A Brief Introduction
You can call me Blank for now, maybe I’ll think of something more interesting later. Once you get off the beaten path, names aren’t as important. Before we get started, tell me, what are you looking for, even if it’s just creepypasta and links to the Holders series? What appetite led you out this way? Maybe you don’t know yourself.
I can appreciate that. I had never considered blogging until I received an e-mail from Mr. Welldone asking me to keep an eye on things while he is away. An unusual request, to say the least. It’s not the strangest thing I’ve ever been asked to do, and I have a thing for the strange, so I tenatively agreed. And now you know a little of why I am here. Not much, but enough for now. Now I ask, why are you here? Not the usual answer, please. I really want to know. Few can identify what they truly seek, though it reflects in every thought and choice they make. And now, it has brought you here. So, will you brush the question off, or take an opportunity to look a little deeper? I’m very curious.

Oh. I wonder what he is up to? Bloodletting, perhaps? Or maybe you are him? Or a part of the whole?
Well, I am on here for my own pleasure. I procrastinate all the time and I need something to distract me. Mostly I stay on Creepypasta.com though. I am looking, looking for answers and questions and understanding, but not here. Not here.

Oh, you know, just a nugget of Ultimate Truth every once in a while, maybe a hint, here and there, of a reality just a bit more interesting and with more purpose than the one I’m typically exposed to; you know, the reason people see action movies, or find religion. Pretty much the usual–escapism and all that.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask a couple questions of my own: Why are you here? How did you get far enough onto Mr. W’s good side to wind up as his successor? Lastly, which pair of sex chromosomes have you got knocking about in your cells’ nuclei? I was wondering which pronoun I’ll need to refer to you with.

I more or less agree with Meursault. I first began to delve into the occult to find an answer to something I experienced personally, but nothing matched what I saw. This search soon brought me to creepypasta and has since devolved into a way to kill time as opposed to doing homework. Anyways, congrats on your stewardship of this blog.

Meursault: Honestly, I don’t know what he’s up to. It could be bloodletting. For all I know, it could be bowling, but the idea of Mr. Welldone in rented shoes seems a bit unlikely.
TLB: I am here, because my path led me here. As far as why I was chosen? I would like to think it was due to my boyish good looks and charming personality, but somehow I doubt it. You seek hints that will lead deeper into understanding your reality, and escape from it, simultaneously? Interesting.
Noone: Thank you. What kind of answer would you be willing to accept?

Poor Nukey is so disappointed that he didn’t get picked, he spent the night drawing bloody pentagrams on his floor and piercing raven feathers along his shoulder blades as though he were trying to become some sort of birdman.
I’m certain that isn’t his intent or anything, but it was interesting to watch, never the less.
Another one of his odd tantrums…
November 18, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Hello, Blank.
Should you need a guide while Welldone is away, I shall be more than happy to oblige. He and I have been in correspondence for some time and have reached something of an understanding.
November 18, 2008 at 2:19 PM
I guess I’m hoping that there is something more to the world than just plain old what’s before your eyes. I want some confirmation that there is something out there and I want to know more about the mysteries of the universe. Being here, I’m hoping will take me a step closer.
November 18, 2008 at 5:12 PM
I come here to have a little laugh,once in a while.
Now I’m curious about how Mr. Welldone’s Vacations are going.
November 18, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Vacation eh?
November 19, 2008 at 7:35 AM
I am here to find the voice which calls to me. She is not here, that much I know.
But perhaps, this place will be another stepping stone on the path?
Or, at the least, a lead so false that I hear her cry once more.
November 19, 2008 at 1:23 PM
Nukey: A bloody human feather-duster is certainly creative. Please accept my sympathy and some Neosporin.
R.: Thank you, but that will not be necessary. This is Mr. Welldone’s place, and a place to discuss him and his posts. If you have a suggestion relating to me and *my* path, I invite you to post it on In Extremis.
Quartz: I can assure you there is a great deal more. The confirmation, if its to be real, must come from you. I could make whatever claim I wanted, but it would never substitute for your own experience. All I can offer is the chance to see and decide for yourself.
Mediumrare, Anonymous: Me too. Hopefully he’ll stop by and let us know how it’s going. What do you think a Welldone vacation would consist of? (Morning tea, chanting, chanting, death, ooooooh.. shuffleboard).
EjoThims: Perhaps. Let me know how that turns out.

