Re: Re: Thanks
Yes! I did happen to notice that last night, and I'm working on a story for it now actually. Thanks for all your help, glad to hear you want more from me as do I from you! Can't wait to get back into writing! Will you be entering the contest too?

No problem
I personally liked the story a lot and can't imagine Grey having an issue with adding her name. But I also understand you wanting to wait to get her okay before attaching her name.

Just let me know when you're ready to move it over to the main site so I can add it to the offical list of contest entries.

Yeah, I saw that almost as soon as I sent you the message. I added it to the contest entries list. Best of luck, and thanks for entering!

Update and request
Hey dude! I just wanted to let you know that I recorded Boulder City Prison, but it's going to be part of a showcase and I have no idea when it's going to come out.

I also recently submitted a story to the Writer's Workshop, I was wondering if you could give it a read and provide some feedback? http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:473417

Much appreciated as always.

RE: Video
Hey Vroom,

Do you mean the fact that it's displaying a placeholder with some garbled text instead of the video? 'Cause that's a pretty easy fix, as it stands the issue is that the file link is broken. If that's what you're referring to, let me know and I'll get that fixed for you. If you mean something else (i.e: you want it positioned in a certain way), could you be a bit more specific about how you want it to look?

Thanks, 23:10, June 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * In the file link, you've used underscores where you should have used spaces. Currently, your code in the gallery is " " (without the quotes), when it should be " " (again, without the quotes). From what I can tell, that should fix it. 23:19, June 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, you fixed it before I finished my message, lol. Glad to see you've got it working. 23:21, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

Story Entry
I've finished reading your story, It's pretty good. I'd recommend running through the workshop once before you post it, however, as there are a few grammatical mistakes here and there. Good luck on your entry! I'd better get back to writing mine :)

RE:
Hahahaha, thank you for the warm reinstatement welcome! I didn't expect it.

Nah, I actually enjoy a lot being an Administrator. If it hadn't been because I needed to focus on college I'd have stayed an Administrator. After all as a hope-to-be-novelist I need to stay immersed in stories and literature, even if a lot of things here can't really be called the highest standards in literature.

I intend to be around for quite some time, so if you ever need anything don't think twice about messaging me!

Leaving that aside, heh, I definitely recommend you check the When They Cry series, although...watching it may not be the best verb for it. After all the anime adaptations are kind of infamous, since they cut a lot of things and one even ruined the mystery by having some quite misleading moments.

If you're interested on checking them out I think you should go for the visual novels (or a Let's Read of them, I know one that's complete and has literally every line available), or if you can't, the manga. There are two different series, which are When the Cicadas Cry and When the Seagulls Cry. I specially recommend that second one, that's where my avatar came from.

Editing
Just thought I would help you out, since you edit a lot. When you see a page with coding errors, open the editing window in a new tab, highlight the story from the non-editing tab, copy and paste it into the editing tab. Then go back to the non-editing tab, and click "edit" (yes, opening two editing tabs at the same time) and search the editing tab with the coding errors for headers, italics, or bold by using ctrl+f. Then add the headers, italics, and bold the same way they appear in the editing tab with coding errors. Also, if there's any pictures on the page, that would be the time to copy and paste them over to the editing tab without coding errors. That should save you some time, if you're ever fixing coding errors.

I see. I'll try writing some other samples or summaries of other pastas I want to write. I want to finish the main pasta because I'd hate to leave something I started unfinished. Sometimes, ideas come to me at completely random times so hopefully this will happen sometime soon. I did have this one idea for a pasta that would basically pay homage to Are You Afraid of The Dark?

Hey Vroomie. As you might know, I'm pestering everyone to read my newest pasta The Cat. Cats are what I like best and this story really means lots to me as I spent ages on thinking up of the idea. Give it a shot, my good friend?

 * Thanks for reading it and adding it to your favourites. Really appreciate it. As with the writing, the cat's body is that of a dead cat, thus if you think about it, cannot be programmed to write. The creep controller was writing the notes, then somehow getting the cat to put it next to his pillow. With the murder weapon, I did think that one through first, but I decided that would be up to reader interpretation. I guess the murderer wanted to watch the guy for a while before killing him, but regarding whose blood was on the knife, that's up to you to decide.
 * Glad you enjoyed it, and if I happen to write something good again, I'll inform you.

