I read it in print and thought it was awful, such an interesting idea but explored by a rank amateur, curious to know how different the original creepypasta was.

Edit: Oh it's a full rewrite? I had no idea.

Note, both versions were available in print, do you know which one you read? :-)

And yes, according to author it's a pretty significant rewrite for v2: https://qntm.org/antifaq#sec0

Original for sure, in paperback, which I donated after finishing, looks like it sells for a lot more than I paid for it.
