creepypasta

An interesting horror phenomenon which it was formed from a journalistic hoax from a man who had SomethingAwful ties creating the figure known as slenderman. The precursor to this was the now defunct e-zine known as The House of Pain which established in 1994.

The guilty party behind The Cabbie Homicide, he in 2006 introduced a creative nonfiction piece called The Pattern of Diagnosis introduced on his own mag and in a Philly based mag in autumn of 2007. The latter compared to the earlier piece was a hope spot in contrast, as this has an eerie personality of it's own often seen as Inspirational though it's eerie atmosphere.

Pinned a piece to his personal pinterest account; a creepypasta piece on fanfiction net examining it as it was the size of his cult horror outings going around and his published output. Tampa Bay Times did an interesting article about the phenomenon as they documented a truecrime that happened in Wisconsin that the subjects stabbed a classmate to honor the fictional entity. It's something born out of what is known as fakelore. Where a journalistic hoax meets weird fiction is when you get the creepypasta output. It shows up on wattpad as the author introduced a horror story that deconstructs how teenagers were portrayed in teen dramas and in slasher films as the actors are often older.

He in 2006 introduced a dry-witted narrator in a short story called Spectral Exile which is quite gory in nature.
creepypasta is a curious thing -- especially the ones that are presented in the 4800 word range without showing up as fannish. The one who goes by the screenname Blackbird bleeds on fanfiction.net produced a piece that can be studied on an academic level. According to Wikipedia -- Slenderman's origin has ties to the writer, H. P. Lovecraft and the pervert who composed "The Naked Lunch" who killed his wife in a drunken idiotic stunt playing "William Tell"with a firearm in the 1940s. The Cabbie Homicide a true crime short story that's has origins in Glendale Heights and Addison, Illinois, plays up a much darker and harder version of The Tell-Tale Heart as some think this is a creepypasta before the term was coined.

Racist

The word that libels someone who grew up in Glendale Heights or Chicagoland because this region one had friends who were DuPage Muslim or African-American as some grew up in the Suburbs. When one had a mayor who was Asian in 1995, the fact calling someone a racist or a bigot in this region. It will invoke old wounds, the twitter user Namir_Rem made a big mistake calling the writer of The Cabbie Homicide this as he invoked slur laced insults over his blanket term "prose" where this one pointed out there's more than one example as this known as a piece, segment. stand-a-lone short, or one-shot (pending who calls this.) This is more common with those who are considered a Fundie. As in they're Anglo, from the south and use 1611 Speak often dressing up as ethnic stereotypes.
The last thing one wants to be considered in Glendale Heights, it's the one thing that well invokes witch-hunts in the region because of Skokie, 1977 where a self-hating Anti-Semite was busted parading around the area with a fucking Nazi uniform . There were a number screaming the word "Racist' and "Death to the Nazis" in the streets of Skokie, Illinois, as they were going to invoke a paedo-hunt on the sorry sack of fail.

Burned Pizza

Insulting slur to Italians from the Abruzzo region especially Italian-Americans as it's up there with guinea equal to the n-word to African Americans. The two words that would see frocio thrown at you. or the horns tossed at you because the wife fucks you behind your back.
Author Adam Sneffet called a rival author a burned pizza when he spoke out; this author responded like an African-American when a White Privilege used the n-bomb in other words, don't do it.

Creative Nonfiction

A style of nonfiction that's often seen with an eye which some publishers don't know what to make of it when introduced into the independent literature circles.

Author who introduced The Cabbie Homicide brought the framework of the macabre into the delivery as a publisher who eventually published him cussed as she noticed it in 2002. It has origins in Gonzo Journalism coined by Hunter S Thompson. Wes Craven believe it or not gave the form visibility on the big screen when he directed "Serpent in the Rainbow." The author, Wade Davis, contributed to Forbes, National Geographic, and Condé Nast Traveler.

The styles range from investigative to feel-good.The style is sometimes seen on wordpress and tumblr when using tags after the second paragraph. The approach is not without it's controversies over the years. Early origins can be in the writings of Daniel Foe as it's origins are in the crime of pamphleteering before the digital age as they were the forerunner of the blogger.

