Make It Count

Make It Count is a blog by Celeste McLachlan (or 'Celie' if you're nice) chronicling the life of a journalist.

...Well, it would have been had Celie's best friend, Rose not been stalked by Slenderman. Oh! And there's even a Gentleman (or lady) Stalker who calls himself Practical Cat. Fun.

And so follows one of the most well-written Slenderblogs, along with Character Development that even draws Zeke Strahm into commenting.


 * Being Watched: Celeste's best friend, Rose was being stalked for at least two weeks by Slenderman.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: The rant at the disgusting redneck surely qualifies
 * Don't Go in The Woods: Unfortunately for Celie, this becomes a requirement when she joins the search party for the Missing People. Factor in that she lives next to the local woods...
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: In Zeke/Celie circles, thanks to their blogging correspondence and the Berserk Button effect Celeste's name had on Zeke during one of his.
 * Ironically the authors are seeing each other in Real Life.
 * Genre Savvy: Celeste,  goes and reads ever blog she can get her hands on.
 * Gorn: Try reading he description of  after eating. I dare you.
 * Intrepid Reporter: Celeste, of course.
 * Police Are Useless: Subverted. While the police don't know Celeste's whole story, they do provide support and she even befriends a detective.
 * Shout-Out: Considering Celeste is currently planning on going to Miskatonic University, I'd say Lovecraft would be one.
 * Also, Dav Flamerock, a user involved in the Just Another Fool ARG gets name dropped during Celie's rant at the "Cowboy Creeper."
 * Suspiciously Apropos Music: Invoked when Celie is driving after . She now drives without music.
 * Wicked Stepmother: Angel doesn't exactly live up to her name...
 * Word of God is that she's based on the author's Real Life experiences with her own stepmom. Brr.
 * The Woobie: Celeste, so very much so.
