The Names

This is my list for the variety of names given to Slenderman. For the sake of simplicity I am going to refer to him as Slenderman the whole time, however this list will still be a good item to have in our report. The names will be arranged alphabetically from the first letter and this list will be updated as we discover new names. I will also be using different lists for different languages, as The Slenderman seems to have influence with the German culture. Translates will be provided for separate languages. These names will be from any perspective on the Slenderman, from victim to proxy. I will also note that the translations are from online sites and so may be inaccurate. If this is the case, I apologize and will fix it if the correct translation is left.

English Names:

*Bundle (I attempted to translate this but it appears that this word is meant as is. We should research this one further.)
*The Construct
*Master
*The Operator
*The Pale One
*Slender
*Slenderman
*Slendy
*Mr. Slim
*Tall, Dark, and Facless (TDF)
*The Tall Man
*Mr. Thin
*The Thin Man
*Tree Man
*The White King

German Names:
*Der Großmann (The Great Man)
*Der Ritter (The Knight)
*Der Schlanker Mann (The Slender Man)
*Schlankwald (Slim Forest)
*Schwarzwald (The Black Forest)

Irish:
*Fear Dubh (The Black Man)

Well

We're one week in and I'm already screwing things up.
This looks like it's going to be one hell of a project.

Luca Pesce.

Not quite, Tom.  Mine was late again.  Sorry.

Hello, Blogger.  My name is Luca Pesce, and I am another member of this interesting group project.

I'm not entirely certain what I'm supposed to oversee, but I'm sure the others will tell me what I can do.  You could call me the one who fills in the blanks of this group; I'll do whatever jobs nobody else wants to do, or what everybody forgot to do.

As for me myself, I'd like to clear up one thing.  I am androgynous.  If it's alright with you, I'd prefer to be referred to with gender-neutral pronouns.  Whichever variation of those you choose is up to you.  I know some of my friends don't really like to do that, for simplicity reasons, and that's okay too.

I'm pretty excited about our topic.  I've always liked reading creepypasta at all hours of the night, and I think this will be a nice way to channel all that interest.  Of course, I'm not as into "actual" paranormal things like Sophie is, but it's still an interesting topic.

Hopefully, this will be as fun a project as it looks to be.

Luca

Index.

Well, now that introductions are out of the way, I suppose we should get to the project itself. Our job will be divided in five main chapters:

  1. What is the Slenderman?
  2. The Slenderman's History.
  3. Vlogs.
  4. Blogs.
  5. Spread.
Those and whichever small footnotes and personal posts we decide to add.

I think that's it for the day. Have a good one, and don't let the proxies bite.

Sophie Evans.

Hey guys, Sophia Evans here. Call me Sophie though.

I am really freakin exited for this project. I've already been researching paranormal experiences and the like on my own, but when Tom brought the project idea up... I'm glad we badgered our teacher into letting us do this.

Also, I apologize for Ava. She doesn't like to see the fun in things sometimes but she's reaaaaaaaally awesome when she's not in a mood. And don't worry, I'm sure she'll lighten up when she sees how epic the Slendermythos can get.
Because come on, who the heck doesn't like a good old fashioned monster who's face is non-existent/changes from person to person's perspective, or so I've heard?

Oh yeah, almost forgot: I'm the artistic/creative one of the group, making sure everything is nice and beautiful, with lots of great pictures of the big guy himself.

Sophie, out.

Ava Willow.

Hello Blogger. My name is Ava Willow. As you may have read from Tom's post, we are using this blog for a school project. Tom, myself, and two of our friends will be researching and creating reports based on a series of various different online media creations centered around a being known as "The Slenderman" "Slenderman" or a number of other names that I shall list in a separate section of the report. This being is from a series of blogs, vlogs, audiologs and several other pieces of media commonly known as "The Slenderman Mythos".

As my partner Tom previously stated, the purpose for this blog is simply to get in touch with other Blogger users for information about the myths and legends regarding Slenderman and the Slenderman Mythos.


I personally do not understand why we choose to do this report on something that does not have a moral or a lesson unlike other mythological tales, however, it took a long discussion with our instructor to allow us this topic for our report. It would be pointless to change it to a different topic.


I will be doing my best to make certain that everything in our report is understandable, correct in both grammar and spelling, and organized in a proper format. I hope that our presentation is pleasing to both you and our instructor.

Step One: The Project and Introductions.

Look at me. All organized and stuff.

Well, hello blogger. You must be wondering why I've gathered you here. I would like to introduce myself: My name is Tom Charter. I am a senior high-school student, and me and my friends will be using this blog for my English class project.

The task was very straight forward: An analysis on a series of books of stories we liked and their author. We were to join in teams of four and bring in a report by the end of the month.

Still, after a bit of arguing with our professor, I convinced him to let us make our report on something a bit more interesting: The series of blogs and vlogs commonly known as "The Slenderman Mythos". Why, you ask? Well, because ever since the Marble Hornets series first aired, it's become one of the biggest phenomenons on the internet. There are thousands of blogs, vlogs and even videogames dedicated to the story. It has spawned conventions, parodies and even several forum websites dedicated only to discuss theories on the mysterious being known as "The Slenderman" (Which we will talk plenty about on the future).

We decided to create this blog in order to get in touch with other bloggers, who might help us understand the stories a bit better (If they can get out of character for long enough not to threaten our lives) and correct us if we make any mistakes.

Thank you for reading, and we hope you enjoy the ride as much as we will.