i am curious blank.
are you related to our absent host or merely someone who has been feeling around in the dark.
November 19, 2008 at 4:21 PM
I’m a voyeur.
I watch and read and observe, but never act.
I especially love the extremes of man.
Children playing, deaths, lovemaking, the French.
Oh the unending passion and entertainment of the French!
But fear, and those who wish to inspire and feel fear are also held quite high.
Fear is basic, fear started life.
Take a human brain, peel away layer after layer of tissue, at the end you find the basics, water, food, fear.
We need fear to live, we have since we crawled out of the filth and primordial soup, undoubtedly hobbling from some unknown horror in the water. Fear is our mother, our teacher, and our soul.
It also happens to be one of the few emotions I can feel.
November 19, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I’m no longer really looking for an answer as whatever entity was taunting me has evidently gotten bored and left several months ago. However if I were to happen to just randomly come across an answer, I’ll accept anything that explains its presence.
November 19, 2008 at 10:51 PM
I pursue darkness…because it is the ultimate truth of human existence. Horror and tragedy resonate with an intensity that the lie of human goodness cannot hope to replicate.
November 20, 2008 at 3:06 AM
I think everyone else here is probably here for the same reason I am.
Now that I’ve recovered from that whole fit, I’d like to answer this question.
To show off. To be a part of something. To feel as though we are making progress in the depths of the unknown. To be special. To stand out from the crowd, yet blend in with what we perceive to be our kin of mind.
Oh, sorry, I started writing in that weird pretentious pseudo-intellectual style everyone else seems to take around here. Let me try a more literal interpretation of Nukey’s words…
Because like, everyone likes to think they get a little slice of darkness by posting in this fucking blog, even if it don’t make a real difference in their life. They feel a little higher up and I guess that’s like, understandable or some shit.
November 20, 2008 at 7:36 PM
I am here purely due to an immense, overwhelming curiousity that I cannot explain nor satisfy. I found Welldone and his posts very interesting, therefore I remain. It’s just to pass the time, I suppose, nothing more. I look forward to posts by you in the future, Blank.
November 20, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Seems I missed quite a lot since I was last here. When I read that Mr. Welldone was going away, I imagined him sitting on the beach, in a suit and drinking tea, and mind-fucking everyone who walks by. I really don’t know why, though. That doesn’t really seem like something he’d do at all.
Hello Blank. I don’t think you need to find a different name, Blank sounds interesting enough. I feel you’ll do a swell job for Mr. Welldone while he is gone.
But anyway, in answer to your question, I come here because Mr. Welldone annoys me, piques my interest, and creeps me the fuck out all at the same time. For all I know, he may just be some old, fat guy who likes to roleplay and scare people on the interwebs, or he may actually be what he says. That’s what I love, hate, and fear so much about this, is that I don’t know.
I also come here for the people who type like Mr. Welldone. They’re almost as interesting, annoying, and creepy as Mr. Welldone himself.
I love you freaks.
November 21, 2008 at 6:00 AM
I love you too, Dea.
November 21, 2008 at 7:33 AM
Dea: Given the image(s) that the Comte has provided, it could be anything from that scenario, to unexpected troubles in Hades/Limbo/R’lyeh etc., and anywhere in between. I do believe it’s an enterprise more dignified than any of his impostors would permit, though.
November 27, 2008 at 5:46 PM
I’m here because it’s so interesting. But it’s weird how reading about how much Mr.Welldone hates humans is so entertaining, but it’s cool to see things from this point of view.
I’ve always loved morbid things, so these blogs are amazing to me. I like scaring the crap out of myself too.

the fact that you don’t doublespace after every statement is refreshing.
though you have my (rather useless) pity,
since now everyone will write like you to make their opinions seem more accurate/valid to you.
anyhow.
why.am.i.here.
honestly? i’m here because it’s goddamn cold and this keeps my mind off the shivering.
and because i like to watch all of this craziness unfold with the commenters.
including, ofcourse, me.
(but mainly because it’s cold.)
now you know why eye am here
to lend an eye or perhaps an ear
though reading about such curiousity and fear
kind of makes me puke in my mouth a little bit.
January 6, 2009 at 4:26 PM
i’m here for the stories.
January 18, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Why am I here? I’m here because there’s something about the darkness that sings to me. It’s a siren song and it horrifies me, but I keep listening. I’m here because I needed a place to go to kill time and I got sucked into all of this, never realizing it was happening. That’s why.
May 7, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I’m here because I want to light up the darkness. Not the world’s darkness, that would be pretentious. But my own darkness.
I was so scared when I read my first creepy pasta I wasn’t able to sleep. That feeling of helplessness annoyed me to no end, so I kept on reading more and more, still having some trouble and never being able to sleep soundly again. Demons, psychopaths and many other creatures that lie in the darkness, how could one not fear for their safety when there is so much evil out in the world?
For some reason, even if the answer for my question never came, I felt safer when the lights were out now, because I knew what could be out there with me. You could say enlightenment was my light.
It’s like gradually stretching the limits of what you think is monstrous. At first the simple thought of my soul being damned forever if I screwed up a ritual pasta made me shaky. Now I can read gory details or elaborated insanity and genuinely feel nothing at all. (Actually this is a lie, I will most of the time be amused by the lack of originality of the author or their major grammatical fuck-ups.)
But even if I’m stronger now, every now and then I’ll read something that will make me look behind my shoulder. It’s thrilling, it’s annoying…
I honestly don’t know if I keep reading because I don’t want to be scared anymore, or because I do…
Maybe on my way to become fearless I will come across something that will throw me right back where I started or maybe even further away. Who knows? I don’t, and I want to find out.

I am here for one reason, I saw a comment. I this were a few years ago I’d be oof this thread in an instant but now this makes me think. I know that some people here lie to escape whatever shitty world they live in and hell, you might be one yourself. My point is I’m not going to teel you im some evil lord who plots in his fortress. I have the deepest intrest in the unknown things beyond or whatever other names they go by.I am not however a fool, I know that there are things in the unknown that are best left that way but honestly couldn’t care. Anyways the internet has helped ,alittle, but now im looking deeper. If you got anything on the subject lemme know. Oh just to let you know im not only intersted in the dark.
