Could take a peek at a story
Hello Sir, If you are able, could you take a look a story of mine. It is my longest to date, but I spent a significant amount of time cutting away unnecessary plot devices into something much more streamlined. I am just concerned that because I am treading very familiar territory within this genre, I am hoping for another pair of eyes to ensure I took this story in a fresh direction. Another Kind of Evil

BTW Darkness was great. The reveal moment you experience in the end, that is exactly the feeling I am hoping my reader will achieve in my stories. KillaHawke1 (talk) 15:41, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

Quote 'Contest'
It might be easier to just get a backlog of quotes to use rather than police a contest and deal with spam/inapplicable comments. I'll talk to the others, but I really can't see much point and would rather just accept suggestions than organize an event for it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 17:23, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

Review
Thank you for taking the time to review my story. You gave me some idea, but I think I need to mature a bit as a writer. I actually didn't write my first story until last month. I mean, I have never written a story in my life (other than school, but that was a long, long, time ago). So, this newly discovered passion is really something I am enjoying. I plan to revisit this story in a year and see what I can do to it.

I was hoping you would be able to take a peek at my Cherubs Trilogy. There is absolutely no rush and only if you have availability. These are my first stories where I use dialogue with self and another person. I think you will see some improvement with character development. Parts 1 and 2 have been submitted and part 3 is now in WW.

Again, there is no hurry and only is your workload permits take care and thank you Cherubs: Part 1 Cherubs: Part 2 http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:507041 KillaHawke1 (talk) 17:44, October 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hi. This is Lacopiean90 I wrote The Camden Hospital for the Mentally Ill, and I saw you deleted it. I'm not mad at all or anything for it but, I saw you said it's a wall of text. Could you just tell me what that is and how I can avoid it next time? Thanks.

Thank you for pointing out the typo. As for the signature, that is due to the fact that those stories were uploaded prior to the name change. If you want to update them, that'd be great, but I'm also fine with them the way they are. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 16:11, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

Re: JtK Contest
Yes, I did indeed see it a couple days after you sent it. I realized that due to the sheer amount of entries, it wouldn't be exactly easy to review each one individually in my in-depth style if I wanted to get them out on time. So, although I haven't reviewed them yet, I have been going through them and I will be done before the end of the judging period. AGrimAuxiliatrix1 (talk) 21:06, November 8, 2015 (UTC)

Hello MrDupin. I have just uploaded the latest story in the In Torment series, Oceanic, to the wiki.

Questions for JTK Judge
hi MrDupin I just wanna say good job judging the JTK contest. Huge JTK fan and I cant wait to see the winners even though its a little disappointing I didnt get to enter. I had questions which i dont think you saw for judges, could you please answer. 1 will there be 3 JTK stories on the wiki after this contest, it says so in contest rules and 2 will there be a contest for Eyeless Jack because I have an idea for a EJ rewrite. Could I make an EJ contest?

Poll Site
Hello MrDupin. I know you gave some reasons for using easypolls.net and I dont want to keep bringing it up, but has easypolls.net caught all cheating and prevented people from seeing results enough that you would use it again? like I said in the contest comments it didnt work for me at first, so I want to know how likely it is you would use another site like polldaddy.com (whihc worked no problem for me) in the future, because I hope to be able to vote with less hassle in other contests

Edit Underscorre has answered this but I cant delete it

Rekya1994 (talk) 07:11, November 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * I dont want to talk about this too much more if you arent changing the site, but are you not paying 2.99 or something for easypolls.net? Rokklagio said you paid for extra poll stuff on the website, so actually it isnt free and again I dont see the advantage.


 * Rekya1994 (talk) 12:58, November 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * But when I looked for reasons you chose this poll site earlier I found a post in the comments of http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Underscorre/Jeff_the_Killer_Rewrite_Contest! which said you can see where votes are coming from. how can you do that without paying? And again if youre paying theres no advantage.


 * Rekya1994 (talk) 13:46, November 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * I was using Chrome, I don't know the version. Also when I said "no advantage" I meant that premium easypolls has no advantage over polldaddy, not that it has no advantage over regular easypolls because if you look at the website it does have added benefits and if you have to use easypolls anyway you may as well pay for easypolls premium


 * Rekya1994 (talk) 15:53, November 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * Forget it actually, if youre not changing it then fine, Im done arguing it. Disappointing and I guess Ill have to go through hassle for the next contest but whatever

RE
Hey there, good buddy. So nice to hear from you.

Yeah, I've been writing a lot.

I wrote a magical realism story I'm still polishing up. I've written a couple dark and disturbing pieces I was thinking about posting to the site, but I've got them sent out to lit journals and lit contests right now--wish me luck. Most of all I've been working on polishing my novel up, I'm sending out queries right now to literary agents, I've had a few positive responses. If you are really interested I could send you copy of a story or two to check out.

