Herobrine profile

[Comiphorous]

Alright i found something. Slenderman's original canon is various images (and tales written with them) from June 8th, 2009 to February 12th, 2010. due to how old that damned forum is, theres a archive of all images and tales written in that timespace of his original mytho. i wanna see if i can find the ORIGINAL posts though.

 

[MrKerf]

I recall people saying he had a lot of stuff written about him in the original mythos, stuff about mutilating animals and shit.

On it's creepepasta page at the end there's a pdf file with complete thing. You can check. Validity is unknown to me.

It looks pretty accurate. the posts it archives match up with other archives online.

I'd need to check old thread for a reason, and I am sick, so don't want to. But I think it was this one.

i think this issue definitely needs to be revisited. "creepypasta" is a very broad term, coming to pretty much refer to any horror content originating from the internet, so banning all of them feels like it's really going overboard to me. especially when you consider that scp exists and it's literally creepypasta

Beleive me, I am SCP supporter, and I would delete it in a heartbeat XD

In that thread the consensus seems that for most creepepasta's it is impossible to determine the original, and it turns into a fairy-tale situation, where the story modified each time.

I mean, Slenderman seems to be an exception here. the original mytho seems to have more than enough information to get a page, i'd just need to... figure some stuff out before doing that. im unsure i can use a PDF archive of the entire slenderman archive to make a page.

it's not like anyone can change what this dude has already. it's been archived and been carved in stone what the original mytho was.

that’s not a problem with herobrine, as i said it should be evaluated on a case by case basis

 

[ShockingPsychic]

We do have one Creepypasta page, at least

I didn't even know we had that...

what the ****?

 

[BigSmoke4269]

well then between scp and russian sleep experiment herobrine should definitely be allowed lol i’m not even on the fence about it anymore

 

[BigSmoke4269]

even the citation issue seems completely fine since the sleep experiment page gets away with it lol

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I was asked to come here and say that, yes, Herobrine is a fan character and would be appropriate for the indicated wiki for said characters.

Thanks. This turned more into a discussion about Slenderman and Creepepasta in general though.

You facinated me with that PDF.

sorry for the derailment tho.

 

[Psychomaster35]

Pretty sure Herobrine is just an original fanmade character based on Steve from Minecraft, so he should really just be on the FC/OC Battles Wiki.

 

[BigSmoke4269]

and scp is immune to this somehow?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Thanks. This turned more into a discussion about Slenderman and Creepepasta in general though.

This is all going to sound very strange given that I was the one who tried to add Creepypasta wholeheartedly back in 2016, before my ban

I imagine Creepypasta fits more or less into the same broad rules we apply to all forms of web-based fiction: while Creepypasta in general would not be permitted (for example, the dozens of Slenderman mythos would not combine to form a singular ultimate mythos), original stories may be added given they achieve an acceptable level of notoriety, granted that the original stories are made by a defined group.

We've had a similar discussion semi-recently regarding the Backrooms, and the consensus was effectively that you could take the original creator's videos (I forget the man's name at the moment) and submit those as a verse, but not the extended canon written by his fans (even with his permission to do so).

SCP skates by (ill advisably, in my opinion) via their strict filtering process that ensures that there is some authority weeding out what is and what isn't acceptable for the verse.

 

[BigSmoke4269]

this version of herobrine isn’t a community character though, what i am proposing is a profile for the original incarnation of him. which is basically just a horror story which includes minecraft as a plot point

The original incarnation is fanfiction of Minecraft, which SCP is not.

snip

so, does that mean i have the okay to make a original Slender Man mythos profile

Sorry for the dumb and probably unrelated question, but what do you mean by this? Does this mean that Creepypasta could be permitted in specific contexts, or is it unconditionally off-limits?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Probably not, since Slenderman is now a formally owned character by a company and the original story is lost to the ages, afaik. But the Russian Sleep Experiment page should be 100% fine.

Specific Creepypastas could be, essentially as their own verses. Creepypasta itself isn't really a verse, just a broadly applied term to describe a certain group of amateur horror stories written and spread about on the Internet. I'm not as savvy as I once was with Creepypasta so forgive me if I'm light on examples. Each potential entry would probably require its own CRT and discussion if they were to be added in earnest, since it's a delicate matter for a lot of the staff.

Is it? i've found multiple archives with most (And said archives match up with each other info-wise), if not his entire mytho from 2009-2010 (aka original mytho era), with feats, powers, and confined canon.

good thing herobrine is notorious as shit

the “defined group” thing seems arbitrary as all hell and doesn’t even apply to a lot of profiles

this is only focusing on the original herobrine story anyways

SCP skates by (ill advisably, in my opinion) via their strict filtering process that ensures that there is some authority weeding out what is and what isn't acceptable for the verse.

still doesn’t excuse characters like the garfield scp, trollface scp, and among us scp (i’m not gonna memorize their numbers), who should be fan characters by the same standards you applied to herobrine

The original incarnation is fanfiction of Minecraft, which SCP is not.

a ton of scp shit is fan characters. the og herobrine story isn’t fanfiction as it is set outside of the game, and the majority of the story doesn’t even feature it

I'm going to assume your "Is it?" is directed at the second half of my point rather than the first, to which I'll say: I certainly thought so. The first bit would still be the main problem, since someone verifiably owns Slenderman these days.

It isn't really arbitrary and does indeed apply to a lot of profiles (SCP, you even named them?).

which is fanfiction.

SCP is another beast entirely. Herobrine is fanfiction.

consecutive points about "what about SCP" will be met with consecutive points about "Herobrine is fanfiction, we have an entire wiki for fanfiction that is perfectly serviceable".

Herobrine isn't going to be on VSBW.

The 'it is' was more directly towards his original mytho being lost media. I've found basically all the info on his original mytho. I could, and it's more than enough for a profile.

But, if our holy grail profile for og slenderman needs a bit discussion before, i'd be happy to move this discussion to another thread so i stop clogging this thread up with something completely unrelated to my boy herobrine

 

[WeeklyBattles]

How many times are we gonna have to explain that SCP isnt fanfiction before people get the message lol

I really doubt a profile for the original Slenderman would be achievable but you're welcome to try. Others have. The game incarnations though should be pretty much concrete though.

I'll probably just close this thread now that questions have been cleared up.

I have tried to put shit that doesn't make sense to put on this website before. nobody can stop me from being stupid.

SCP definitely has elements, but removes those elements from the context they are taking them from. Herobrine, as an example, literally takes place within Minecraft, whereas SCP uses popular imagery to pervert it and evoke a sense of dread/horror/what have you.

SCP should still be deleted, but for entirely different reasons than branding it "fanfiction"