I got something!
"Much to my surprise, not only had Erika emerged from the basement, but my brother had come upstairs as well. They started to ask me why I was screaming and I told them about what I saw." It may not be much now, but it seems like a breakthrough! I read through my whole story again and along the way, I corrected a few spelling errors. I think I should read through my whole story more often!

Thank you so much for nominating my pasta for PoTM. I mean, it's up against some seriously harsh contestants this august; geez, I had a look at the nominations page, and I saw 'My Grandpa Suffered From Dementia', 'Ad Nauseam, Ad Mortem, Ad Infinitum' and 'Forgotten Valentine'.

So I just noticed that there are 100 sections on my talk page. You know what that means! Pee Wee Herman is going to talk to you about drugs while doing drugs in his drug inspired home! Nah... But wouldn't that be awesome though? Anyway, my talk page needs to be cleaned up and archived. I'm on my tablet at the moment and have no access to a desktop computer. On mobile devices, the site tends to crash or basically make the device explode if you try and archive with it. I was wondering if you could archive the page for me. If not, could you find someone to do the job?

 * Thanks. It's the same seductive color combination; it's the secret to success.


 * I'm not a particularly avid fan of anime, I'm just watching Snk/Aot as it's on netflix and I don't want to waste my monthly quota. Although already, I do quite like it, seventeen episodes in. I haven't watched much anime other than that; got school and exams and things. I've watched Death Note, and I thought it was quite interesting. I've also watched some horror anime (Higurashi and Umineko), and I recommend it; the plots are quite good, and the supernatural stuff is freaky. I might check out the ones you recommended, as some anime is good, but others are just kidshit (if you know what I'm talking about).


 * Oh yeah, and I get attracted to anime girls super easily (I've already had a mental affair with Mikasa over Annie)!!


 * Let's discuss this in more detail. Anime is an interesting thing. I just feel like some Japanese stuff is super strange though, and it shows in anime, lol.

Imma Stuck! HELP!
I've had a chance to work on my pasta and here's the latest version of it: http://pastebin.com/UiVCk9gd

By the way, I gotta roadblock. So after the part where I describe the family moving in, I want the girl to talk to her mom about the move. But I don't know how the girl will feel about the move. On the one hand, she can get excited about learning a new culture, exploring the land, and discovering animal species she hadnt seen in America. On the other hand, she can be anxious about not being familiar with the laws and language and fearing that she won't fit in with other people in the country.

Reply to "She's excited" message
Hmm... Seems like it could work. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the former because I thought it really wouldn't add anything scary or sad to the episode. But now that you've explained it in that way, it kind of makes a bit more sense why that choice would be good. I talked to Koromo about it and she votes for the latter where the episode protagonist is anxious about the move. So I got one vote for former and one for the latter. Now I'll wait for the other people I asked this question to respond.

Hailey Sawyer (talk) 01:26, July 19, 2015 (UTC)Hailey SawyerHailey Sawyer (talk) 01:26, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

The results so far!
So it seems that I have 2 votes for the girl being nervous and 1 vote for the girl being excited. (Note: Results may change soon.) So far, the latter beats out the former which is a bit surprising really.

Reply to "Good Idea" message
Yeah I think moving on and I might go with the former since I think the latter might make the story a bit clichéd which is what I'm trying to subvert or avoid. I can see where the people who say the latter is a better idea though. There's only so long you can wait for feedback on a detail in a pasta. If we're talking about R. L Stine, usually when he writes a story about a family moving to a new place, the main character is nervous, angry, or indifferent to the move. Since the Haunting Hour is based on some of his works albiet it very loosely, I think it makes sense for the former to make it into the story.

LUCAS THE PERVY DRUNK CAT  ➾ babe let’s get high together ➾  06:43, July 23, 2015 (UTC)

Arigato Vroomo
Thanks for the feedback. I've been working on another story recently, and it's due to come out some time next week.

I don't know much Japanese (I studied it a few years ago before visiting Tokyo, but I've forgotten everything), but I am fluent in Chinese. And since Kanji are Chinese characters, here's some info on kanji which may make learning easier for you:

I'm quarter Chinese - my mom's dad is from Shanghai. Chinese is wholly characters and there are no letters to make sounds or words, but Japanese has Kanji and its own alphabet; hiragana and katakana.

