Mobile App
Hey, I’m just sending this message out to active bureaucrats. I am with Wikia’s Community Development team. The mobile app team recently developed a mobile app for the Creepypasta Wiki which is super exciting. You guys have total control over the app and you can edit it using the page Special:CuratedContent. I hope you don’t mind that I put a link to the app on your homepage. We’re trying to spread the word because more people using it means better traffic for you guys. If you guys do not like having that on your homepage you are totally welcome to take it down, we just thought it would be helpful. also: If you guys have any ideas on how to get more people using the app, we always appreciate hearing things like that. - Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 15:11, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

Hi,

I'd like to know specific reasons why my creepypasta The Other Face of Love was deleted. Thanks. Lofasisko (talk) 04:30, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

Hello again.

So, I noticed that you've been making numerous blog posts on writing creepypastas. If you have the time to and know how to, could you make a blog post on how to make a pasta that makes the reader feel paranoid? I am soon going to start making a pasta with that sort of scare, but need some help.

Thanks.

Creeper50 (talk) 21:35, October 7, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Thanks or the advice.

In the meantime, are there any active authors on this wiki who wrote stories that make you paranoid that I could ask for advice. Thanks.

In that case, update me if you think of anyone. Thanks.

Alright, so...
I've already gotten a few deviant art submissions, so... would you be interested in OK'ing this contest idea of mine? I'd like to do one for every month with a varying theme. This month would be agape for various reasons, next month might be japanese legends or whatever I happen to think of that might prove interesting. Honestly, this is to thin down my choices for nominations of POTM.

Much thanks, -The Meta (AMarbleHornet (talk) 23:24, October 8, 2015 (UTC))

Fair Enough
I suppose your reasoning for turning this down is sound enough. I'm not sure if I would consider the costume contest relevant to this particular contest, but I sadly accept. However, I will still accept submissions from dA and post them on here (accredited to the original writer, of course, and with their permission). As for the monthly contest thing, who is to say that I'd lose interest so easily? I rather like things to keep me going, and if I lose interest, then poof, it's gone. I guess I'll ask an admin every month for permission, then.

Creepy Art Contest
Hello! I finished judging for the Creepy Art Contest: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rinskuro13/CREEPY_ART_CONTEST_September_2015#comm-503052 which ends (the judging period) tomorrow and Rins judged one of the six entries, while That Damn Batman hasn't judged any yet. If I recall correctly, both of them said they were going to be busy with university in October, however, I'm starting to sweat it and was wondering what is going to happen if both of them don't finish judging. Am I supposed to create a blog announcing the winners in such a scenario? If that is the case then should I do it on the next Wiki day (an hour and 12 minutes from now)? When 10/10 rolls around on my timezone, I'll probably be gone for most or all of the day due to a family event that I'm being forced to go to, hence some of my concern on how this is all going to play out. Buckle up  I'm going to be popular  22:41, October 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks for the quick response. I can agree with that, I'll go ahead and leave a reminder about the contest on both of their talk pages just in case, because the judging date shifted a time or two. If there is no response in a couple of days, I'll try and check back in with you on either Monday or Tuesday. Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  23:02, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

A Story
MrDupin brought this to my attention, is Felix Visits Hawaii breaking any rules since it is from a book? I may have to remove my uploads from Dreamtigers by Jorge Luis Borges, since it's not that old compared to other works by authors on the wiki. I guess the copyright rule says that if something was published before 1977 and it was renewed, then it expires 95 years after the publish date. If it was not renewed then it enters the public domain.

 SoPretentious 02:30, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. I'll be removing the stories I uploaded from Dreamtigers since that author died in 1986.


 *  SoPretentious 02:49, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * It would seem to me that's the best rule to go by, since there's no way to tell if the copyright was not renewed (which that fact was mentioned on both sources; cornell and the one you provided) and that would be the only way the copyright would be expired.

Unfair
Despite the fact that what you wrote on my deletion appeal page was oozing with unneccessary attitude, I'm going to do my best to be civil about this.

What you wrote on my deletion appeal was unfair and you know it. Firstly, "bunching them all together and assuming they'd pass" is exactly what YOU told me to do. Just because they were uploaded and taken down (for vague, non-descript reasons, might I add) doesn't change their quality, which just a year ago you believed would be perfectly fine on a compilation page.

You go on to use the logic that, since my deletion appeal a year ago was denied, this one should be denied? I don't understand how that makes any sense since this is a whole new page that, again, you suggested.

The second half of your response is completely defensive, and only consists of you defending the quality of your stories. You use the logic that, since you held back certain stories, the ones you've posted must all automatically meet the criteria, but let's be honest, I did the same thing and that's not how it works.

Listen, I don't think your stories are bad by any means, even the very short one I mentioned. Personally, I think you're a great writer who, for the most part, has been very helpful/supportive with my writing.