The Stranger Beside Me by Anne Rule is a 1980s example of creative nonfiction as it was applied to true crime. Lee Gutkind founded the magazine for it's name; as the writer of The Cabbie Homicide was getting noticed in the circles as he had a piece on the newsstand in 2008 from a fringe literature journal. They liken the form to jazz (no not the underage science project on TLC but the music form,) the author who introduced the true crime piece likened the darker take to doom metal.
valannb22 as she commented when bugchaser gossip blogger pissed on the cult piece, "What exactly is creative nonfiction? Is it non-fiction or something you just pull out of your ass based on something that really happened?"

Creative Nonfiction has a few names -- literature of fact, narrative journalism, docufiction, and in Hollywood it's coined as Based Upon True Events. Saturday Night Fever was allegedly based on this but the article was later revealed was done by a fabulist.

piece

Journalistic term for article, column or short story. In broadcast journalism it would be known as a segment or report. The New Republic canned fabulist Stephen Glass for pieces where he fabricated every single one of his sources. The Cabbie Homicide's writer uncovered a few of these fabrications as he was preparing for an all out war against a SomethingAwful plagiarist who made claims that the writer stole these from a so-called flash drive as VampireFreaks ignored this.

They were calling the writer a so-called 'pest' as he ended up getting into a very public war as he took it to vemeo and wordpress with the blog entry "Don't Fuck With What's Mine." He pulled out a documentary of the Charles Joseph Whitman to give this blog entry more venom.
I've seen the plethora of fabricated piece narratives that Stephen Glass wrote first hand, my facebook public page has an exclusive speaking about walking around in Highland Park called "Hometown of the Fabulist."

Tumblr

It's an interesting website, though it's one that libtards try to gain dominion when it comes to political correctness. The Cabbie Homicide author came to there and did a piece called "No One Understands Chicago" as he examines former Cradle of Filth backing vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva. He points out she should better educate herself in social studies and enroll in a psychology class to give her material more venom. The username of his tumblr is under his short name and real last name to show readers of his anthologies a bit where he came from before he was published as he has some rather in depth blogs. The post invoked a one sided twitter war where he kept his cool and she retorted with "I bet you talk to care bears." The tweet had him cracking up because she modeled her lyrical output more akin to Nu Metal than her Symphonic Metal contemporaries. The blog revealed some aspects about the 9/11 attacks as they're not an inside job as German magazine, Der Spiegel, chronicled with the English translation of their full length report titled "Inside 9/11: What Really Happened" as he bought the VampireFreaks admin this book as commentators were calling him a Conspiracy Theorist from the information this magazine pointed out. It's quite handy for Conservative bloggers as they can use youtube documentaries for additional venom to their in depth blog entries.
Tumblr is noted for a unique presentation of a write up for the lead singer of Bloodgood's reading of Edgar Allan Poe The Tell-Tale Heart and a presentation speaking about how one editor chose The Monkey's Paw for his most personal anthology project. It's also noted for noting the debate of KenHam and BillNye as a similar exchange happened between The Cabbie Homicide writer and "Dr." Kent Hovind's son as it was played up almost akin to his first science fiction story as he was known on VampireFreaks as.

investigative

A form of journalism where in some countries the journalist returns in a box. As the writer of Cabbie Homicide with a blog entry shared a link about those who are whistle blowers as they speak out against corruption. This form has a much darker side, as these journalists have to have the stones to get in the heads of convicted killers, rapists, infant-rapers, and face down cults. There's no funeral plan for investigative as their severance pay is often paying for a coffin and their proper funeral in certain countries.

The Cabbie Homicide combined macabre elements of Gothic Horror, strong language of Gonzo Journalism and the dialog driven narrative then drew from the Glenbard East newspaper that covered the subjects upon a month before he graduated. He later found the articles covered by Chicago Tribune's Art Barnum which he was reporting on the subject for a good part of a year. Tampa Bay Times had a report on L. Ron Hubbard's brood as they addressed mental illness on a local level. It was noted he did this entirely from memory though some accused him of being a fabulist until he said the subject was in his 7th grade homeroom at Marquardt. August Derleth introduced a fictional investigative named Tex Harrigan in the 1950s as the comic strips had Brenda Starr as the comic was featured in The Chicago Tribune.
Investigative journalism within the realms of wordpress bloggers is a way to fight back with those who are fanfiction writers who guise themselves as journalists and cite their sources as Encyclopedia Dramatiaca and Fandom Wank. The Cabbie Homicide writer points out to those who write in the fandom of Early Edition that the original writer employs techniques of narrative journalism into the framework of the fictionalized Chicago Sun-Times.