All kanji are Chinese characters, but not all Chinese characters are used as kanji. The Japanese have substituted many words with their own alphabet instead (mostly verbs). Assuming you know the basics of how Japanese words work, here's some info on where Kanji comes from:

Chinese has two forms in writing - traditional and simplified. Most people use simplified, though some people (typically living in Hong Kong, or speaking Cantonese instead of mandarin) use traditional. Traditional is harder to write and there are more strokes, though most Chinese people can read both (but not write both). Unfortunately, Kanji uses mostly traditional Chinese characters, so you'll have to practise often if you want to remember them. The Kanji is written exactly the same as it is in traditional Chinese, but obviously pronounced in a different way.

The meaning is vaguely the same as the Chinese meaning, though sometimes there can be odd (and embarrassing) misinterpretations. Sometimes, Chinese people find Japanese names awfully hilarious, as the Kanji combination might sound funny in Chinese. If a Chinese person reads a Japanese newspaper, he may be able to understand about 75% from looking at the meaning of the Kanji in between all the other stuff.

When I went to Japan, I could read and understand nearly all the signs in the airport and shops, so it wasn't much of a problem at all. The only problem was that I couldn't talk to anyone - so I had to either use my dictionary or write my message down in Chinese and hope they could work it out.

Chinese characters (i.e. Kanji) originally developed from pictures. 走る - 'hashiru' means 'to run'. Doesn't the Kanji look a bit like a guy running with his arms sticking out? The first line in the character is the guy's arms, the second line his waist. You can see where his legs are. (Maybe the smallest line is his dick - you never know ;-) In Chinese, the Kanji part means 'to walk' instead. The meaning changes a little in the different languages.

Here's another one - 泳ぐ 'oyogu' means 'to swim'. In Chinese, the Kanji part means the same thing. The three 'water drops' on the left indicate that the word is something to do with water (or moisture). E.g. the Kanji characters for oil (油 - 'abura'), sweat (汗 - 'ase') and many more have this left component.

The word for rain (雨 - 'ame') does not have this component. But it kinda looks like raindrops on window panes.

The character for door/entrance (門), well you can see it looks like a gate of some sort.

If you see characters like this, learning Kanji will not only make more sense - it will be easier and more fun. Obviously some Kanji won't have a logical explanation as to why they look like that (i.e. 瓶 - 'bin' means 'bottle') but that's probably because they're made of phonetic parts or other reasons you'll learn as you discover more about the language.

Basically, don't be afraid of Kanji. Think of it as Chinese characters the Japanese use in their language for certain words to save the effort of writing pages and pages of hiragana. Good luck in your quest to master the language of the ''land of the rising sun. I''f you have any further questions on Chinese or learning to write Kanji, I'd be happy to help. But I know next to nothing about Japanese grammar and pronounciation or the alphabet, so I won't be of much use there.

Here's a brilliant book I used to learn a few bits of Japanese for my trip to Japan a few years ago. (It's a free pdf online) I only read the first and most basic parts, but there is more complicated stuff. It's great for grammar and learning a few new words too.

Here's another brilliant guide for learning Kanji I recommended to my friend. It does what I just did in this huge message - explaining each character in pictures. It is written by foreigners and especially aimed at learners like you. All 2300 characters commonly used are in there. If you learn only ten a day, it will take you less than a year to master all the Kanji you need for writing in Japanese.

 * Ah, anime. One learns much Japanese from anime.
 * My parents and grandparents are all kinda sceptical about letting me go to Japan; in fact, all Chinese people are (2nd sino-Japanese war) but I told them not to be racist bastards and let me go on my residential trip.


 * You should also go sometime. Japanese people are really polite and don't make fun of foreigners. I'm mostly European, so I have blue eyes. When I try to speak the language, they are welcoming and try to help sometimes.
 * If you want to move to Japan without studying too much Japanese, you could get a job as an English teacher. But I'd recommend waiting at least ten years before zipping off - many people make that choice without thinking. Don't become some sort of weeaboo - make sure you understand the culture and customs first.


 * All in all, good luck! Are you planning to learn for fun or actually do exams?

Interesting plotlines ..
Both have potential, but unless you're creating a series, make sure you don't make the two stories too similar.

I prefer the first plotline ever so slightly. if you're stuck on an ending, let me give you an idea - perhaps reveal why he was put in prison at the end. Make it something super disturbing, then use clues throughout the story to foreshadow the nature of his crime. You could make it something to do with the protagonist or his family... now that would be very unsettling. Whatever way you choose to end it, I feel like your plot builds a good foundation for a terrifying twist, and you should certainly use it to your advantage.

Let me have a look once you're finished!
