| I don't know if this is in the right place? I think it is? If not, please forgive me. Anyway! So, I know you've all heard of the Slenderverse group. And if you haven't...well, yeah. Its a facebook group. So I figured, "Hey, why doesn't the Fear Mythos have one?" Which led me to make one. If you would like to join it, feel free to join! Here's the link | |

The fact that the Slender Man is a Fear doesn't count it as a mimic. | |

Lol xP Also, I like to see this as the improved version of the Slenderverse in the sense that the rules will actually be enforced and people will be excellent to each other. I'm the only admin there right now. I'm going to get another one to keep me in check, of course. But I don't take crap. Ever. | |

Mimic is probably not the right word, but the fact that the Fear Mythos kind of is a self-professed spinoff of the Slender Man Mythos.... | |

| Gotta agree with DaLadybugMan on this one. The Fear mythos came about from the Slender Man Mythos. It's not a jab or an attempt to lessen the impact its had, it's just a fact. | |

| Not really. If anything, its more of a creepypasta thing. The fact of the matter is, its a facebook group. If we want to talk about copying, then the Slenderman Mythos copied after someone else who decided to make a Facebook group for people with the same interests. Absolutely nothing is original. Everything is inspired by something else, even Slenderman. So everyone could go on all day about how so-and-so copied off of such-and-such and get nowhere. Nothing is original. I personally just enjoy the Fear Mythos more as opposed to strictly the Slenderman Mythos. I always have and I always will. So that's why I made this facebook page. If you don't want to enjoy it with us, then that's totally fine. Just let us enjoy it instead.
Note: I don't mean to sound rude, honest I don't. But I'm very passionate about the Fear Mythos. Very. | |

| Near, you do make a point there. The fear mythos, as well as the slender man mythos, take bits and pieces of each other and bring them into a cohesive entity. Though, I must disagree with the, "nothing is originals" statement. While the mythos does borrow from other stories and ideas, it also has the ability to produce original thought and entertainment. When and how that is brought about is dependant upon those who produce contentto further the mythos. Saying nothing is original is such a broad statement that can be applied to anything and everything, it's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with ideas, so much as the originality that comes from a person using ideas, whether never used or used a lot, in a different way than anyone else. There is the originality. | |

| Right, and the Fear Mythos has some originality in it as well. Strictly talking about Slenderman here, I mean..c'mon, you know his creation had some inspiration. I just don't want to play the whole "you copied this" game, because I feel like its discrediting this great community. And I know you said you didn't mean to, and I'm not getting mad or anything. I'm just ready for people to see that we're not just a branch-off from the Slenderman Mythos. We're smart, creative, and talented people who probably could have made this happen even if Slenderman had never happened. We can, have, and are standing on our own two feet and we do it with dignity. | |

| I actually, at one point, wanted to cut the Slender Man out of the Fear Mythos entirely. And I'd give the Rake the boot if I could too. >__>
Maybe without the Slender Man Mythos the Fear Mythos wouldn't exist. But that's only because, when I was making the Fear Mythos, I looked at the Slender Man Mythos as an example of what NOT to do. If anything, dissatisfaction with this wonky mythos inspired it.
Because, come on, we can all admit that this community has... lots of faults. Constant drama, blogverse stagnation, frequent clashes of what's "canon." The Fear Mythos, for the most part, has avoided all of that.
And that's all I have to say about that if you'd like to continue this argument meet me in the alleyway with a knifeI MEAN private message me or something I dunno, I'd be happy to argue about it! B) | |

| The drama has nothing to do with the mythos. That deals with the fans and creators, nothing more. Blogverse stagnation is non-existent, I will tell everyone right now. The reason that we don't hear much from blog writers lies in a bout of drama caused by people, once again. As for frequent clash of what's "Canon", I don't see that. No one is going to war over what The Slender Man does or doesn't do, people have their own opinions and ideas as to who and what he is, as well as where he came from. I have never seen full blown arguments break out, and I don't think we ever will. | |

| It doesn't matter who's dramatic, or what's canon, or whatever it is blogs do. The fact of the matter is I made a frickin' facebook page, okay? Its a facebook page. I'm not going to play this middle school copycat game over a group I made on facebook. That's just silly. If you want to join it, join it. If you don't, don't. That's all there is to it.

| It's quite obvious both copied Lovecraft. Slender Man was created to solve what was "wrong" with Cthulthu.
Point the finger back far enough, it all has an origin. Cute doesn't want SlenderMan or Rake...he doesn't have to use them. Others will. slenderverse "has more drama". shrug. It's the internet. Often the best fandoms have the most problems. Because it becomes important to people. I love Doctor Who and certain fans are just so illogical. I get over that. I dont use Lord of the Rings less divided fanbase as a reason for why it's better than Doctor Who. That is illogical. | |

I know you don't mean to anger anyone. And I'm all up for a good debate as well. But like I said, I love the fear mythos. I'm very passionate about it. I just dont like when someone's first thought about it is, "Oh, its just a rip-off of the Slenderman Mythos." The Slenderman Mythos in itself is a rip-off from Lovecraft, so why does no one talk about that? Also, I've said before, I do believe that The Fear Mythos would have occured even if Slenderman had never been thought of. When you feel like something you love and are passionate about is being tacked up to be simply a copy of something else, I feel like you are insulting it as well as not giving it a chance. Like I said, we do stand on our own two feet. | |

At least wait until the Rake gets a bad crowd fan overload from a simple collection based survival game before you think about taking it out - Spoiler:
Rake is my waifu :3
