weeks!



RETURNING CHAMPIONS




New stories, sequels and continuations by finalists from previous years! While a few authors outdid themselves enough to become finalists and semifinalists all over again, everyone here has also met or exceeded the level of quality you can expect from past winners:


  Ephemeral Entity by Hisham Hasan - a unique ghost story already previewed early. Hisham also submitted more botanical horror this year in the form of The Banyan Skulker and Kick the Bucket, as well as Indie Game Testing and the fun little nautical Treasure Hunt!


  Shells by Nelke - considered for a winning spot, but we had a really tough time crunching those down this year! Shells is, fair warning, a horror story about the nature of child abuse. Nelke has submitted some of the most brutal, heart-wrenching stories we've ever had, and this is no different.


  Two Pink Lips by Dandelion Steph - a quasi-sequel to "Five Pink Fingers" from last year. Steph also sent in Mojie, Parasitoid, The Perils of Complimenting Australians, and Seeds in the Skin.


  The World of Carve: a Transcript of all the Intros and Outros by Brendan Cleary - just one big one by Cleary this year, with an exceptionally original format and imaginative characters. Is Carve really just some obscure, 1990's cartoon series that just a few people saw?


  When I Turned into a Mantis by Sam Miller - a sad little take on the Metamorphosis. Miller also continues The Boxes with Chip Dip and Worm Castle, as imaginative as you've likely come to expect from this loosely connected (or is it??) series, and finally Frozen Green.


  More Tales From the Old Country by Keetah Spacecat - A Fishing Trip, A Short Guide For City Slickers, and The Thing in the Cornfields expand on this winning series of rural weirdness!


  Nana by Cassie Heath - another of the year's darker, more melancholy entries.


  In the Dark by Rahkshasarani - is this another sad one, a funny one, or both?


  The Deadline Meeters by Jared Ludy - continuing Jared Ludy's track record for stories with a certain special kind of visceral dreadfulness I can't quite place, but don't get from a lot of other writers.


  An Hour's Reflection by Nausicaa Harris - a fantastic science fiction narrative rich with wildly inhuman characters and speculative alien culture!


  Blight by Huw Saunders - a tale of weird biological horror with a classic, pulpy feel and some juicy creature horror.


  The Gang by Lycandelphinid - one of the year's funniest. I feel like many of us have considered an interpretation like this. The same author submitted Alternate Universe!