I'm taking a class right now on Bizzaro fiction. Ever heard of it? It's a newer literary genre where the weird and bizarre are used as metaphors. Google it. That novel I shot in that blog would be a good example of it: James Keaton's The Last Projector, a great book. When the holidays die down and I get some free time I'm hoping to finish up my sequel to the Gym Teacher, which I have begun, called The Substitute Teacher.

A Christmas contest, huh? Sounds fun, I'll have to check it out.

How's things in Athens going? Read anything good lately?

Policy Change or Just an Exception?(Jeff Style Stories)
Dear MrDupin: Hi!

Thank you for replying on my thread! (You know, the one titled: Is It Really a Good Idea to Bring Jeff Back?) And I understand the logic of your argument.

The only thing I'm worried about is: does this mean that creepypasta.wiki will begin to accept new "Jeff style" stories?

Frankly, I'm one of those who applauded the decision to remove JtK and to ban most of these cliche "Abused Killer Kids" stories. I'm one of the admins for a Chinese internet community aimed at translating and writing creepypasta story (not a wikia site though), and I did my best to persuade memebers of my community to follow up on some of creepypasta.wiki's site rules & principles, including the opposition to over-cliche stories.

Now, many creepypasta fans around me seems to see the new JtK story as a message that creepypasta.wiki is returning to the old days of Killer stories, and the ban on new "Jeff style" stories will be removed very soon.

I believe it is neccesary to hear the official voice (that means, the opinion of an creepypasta.wiki admin) on this issue. Is the return of JtK (modified, but with the same main idea) a individual incident, aimed at restoring one of the site's classics? Or does it mean that there'll be a real change in the site's policy?

I'm looking forward to your reply--and thanks! :)

Re:
To be honest, I really feel like this micro pasta has been done a number of times before (I even did it myself in my compilation) so the premise feels a bit overused. I think this might be one of those situations where the story really needs to be fleshed out as a lot of people have covered this premise in flash fiction form.

RE Story
That's not a wall of text, that's a montage! Lol. Yeah, it's intentional. A lot of authors will end stories with huge montages like this and I decided to give it a go. I know it's not something you see in creepypasta but I'm pushing the boundaries of this art form! I'm actually pretty proud of the montage, and feel it redeems some of the sillier aspects of the story. Thanks for noticing, though, and pointing it out to me. Also, thanks for not just assuming it was a mistake and going and trying to divide it up. Of course I'd love to hear you thoughts on this story. There are lots of jokes and Easter eggs in it. A Noel in Black. Seasons Greetings, good buddy! HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 17:37, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Edits
I guess you've never watched Jersey Shore or watched Martin Scorcese films like Raging Bull, lol. "You'se" is a trashy way of saying "you" used often by--but in no way exclusively by--Italian Americans. I suppose you are also not inundated with terrible American Christmas Carols (lucky you) but that other edit was to a song which goes, "Grandma got run over by a reindeer walking home from my hose Christmas Eve," by adding on "on" you are throwing the rhythm Of the melody off. See Jay's rape deer version at my blog--a truly brutal parody. Good eye with the Ghost of Christmas Past, though, and thanks for reading, good buddy!

 * Hey, sorry for not responding to your last couple of messages, I've been unable to be anywhere near as active as normal recently :/


 * Anyway, that poll system sounds pretty cool - what language would it be written in? Would you be happy to pay for the hosting/domains (assuming it would be part of something larger you're working on) or would we have to pay for it?


 * With regards to the writer's showcase rules, I don't really think that's necessary, the rules describe pretty explicitly what the thread should include, which to me gives the impression that other stuff should not be included. Then again, if people have been posting stories in the threads regularly, it might be an idea to make it more explicit (I haven't really been keeping up to date with the forums recently)

RE:
Hey Dupin,

These look really great, I'm sure they could come in very useful.

I know this is awkward, but is there any way they could be implemented with JavaScript instead of PHP? If it's too much hassle, I'll happily port them myself, given the source. I only ask because if they were implemented in JavaScript they could be actually implemented in-Wikia, instead of externally.

Thanks again :)

Title Question
Mr. Duplin, I saw you edited my story titled 'Survival is in the mind' and suggested I changed the name. I changed the name again, but still got asked to change the name once more. The story has since been deleted; not a problem, I am unsure as to what was missing or wrong with the title? I didn't receive advise on why the title needed changing.

We were actually talking about this earlier. I didn't think they were going to put it into effect until much later and we had a bit more time to discuss it. Wiki is making some changes to the user rights and giving certain classes the ability to delete comments/forum posts (I believe). Really, I think we can trust you with the responsibility as you've been pretty active on the wiki and shown good judgement. That being said, feel free to ask us if you have any questions or are unsure of what this upgrade does/allows. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 22:31, January 16, 2016 (UTC)
