Good
I'm glad a massively talented writer (*nudge...that's you, mofo) has admin rights around here. That's what this site has always needed. Guardians of literature who write literature. Thanks, my friend.

Project Proposal
Hi there, Mr. Kellum. My name is Seth and I was wondering if you would be interested in helping out for a piece I am composing on storytelling in video games for the new Fan Contributor Program. Here I will have the opportunity to be seen by the developers of different mainstream properties and actually talk to them about it. I was recommended to you by a Shawn Howell, and if that name means nothing to you, well, he just said you wrote his favorite series, Tobit, and you are an amazing artist and all around awesome dude.

If you're interested, all you have to do is answer a few questions in as much detail as you can. I belong to the Elder Scrolls Wiki where I blog quite extensively (Which you can see here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:Madman97) and I often critique different parts about the games as well as interview various users from around the net for the website's news team (including some from Central). One thing I have not yet touched upon is the often lackluster story provided by Bethesda Softworks and I think it would be apt to mix my two properties by talking to different users from a site built on storytelling and have their opinion. You don't have to know much about the games to answer the questions, but if you do, all the better. To get an idea of the completed product, here is a link to one interview: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Madman97/Madman_Tonight_with_Draevan13. Since this is a public project, I think it would be a wonderful opportunity to encourage inter-wiki cooperation while also being seen by big names in the video game industry. So there is a chance we can influence future games to some degree with the story feedback. Who better to give them that than actual writers and artists? So once again, if you're interested, it would be great if you could answer the couple of questions below. I may ask follow-up questions based on your responses but that is not required for what we're doing.

1) I have asked other users about how the games, specifically Skyrim, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, how the dialogue is over-expository and doesn't let the player feel for anything that's happening. The repetitive nature of the gameplay tends to overshadow any emotions captured, if any at all. Being an artist yourself and since video games are a visually interactive experience, how would you go about visually improving the tone and feel for games that gloss over things like there is a dragon who literally wants to eat the world flying around or radiation threatens to destroy what little of humanity is left? How would you convey the horror of that these games so often miss for the sake of expanding their audience to kids? Should we expose kids to this sort of thing if we want the games to be more horrific?

2) What, to you, is the scariest thing you can think of and how, if at all, do you think that could be added to the storyline of a video game to make playing it a disturbing, and therefore emotionally stirring, and therefore kick-ass, experience?

2) What is your favorite art style and how would you like it incorporated into a game? Are there any specific games out there that meet your standard when it comes to visually telling a story?

That's pretty much it. Like I said, I was asking other users questions and I needed to make room for them, hence the few questions, but if you could take the time to answer them, I would be eternally grateful. As a thank you gift, I could shoot more people to your stories if you want. When the piece is completed and published, I will post it here. And as a personal favor, here is a short story I recently posted that hasn't gotten any reviews yet. I would love for you to take a look. http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:518100

Anyway, Happy New Year and hope to hear from you soon.

Madman97 (talk) 05:59, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again!
This was just what I needed! I thought your answers were very interesting and they will definitely be helpful in crafting the piece I want! I am obligated to tell you that I write my blogs as a character rather than myself, so the way I will ask you these questions will be different, but they will still be in the same context and I will not change your responses in any way. Just don't want you to be super shocked to see it that way. But once more, thank you so much for helping out. I'll post the final product here when I'm finished.

Happy New Year.

Hey there Banning,

I just wanted to bring some attention to my contest http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:The_Koromo/Creepypasta_Wiki_Song_Contest,_Part_2. I'd love to see what you think, and if you would enter! It's all up to you though. Thanks! --Jojo risin&#39; (talk) 03:03, January 1, 2016 (UTC)

The Project is Complete
I just want to extend my personal thanks again to you for your contribution to this project, and I will leave it here to read at your liesure. I warn you now, it's a long blog, almost a quasi-podcast of sorts, but I have divided it up into specific sections where each person interviewed is featured, so if you want to skip right ahead to where you're at, that's fine, but I recommend enjoying the entire thing if you have the time. Thanks for making this possible!

In Torment 4- First Three Chapters
Hello, Banning. I have just published the third chapter to In Torment 4 to the Writer's Workshop. Since I intend for this to be a very shocking inclusion to the series (only one more story after this, and the series is over), I of course would like reviews on these early chapters of the story. Since your series acted as a later influence for the series and you have been one of the main critics for the series this entire time, offering advice and tips on each story, I was wondering if you would review these three chapters, and help the development of the story with your opinions on it. Thank you for reading.

