Who would like to team up with me to make a Super Metroid creepypasta?

Hello, I am going to be making a Super Metroid creepypasta and I need help with some ideas. I think Super Metro id will be good for a creepypasta (I know, creepypasta are lame, cliche, and not that good, I guess I should just use scary story or something.)

I have some ideas and I would like a sprite artist so I can have it like Godzilla NES creepypasta had it (when it showed pics)

The story will start off with this hacking team of five who will are just hackers who look for unused oddities in games. But they find this Strange version of Super Metorid which is like a new game. As you can see, I still need to think how they will find it.

If anyone is intrested, let me know  : )

I'm not really all that well read on creepypasta or horror in general, I think ben drowned is the only one I've read even partway. Anyway, I've been writing my own book and am not really interested in collaborating. That being said, here's my unwarranted advice.

Just because something has a reputation for being lame with most people doesn't mean that you should approach it with the mental picture of your work not being good. If it's something you enjoy, then do it because you enjoy it instead of basing it on how you think someone else will react to it. Simply put, if you enjoy creepypasta, then don't worry about the "lame, cliche, not that good" that you'll hear. Just take the elements that you like and write your own story using them. If you enjoy writing for yourself, then it doesn't matter if some or even most people would roll their eyes at the tropes involved.

That being said, I will point out that sharing situations with others often makes them easier and less scary. Not saying your team of five can't work, but that you should think about how you handle it. If everyone is alive and can communicate with each other it can lessen the emotional impact of whatever is happening. Even I know an important facet of most horror stories is the loss of control or identity of self. Isolation definitely enhances that, so you should consider making sure your characters are isolated from each other, either by having communication being disrupted, or by altering mental states so that even if they can communicate with others, they no longer see them as human or feel they can relate to them in any way.