What I want to know now is why you're being unfair towards my stories. Is it personal? Are you holding a grudge? I'm sorry if I was rude to you before. I'm sure I had my moments. But if this wiki is really dedicated to inspiring creative writing, can't you let that go and let my stories be accepted in the same way you believed they could a year ago? ColorlessAngelz (talk) 16:15, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Deletion Question
Hello! I'm a first time poster here on the Wiki and my story was deleted. It was named "Daniel Woke Up". Could you elaborate on the manner in which it did not reach the quality standards? My gut feeling is the wall of text issue, which I have fixed, but I wanted to check with you before I re-uploaded it. I have read the Quality Standards and the So-your-story-got-deleted page. Get back to me whenever you have the time. Thanks! TwitchyFromCreepypasta.org (talk) 16:48, October 11, 2015 (UTC)TwitchyFromCreepypasta.org

Why I'm Fighting This So Much
I want you, Underscorre, and every other admin to understand why I'm fighting so much for this one particular page.

For you guys, it's just one of countless pages that was created and deleted almost immediately, never to be looked at or considered again.

For me, it's the basis of my creativity on this wiki. As you may recall, I have a passion, almost an obsession, with making short stories AKA "micropastas." This stems from the challenge that comes with finding the perfect combination and placement of words that create a feeling of horror in such few sentences, and is so good it's still able to meet the quality standards on this wiki (at least it did back when I was active a year ago).

It took me eight months, and I still don't believe my individual stories were taken down for legitimate reasons, but I've accepted it enough to try and return to contributing to this wiki. The only issue is, since I know my stories were praised for their high quality, I know they deserve a spot on this wiki. That's where my micropasta collection page comes in. In order for me to move on, I need to know that when I make a great story, like I did in the past, it will go recognized on this wiki. The only way that'll happen is if that list is finally acknowledged for meeting the quality standards like you knew it would be a year ago.

Not only that, but that page is also what I will use for a lot of my future contributions to this wiki. Since it's a micropasta list, that page is where I'll be adding all my future micropastas, which will be the majority of my stories. If that page isn't accepted, then that will cut out not only the majority of my stories, but ultimately cause me to lose a lot of my creative drive, and discourage me from using this wiki once again.

Please understand that what I'm saying here comes from the heart. I am not trying to say I know better than all you admins, I'm simply explaining where I stand on this, and trying to plead my case as best I can. I hope you truly consider everything I'm saying here. Getting that page uploaded is my only hope for writing right now. ColorlessAngelz (talk) 17:27, October 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry to interfere, but you're not the only one who was in that case, but the others ended up dealing with it. Of course you take this at heart, but you can just retrieve the drafts of your pasta on Pastebin if I'm not mistaken, and you can make it better. There's only one way out; forward.


 * FrenchTouch (talk)

RE:
I was referring to this quote from my talk page:

"Ok, but I will say that having a compilation would give you a little more leeway in terms of overall quality (as you know, micro pastas are judged fairly stringently), which you can update with new stories as they come to you. However it's your choice. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:09, January 31, 2015 (UTC)"

This quote shows that you believe the quality of my stories would be more acceptable if they were grouped together.

However, you are right that it doesn't show that you guaranteed they would be accepted, so I'm sorry for misquoting you.

Now I want to ask you, putting all the past problems, arguments, and reuploads aside, do you think that my list of stories has enough quality to stay on this wiki? If so, I would like to have my deleted story appeal reconsidered, or if need be, I will type up another. As my previous message stated, this list is very important to me. ColorlessAngelz (talk) 17:44, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

My Micropasta Collection
Sorry, I didn't know about the "no reuploads even in an anthology" rule. If I had known, I would have gone through the deletion appeal right away.

With that said, I still believe my story compilation should be approved on the deletion appeal page. I am not the user who posted three bad stories and then tried to reupload them all tied together. I've uploaded great stories that just so happened to be too short to reach quality standards on their own. So in my case, adding them into an anthology actually makes sense, and should give them a solid chance at meeting the wiki standards.

I'll admit to the grammatical mistakes (such as "it's"). Some words I'm simply not used to. However, those can simply be fixed. That's no reason to take the list down. The time machine story isn't flawed, it simply takes a moment of thinking to understand. This story is intended to break the fourth wall, implying that the speaker came from only two days in our future, meaning the world is about to be engulfed by a black hole. If that's still not enough to meet that standards and wears on the overall quality of the list then fine, take it out, but it's still no reason to take down the whole list.

Lastly I want to bring up one last point. Though I don't want to risk sounding disrespectful, I feel I must in order to have a shot at you appealing my deleted story. The stories in your compilation do NOT all stand on their own. The story I mentioned, Pillow Talk (I loved how my wife used to wake me up by whispering sweet nothings into my ear every morning. I didn’t enjoy her pillow talk as much the day after her funeral.)  has a weak, cliche'd twist. In fact, the exact same "X does something familiar, X is revealed to no longer be around" twist is used in your "Living Alone" story (The worst part of living with roommates was hearing them moving around the house at all hours of the night. The worst part of living alone is still hearing those exact same sounds.) which would qualify it as using the same formula and thus worthy of deletion (like all the "using the Jeff the Killer formula" stories you admins deleted.

