I've been noticing a lot of people who seem to think that Creepypasta is dying, while that is not entirely true, but I do agree that Creepypasta is most definitely not as popular when you try to compare to how it was back in 2007 - 2013.
Anyways… many seem to have the idea is that the reason for Creepypasta lacking any real interest nowadays is all because of what happened due to the Slender incident. No. It's not because of that. The reason is because of this: fans turning on each other and bashing each other… I mean, think about it, everywhere you look you'll find that we are constantly tearing each other apart! And it is utterly disappointing to see that our own ‘family’ is at each others throats, and for what? Over some petty misunderstandings and arguments about headcanons, shippings, or some other stupid sh*t? And it also kind of saddens me to see that this is what the fandom has become now, because this was the fandom that I had ever first heard of. I joined it in 2008, and it helped me cope with some things that were going on in my life at the time… long story short; Creepypastas have had a HUGE impact on me as a kid.
Now, you may be thinking - "Well, if you've believe that it's become so toxic, then why don't you just leave?" Because it seems that everytime I try to get away, I still find myself coming back to it... and almost for seemingly no reason. But I think it's mainly because I want to try to help it, and try to re-build the connection between (sane) Creepypasta fans. Which is also why I came here to this Wikia, and have been communicating through others with this account and have been trying to help out as best as I can.
… Though, lately I just feel that I'm not doing a good enough job or that people wouldn't care if I tried to help. I don't know what I'm doing, honestly.
