The Slender Man Mythos

The Slender Man mythos, sometimes referred to as the Slenderverse, is a term used to refer to both the Slender Man community as a whole and the continuity in which the majority of Slender Man series take place. The term shares a name with a forum commonly used for discussing such series.

The Original mythos

The original mythos were created by Victor Surge on the SomethingAwful Paranormal Thread on June 2009. No blogs or video args, like or are considered to be in the original mythos despite having been created at the same time as the mythos.

The Contemporary mythos

The Contemporary mythos are the newest form of Slender Man mythos. These are blogs, vlogs, or written works that exist in a universe called the Slenderverse.

In April 2013, and ceased being advertised on the bible as official Fears, making the Fear Mythos officially independent (though affirming that writers could still use these creatures as Fears in their stories as much as they wanted).

To create a story within the Fear Mythos, all that is required is the story either contain a character, creature, or a motif that the author acknowledges is a Fear, or simply having the story take place in the same universe as another story that was set in the mythos.The Fear Mythos consists of as many fictional universes and canons as is necessary to include every story created for it. Every author is entitled to their own canons and is not required to write in anyone else's unless he or she specifically wants to.

The Fears are open source; no story will be labeled as "fanfiction" unless the author specifically says so.Stories also do not have to be horror, and Fears do not have to be portrayed in any specific way.
