Talk:Jeff the Killer Discovers His Fanbase/@comment-5101683-20180709015320

I liked it. Have you ever read Killer Worship? This reminds me of that story, except the dialogue isn't as good and the chain of events is somewhat more melodramatic. This is probably because Jeff the Killer is actually in character. I would say that this leans more heavily towards metamodernism than the other story in the sense that it follows more closely the mythos of "Jeff the Killer" than Killer Worship does. I like the fact that you actually take the stories you write about seriously, because it makes the commentary feel less caustic.

With that comparison made, Killer Worship comments on the nonsensical nature of "Jeff the Killer" and how an actual serial killer would react to this kind of statement, while this story comments on the problematic nature of a fanbase which ships monsters and how that would make an emotional monster feel. So I really think that this is the opposite of Killer Worship, using the fictional to comment upon reality.

Both of the stories I've read from you are funny while not being derogatory towards the characters within them. I hope to read more of your writing.