Re: I'll be more than happy to
Your situation is certainly a tough one, but the best route of action I can suggest is making sure, that if you intend to leave this job, you have a perfectly assured job already lined up and ready to put you to work. I suggest filling some applications in well-paying jobs that you might be more comfortable with. If you have to struggle with this job you hate for a bit longer to make sure you have stable income for your family, as you have, it can only reinforce the fact you've shown to be a caring and worrying father and husband. Though you just took this job up, and it may seem unprofessional to leave it so early, you mental health is a worry you have to mind as well.

As for the chapter reviews, don't even think on it until you're certain you have the free time and ability to read them. If you don't get the chance to review the chapters, it's no worry at all. There will always be post-launch of the story. Text isn't going anywhere.

As for your requested review, I have left my review on Tobit: From Love Comes Damnation. I wrote quite a bit down, except in the small chapters. I tried to touch on the plot as much as I could, as that's the most important thing in a series.

Best of luck with your situation. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 07:13, January 19, 2016 (UTC)

Review
Hi Banning. Hope all is well.

I dropped by to let you know I'll start reviewing your latest story this weekend. I'm terribly sorry it took so long. You know how things go, life gets in the way sometimes.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to finally getting around and reviewing the story. MrDupin (talk) 16:29, January 19, 2016 (UTC)

In a rush...
I have to make this really quick. I don't have much time to explain the situation. Maybe if I have time, or if you request for one, I'll be able to give you a proper gist of the whole story.

Can you put my wordmark voting blog stuff up to the staff blogs page?

Your reply with of my greatest pleasure. Thank you for taking time to read this hasty piece of crap.

Thanks for the props
Thanks for the props on my "Cheech and Chong" story. It meant a lot, seeing as you are regarded as one of the site's best authors. So, thanks (I plan to check out your Tobit stories in the next day or so. I hear it's excellent).

Review
Hi Banning. I just finished my review of your latest Tobit story. It was a great read, thanks. MrDupin (talk) 01:29, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

Just read your story
I just read (and listened to) your story Secret Bar, and I'm telling you this:

You are fucking awesome.

The reason why I didn't post this in the comments' section of your story is because I really wanted you to see this. I want my message to be the first thing you'll see when you pop in. Because a) it's a praise (no one dislikes an honest praise) and b) you deserve it. Yay, take a shot of "Joy" mate.

And maybe you noticed that I said I "listened to your story." Yes, I did; thank you MrCreepyPasta for that one. I was so damn thankful he narrated your story. And here's the thing: good writing, plus fantastic narration, plus perfect sound editing, plus provoking visuals... equals nightmare.

And by "nightmare," I mean it literally.

I was completely shitting my pants at the climax, when the protagonist knows about those secrets. That's what really got me. And the bartender guy (that might have been a good substituted for Joker, I must say) added to the tension. The woman smoking away her life, the goth (?) being cut to death, the creature with black skin...

Blockbuster perfection.

By the end of the story, I was utterly speechless. Not because I'm so impressed; it's because I was so terrified (yeah, I was impressed too, much, but what overwhelmed me was the fear). When I got myself back together, I was murmuring things like "Fuck you MrCreepyPasta... fuck you Banning... fuck you creepypasta community," and I wasn't even aware of it! And to add insult to injury, it was night.

Of course, I had nightmares (of which I'm not interested to tell you), and I regretted the idea of listening to your story. Yeah, the story was great, but it cost me my sleep. Sorry if you're offended, not meant.

All in all, the pasta was amazing, and MCP's voice was state of the art quality. And when combined, it's like an atomic bomb: devastating. I really had a great (not-so) experience, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your pastas. Keep writing thought-provoking stories like Secret Bar and you'll end up as the future H.P. Lovecraft.

Stay awesome, bro. (Sorry for my sloppy writing. It's night right now as I type this and really scary — so dark out there — and I still feel my mind racing after listening to the MCP narration... so yeah, pardon me. I could've written a much better review had I not been too crippled by your story. I think that's it. Bye.)

 Ruckus Q uantum   18:22, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Banningk1979 I have a question. Well I have two questions. The first one is: Do I post my requests in a forum, or do I just talk to the athourities of this wiki? And my second question is based on the first question. I would like to have my account deleted since it seems rather complicated to do things here. Everything is cool and all, and I like it, but I have little to no understanding of anything in this wiki. I have written down two stories so far, but one of them I scraped due to the story not really being scary. Plus I have no idea how to save my stories for later editing and changes, and it just seems complicated. There's a lot to do for this and a lot to do for that and it's just a bit too complicated for me to handle. If you could answer these questions that would be great.

New story
Banning, I have a new pasta to show you. Here it is, and if you may, please give it a critique. I'd be really glad.

