Just checked out the series, I really enjoyed it. The mystery is there and I want to see what happens. 14 was really creepy. Am I sick that....
Spoiler:
I kinda wanted to see it cut back and his arm was chopped off? My damn morbid mind.

By the way dude, you messaged me on youtube (realmadnessx) but your channel is on lock so I can't reply. I sent a message to your projectnewworld account.

These were some pretty good follow-up videos. I liked Alex's acting in the second one.

It didn't really look like it, but it is a possibility. If anything it was the Doctor.

Here's the new Journal.

And the proxy predictions begin. My prediction is that the girl is somehow connected to the Doctor, in one way or the other.
And you encourage us to call just to call and talk? That's pretty cool.

I had an interesting conversation:
Spoiler:
Hello. I am texting you because I've wasted my minutes. But, I advise you to watch your latest video again. See anything odd about it?
Care to elaborate? -7
Erm... who is this? I'm not sure if that -7 means that it's from 7 or not.
(1/2)Alex is allowed only to hear the audio messages, we, all seven of us, control all else. These messages will reach him one day, I assure you. But for now, (2/2)you speak to us. -7
Okay... well, in the video it flashes pictues and words for like 3 frames. Are these messages from you guys?
Perhaps they are. Even we do not know the affairs of our own. It is, in fact, a competition after all.
What kind of competition? What are you trying to get?
(1/2)Pay close attention to the questions other people ask us. We are not allowed to answer perfectly directly. Father demands it be so. Here is our hint: The (2/2)Doctor has his first point.
Is "Father" the tall, faceless guy? What does he want?
Yes. That is father. He wants what he has always wanted. He wants to be left alone. For now we find ourselves strapped for time. We must end this discussion.

You really dug into them deep. They actually turned you away for asking for too much information.

Have we just met the second of the Wicked 7?
Judging by Simon's disappearance, I'm guessing that Simon might possibly be the masked assailant we just met in 20.

Hmm... Maybe you should call Alex about it?
We're still accepting calls, all of which will be recorded and possibly put into a future Journal.

Yes, certainly feel free to call whenever you want, and if I do not pick up, feel free to leave a message. Your questions may be answered in the possible future journal if we feel we can work with them.

I guess Simon didn't know he was missing. (?) Possibly due to some sort of amnesia-inducing event?

That is the trick here, this is all footage from before he went missing, it will be clarified later. But, the problem is, he found something that supposedly won't be made until after he goes missing.

Oh no time for me to put in my few cents on this D:
Spoiler:
In the Streetlights video, the distortion felt a little like it lacked subtlety. It felt like there wasn't any reason for it to be there other than to point out "HEY THIS IS A SLENDERSERIES!"
The Slenderman appearance in the Running video was good, however. It worked for me, anyways.
But when I got to the tumblr page and saw everything was tagged with "slenderman" I was confused until I realized it was probably thewickedseven who did it. I don't know if they were edited after a certain point or if the protagonist has selective slender-blindness but I still cringe a little with everything being tagged "slenderman" because the slenderman tag on tumblr is a scary place to be. And it feels a little like an obvious self-promotion.
I understand having the creepy mysterious character upload some "normal" footage as a way of being extra-creepy but when it's that much of teenagers just hanging out it kinda loses my interest. It's not what I'm here to see.
I do agree that in 14 and 14+, things really stepped up. But You're calling the other Fears "children of the Slender Man"? aaahhh no. The Fears are more like its peers. From what I understand, they're on equal footing with it. I dunno, I get kinda iffy about it whenever the Fears themselves start blogging :/ While I can see how this whole game between them would work in theory, I just personally really disagree with the idea that they would communicate with any humans they're not actively fucking with. And even that should be taken on a case-by-case basis. But I mean "I had to borrow the angel's tablet"? That's... way too personified for what the Fears are supposed to be :/ It's taking all the scary out of them, frankly.
Otherwise this series is pretty well-executed, but certain elements of it are personal dealbreakers for me. But hey, don't let me stop you from what your heart's set on doing!

Yeah, I really can concede to some of those issues.
Spoiler:
We are working on it though, slowly, but surely, we will make the series into what the original idea was supposed to be. Streetlights was weak, but that is because we didn't have practice yet. the first 13 were really just an experiment for us. We needed to find a style, and I think we really have that now. I hope we can turn your opinion around soon enough.
Also, those tumblr asks, will amount to something later. Maybe we brought them in too early,but we didn't make a mistake, we just aren't following through with it yet.

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. We really appreciate the feedback along with a positive attitude. The tagging is TheWickedSeven, you're correct, but it doubles as self-promotion, so you're double correct! Yeah that's not to most noble thing, but hey, it works for us. Admittedly, we aren't doing a traditional approach to the Fears, and it's probably not something that diehard Fear-fans will appreciate, but we're doing our own interpretation and I think it's going to work a lot better once it all plays out. We're taking this characters and melding them into our own story in the same sense of what other series creators do with Slenderman. No mythos here is set in stone, and that's kind of the fun in it, at least for us. But you can interpret it how you want, that's also the fun in it! We haven't gotten a chance to show many of the fears in action, so we're kind of just playing them off for a bit of comic relief to really bring in the shock when they finally appear. As for the Normalcy-like videos, well, that's finally going to come full circle soon. So stay tuned!
