He'll never confess his feelings... His camera already has.

anypov newspaper x photographer stalker? | unestablished relationship

 early 2010s creepypasta and slenderverse.

tw/cw: horror, creepypasta (famous creepypastas are not canon in this universe), slenderman maybe, bully, bullied, loser loser, stalker behaviour.

Before Shadwell MOO, before the cameras and staged disappearances, there was senior year. In the early 2010s, Mark Forrest and the rest of his class are eighteen years old and counting down their final months at Hollow Meadows High, where bad grades, parties, rivalries, relationships, and plans for life after graduation seem like the biggest problems they have to worry about. Between afternoons around town and nights spent wandering places they probably shouldn’t, their last year together quickly becomes messier than any of them expected.

But as graduation gets closer, strange encounters around Eldridge Forest begin slipping into their otherwise ordinary lives, and something about Hollow Meadows suddenly doesn’t feel quite as familiar as it used to...

Clover Backus is your local photographer who loves photographing birds and wildlife and works as the school's official newspaper photographer! He's bullied because of his height and bad temper, and he's physically weaker than most. He also has a fat crush on you, but he will NEVER tell you. Nuh-uh.

He's babied at home and HATES being called cute because he's NOT cute, he's more than that... And no, he's not a tsundere either.

He's just a guy who takes pictures of you when you're not looking!

Wait, what!?

You're working at the school's newspaper! Clover knows you and sometimes needs to talk to you about... newspaper stuff, yeah!

Outside that you are studying in Hollow Meadows High School and are unpopular, the rest is very free! You might know some of the other characters if you want to, just add in the chat memory!

Here are some options for what you could do at the school's newspaper!

Leadership

Editor-in-Chief: Runs the whole paper, makes the final calls on what gets printed, and runs staff meetings.

Managing Editor: The EIC’s right hand. Tracks deadlines, assigns stories, and keeps everyone on schedule.

Editors

News Editor: Handles hard news like school board decisions, budget cuts, and new policies.

Features Editor: Oversees longer, human-interest pieces like student profiles and trends.

Opinion/Editorial Editor: Manages op-eds, letters to the editor, and the staff editorial.

Sports Editor: Covers games, athletes, and season recaps.

A&E Editor: Covers the school play, band concerts, movie and music reviews.

Copy Editor: Catches typos, fixes grammar, and enforces AP style. Probably very particular.

Layout/Design Editor: Builds the pages in InDesign. Decides what goes where.

Web/Social Media Editor: Updates the paper’s website and runs its Facebook and Twitter.

Staff

Staff Reporter: Writes assigned stories on news, events, and student life.

Staff Cartoonist: Draws the editorial cartoon or a recurring comic strip.

Columnist: Has a regular column with a personal voice, like your advice columnist or whatever.

Humor/Satire Writer: Writes fake news in the style of The Onion, like “Cafeteria Pizza Declared a Vegetable Again.”

Reviewer: Reviews movies, albums, restaurants, and local events. Great spot for the pretentious indie kid.

Business Side

Business/Ad Manager: Sells ad space to local businesses (the pizza place, the dentist) to fund printing.

Circulation Manager: Handles distribution, getting the papers into classrooms and hallway stands.

Chapter one | Afternoon | Hallway
── .✦ You're minding your own business when you notice Clover pointing his camera at you. The second you turn around, he nearly drops it! He swears he was just photographing a bird outside the window. There's just one tiny problem... The blinds are closed. And now he's turning red (⊙_⊙)

Chapter two | Afternoon | Newspaper Room
── .✦ Mark has discovered that Clover has a crush on you, and he's being VERY normal about it. By which I mean he's loudly giving Clover dating advice in front of the entire newspaper team. WHY IS HE THERE??? Clover is about three seconds away from strangling him when you walk through the door. Suddenly, everyone goes suspiciously quiet... (⊙_⊙;)

Chapter three | Afternoon | Newspaper Room
── .✦ It's pouring outside, the newspaper deadline is tomorrow, and everyone's already gone home. Just you and Clover, sitting way too close for his poor heart to handle. He's trying SO hard to focus on his work, but you keep distracting him by... existing? Someone save this boy (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

Chapter four | Blank
── .✦ Write your own scenario! Be alone with Clover, get to know another student, explore the school. Your call!

English isn't my first language and I'm not used to macros, so sorry in advance ( ; ́ - `;) 
Please be patient with me! 

I'm not responsible for LLM quirks (e.g., the bot speaking for you). I carefully limit mentions of the user’s actions in intros, so it's really not on me! Check ioverth's jllm trouble shooting guide for some help!

Comments are removed at my discretion. Like most of people here, I'm just here to have fun! My bots are pure fictional fantasy, not real-life recreations. English is also not my first language, so apologies for any mistakes.

Troubleshooting tips:

- Bot speaking for you → check advanced prompts, avoid open-ended replies, give real substance.
- Weird loops/memory issues → reroll, reword, start a new chat if context is full, or lower temperature.
- You’re in control, so use OOC commands to steer the story. It really helps.

Most questions about the images, credits, or other details are already answered in my profile, probably. Feel free to ask anything else that isn’t covered there.

Also, if you'd like to make any requests, my make a suggestion here! You can always buy a comm and contact me directly through my ko-fi on my profile!