Pasta review request
Hi Banning, I have a pasta out on the WW and I would be so grateful if you could check it out for me.

I finished the current installments of the Tobit series recently and just wanted to say I loved it! For love and hot chocolate is one of my favourite pastas on the site! Keep writing bro.

In Torment 4
Hello, Banningk1979. I just wanted to let you know that In Torment 4 is finally done, and I was wondering if you'd be able to check it out and leave a review. Thanks for reading. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 09:50, March 9, 2016 (UTC)

Also, as an added note, I'm going to be making a blog post (likely tomorrow) which gives a full rundown of the In Torment lore since you've stated it was too complex, or simply not told properly (which I also tried to do better with new lore in this story). It will spoil just about everything, so I recommend that you do read the story first. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 09:54, March 9, 2016 (UTC)

Backlog
I just wanted you to know that it'll be a while before I can review the new Tobit story. I haven't had a lot of time to read stories on here lately, so it's taking me a long time to get through another story I'm reviewing. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. "My pasta's up. ~hears crickets chirping from my account~ Hello?" ;-) Take care! Raidra (talk) 03:24, March 14, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, man.

Could you check my new and updated story on the writer workshop to see if it's at the standard?

Thank you

TaylorAJTaylor (talk) 15:40, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Banning, can I get some help from you? I just posted a link on my user blog, but it isn't embedded. Can you help me out with that? I'd appreciate it!

Yo Brother
Just checking in to see how you've been man. I'm guessing you're still busy as hell with that new job. Hope it's still treating ya well. I'm gonna have to give that newest addition to the Tobit series a read before too long. Have a good one.

Jay Ten (talk) 13:25, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

Progress made
I just wanted you to know that I have the latest Tobit story pasted to a word file so I can read/review it. I apologize for it taking so long. I know you asked me a couple of weeks ago... or maybe it was a couple months ago. Actually, I think you asked me back in 1992. However, I have a favor to ask. Since it may take me a while to get through it (I've been limiting my computer time lately), could I correct any typos section by section (instead of all at once like I've been doing), and then post my review when I'm all done? Raidra (talk) 00:21, April 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm going to go ahead and do it one or two sections at a time. I'll save my feedback until I'm all done. Okay, time to get started! Raidra (talk) 00:01, April 22, 2016 (UTC)

First off, I’m so glad that Lacy ate it! At the same time, I can understand Lena’s sorrow about it. I have to wonder how Lacy's parents will react since they thought she was killed years ago. I also think it’s funny how this mystical group communicates via email. Your pick for leader of The Unwashed was a great choice. I didn’t need the Delphia sex scenes, but they were well-done and I can understand why you included them. Man, this talk of questionable sexual encounters makes me miss Prince all over again (a reference to “Little Red Corvette”).

When I found out about the amulet’s secondary effect I thought, “Shoot, it’s a good thing Trevor didn’t use that amulet!” While flipping through the channels one time I came across an episode of American Dad in which they were doing a play, and Patrick Stewart noted, “I still don't know whether this is a comedy or a tragedy.” Likewise I still don’t know whether Gregory is a brilliant strategist or a huge jerk. Right now he seems like a heartless a-hole. He isn’t seeming too bright either. The fact that they had his apartment prepared already, and the fact that Pinky indicated they have plans for him, doesn’t ring any warning bells? Shoot, that’s how Lance started, and he was really a prisoner whose death was celebrated. Dude, I think you’re being played, you soulless twat! It may turn out that this is all part of some plan, but right now Gregory can go to the Red Star.

The fact that Pinky (the Delphia welcoming committee?) made Delphia sound like a paradise on earth is reminiscent of a lot of real-life terror groups and cults- ISIS (touts a paradise where people will be accepted and free while committing rapes and beheadings), the KKK (promises a white paradise and pure America where women will be protected while burning down occupied houses and committing vile acts against women), communist dictatorships (like North Korea, where people are starving to death and being tortured while the leaders live in luxury), Warren Jeffs and his band of monsters (Oh, I could go on and go reviling this bunch!), and, as you pointed out, Jim Jones. The fact that the people at the meetings are always so fear-filled betrays what kind of place it really is. Timothy is awesome. “Timothy had been given the chance to wind up to a fevered pitch, and although his lungs were screaming in agony at the force being applied to them, although his starved muscles screamed for relief from standing, Timothy would continue.” Beautiful.

On a technical standpoint, I think you’re getting better about run-on sentences. I think with every story you make fewer grammatical errors. Good job! Raidra (talk) 00:19, April 24, 2016 (UTC)

2412 E Cochran Rd

--Mmpratt99 deviantart (talk) 21:05, April 27, 2016 (UTC)

Proposal something...
Hey Mr. Kaleb Banning Kellum*. I have a proposal to make. I'll make this very brief and concise so I wouldn't miss any points.

We need another Writer's Lounge interview to happen, that is. The idea came out of nowhere, really, but I thought it might be relevant to the site. Another author. The last interview — with Paul Tremblay, if I remember correctly — was like several months ago, and IMO it's getting pretty old. The Writer's Lounge has barely had any good content in it for YEARS, and it needs some improvement. You know... more interviews, AMAs and the stuff.

The admins should conduct another author interview, tl;dr. That's the primary point. Well, I don't mind if I'll be the interviewer, but if this ever happens, I'd smile heartily and say "no, thank you. I'm too low of a human being to host such prestigious event."

But... I know one author that deserves one. The beast that penned the grisliest, dirtiest and the best NSFW stories in the site. Guess, Kaleb, who might this person be?


 * I actually found the "Kaleb" part when I googled your username a week ago. Don't accuse me, blame Google for leaking your unknown first name. I was just curious!

(Don't trust Google.)

Family situation
I just wanted you to know that I got some bad news today, so I won't be able to review any stories for a while. Thank you for your understanding. Raidra (talk) 00:31, May 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I certainly appreciate that. Best wishes to you too. Raidra (talk) 00:39, May 12, 2016 (UTC)

Here’s the update/explanation. Recently my mom has had to deal with a left big toe that refused to heal. Yesterday she went to a wound specialist. They had her stay at the hospital while they did some tests. It turned out that the bone was infected, and last night they told us the options weren’t good. This afternoon they removed the toe. To quote a line from a Family Guy scene I came across while flipping through the channels, “Had better days, Lois. Had better days.” Luckily the surgery went well, and we’re optimistic her recovery will go well too. We’re thankful because things could be a lot worse. I won't be doing any heavy work on the wiki for a while, but I can still converse with my friends. Thank you again for your understanding and well wishes. Raidra (talk) 03:38, May 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Mom was released from the hospital today. She isn’t feeling the best right now due to the antibiotics, but she’s able to walk as long as she puts her weight on her heel, and my aunt and I are here to help. She had a lot of good nurses (most of which were male, interestingly enough) and a lot of well-wishers during her hospital stay, so that’s good. We appreciate everyone who’s given their support. Raidra (talk) 00:08, May 17, 2016 (UTC)

Re: good news
Thanks again! Here's some more good news. Her health has improved since she first got home. She felt uneasy yesterday, but she's felt better today, and she's getting around pretty well. We're hoping she'll be able to attend my nephew's high school graduation on Saturday. Like you said, family first.

I've shared the comments people have made and she appreciates all the well wishes. Best wishes to you too. :-) Raidra (talk) 01:40, May 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * Today Mom had a follow-up appointment. Thankfully the doctor said it’s healing well and she didn’t have to walk on her heel anymore. She has another appointment next week, and the doctor thinks he can take the sutures out then. Raidra (talk) 00:20, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

Dear, Mr. Banningk,

Can you please put spongecry.avi on the Trollpasta wiki.

Thx

Pooker

Here’s some more good news- Mom had her stitches removed today. Thankfully her recovery has gone well, and hopefully it will continue to.

Also, for what it's worth, I agree with Pooker about "Spongecry.avi". Raidra (talk) 00:05, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Reviews
Thanks. Since, thankfully, things are going so well, I think I can start reviewing stories again. Just remember that even before this I took my time with reviewing (one or two sections at a time), so it would take some time for me to review anything. Thank you again for your patience. Best wishes to you and yours. :-) Raidra (talk) 03:07, June 4, 2016 (UTC)

Is This Story Ok?
So, I've recently posted a story to the Writer's Workshop called "PSA: Demon Summoning" (found here: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:542899). Now, unlike most of Creepypasta stories/poems I've written, this one is manly comedic. Like, it's mainly a joke written around summoning a demon. Now, this is called the Creepypasta Wiki, not the Comedypasta Wiki (though a Comedypasta Wiki would be kind of cool), so I was wondering if a story like this would be ok to post here. And, if not here, where?

The Goddamn Dorkpool (talk) 12:56, June 14, 2016 (UTC)

Good report
Mom went to her appointment today and they were impressed by her recovery. The site of amputation had healed well enough that they removed the bandage. She had been seeing the podiatrist every week, but he likes her improvement so much that her next appointment is in eight weeks. She’s going to visit someone to make her a special shoe insert. We’re blessed that her recovery has gone so well, and that there have been so many people asking about her well-being. :-D