The reason I make this point isn't to hate on you, but I understand, given the situation I'm in, if it comes off that way. The reason I bring this up is to show you that it's acceptable to keep a group of stories around even if all of them don't stand on their own.

So now I ask, is there a way for me to appeal my story list? ColorlessAngelz (talk) 18:17, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Title Change for Casefile: 2Spooky
My short story "Casefile: 2Spooky" was recently marked for review relating to a title change, and I was told to ask an admin to change it when I figured out a new title.

After reading the provided links and such, I've edited a few things, but I was wondering what stood out to you as particularly bad in it, after this I'll probably take it to the writer's workshop.

My last message on this subject
I know that you admins don't wish to linger on this subject any longer, and I don't want to get banned again for "drama" so I'll make this my last message on the subject, as I was already halfway through typing out a message to you when my ban happened anyway.

I want to focus only on two points. You declined my deletion appeal for, in essence, the reason "it would be wrong for users to expect the quality of their stories to change just because they group them together" yet you, in essence, stated to me long ago that the quality of my stories "wouldn't be judged as harshly if they were on a list."

To me, your reason for denying my list sounds like a contradiction.

You alternatively brought up the point that in the past several admins gave their reasons for my micropastas not meeting the QS. What you didn't mention was that far more people believed these pastas to be great, and these pro-deletion reasons were brought up at the last second to defend the admin who deleted them all overnight, and most of which, if not all, were based around personal preference such as "personally the story didn't scare me" and therefore weren't legitimate criticisms of their quality.

That is why I feel your answer to my deletion appeal was unfair. Not only did my previous stories deserve to make the cut, but I added in new ones as well. If some stories fell short, they could just be taken out.

Despite this, I don't wish to linger on this. I just wanted to properly plead my case without an admin silencing me.

Instead, I want to humbly ask you for your help. I will create a thread in the Writer's Workshop to talk about, criticize and essentially fix my micropasta list. I will expand upon and alter it as necessary so that it doesn't count as a reupload, but I'll need some proper tips to get it done. That, and I'll need all the stories from the previously deleted list to copy/paste to the thread so others can view and criticize the list.

Could you link them to me?

Thank you ColorlessAngelz (talk) 21:09, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

Asking for criticism
How is it you decline my request to criticize my stories then, in the very same paragraph, claim to be dedicated to helping users improve the quality of stories on this site? The difference between now and when past "criticisms" (most of which were vague, rude comments that mainly consisted of "doesn't meet QS lol now don't argue") were offered to me is now I'm asking, in fact literally trying to make an entire thread, specifically for criticism on my list. Despite what you and a lot of other admins think I actually LIKE criticism. I enjoy getting input that will help me improve. The reason your, as well as many others, (legitimate or not) past criticisms may have been ignored is because they were surrounded by tons of drama with admins that made me skeptical of many peoples' intentions. Even now it's hard not to be paranoid, but I'm trying.

The reason I pointed out how bitter your answer to my deletion appeal was is because you literally spent half the review being defensive about your own stories, which may have been mentioned to make a point but was irrelevant to the quality (AKA the reason the stories in it were taken down) of my list. I want your assistance because I think you're a great writer. The fact that you, like several other admins on this site,dislike me doesn't change that.

If running it through deletion appeal is needed to avoid banning, but I've already tried, how should I go through with trying to get this done? Should I write an appeal for each individual story and simply state that when they're reuploaded that they'll be part of a list to make it better? Would that get approved? Would that count as submitting a deleted story appeal for the same story? I don't want to write an appeal if you think it'll just be declined, or get me in trouble. ColorlessAngelz (talk) 22:53, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
I just explained, twice, that I want criticism.

I truly, in every way, shape and form, want criticism, both positive and negative. I don't care if all you have to offer is what's wrong with the stories.

I. Want. To. Improve.

Ignoring what I have to say here and refusing to help me really isn't helping your "I'm not angry" case.

I created the thread on writer's workshop. If you ever want to stop by and offer your advice, big or small, feel free. ColorlessAngelz (talk) 23:46, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

is it because i used prypyat as a scene? did i use a cliche

RedP99 (talk) 19:53, October 19, 2015 (UTC)

the italics were ment to set a scene sorry about that, also i could've sworn i hit italic on some words and then it switches to regular text like i hit comma one time in my story then space it just stopped.(the italics were not on when i was typing.

on the punctuation however thanks for pointing that out, i need to fix that and i have the story you took down saved so im going to go spell check,puncuation check,yada yada

im going to see if i can fix it and have time to post it to here (typing on a keyboard is quick but damn sometimes it takes a awhile)

Good sir,

My name is demonJeff. I posted the story "The Legend of Suicide Hall" not too long ago. It has come to my attention that it was deleted. As you are a administrator, I figured you knew why it was deleted. If it was you that deleted it, then please note, that story was written by my sister. I let her use my profile for a story for a b-day present. So now that it was deleted, she has been crying herself to sleep. I guess she read some other stories... Also, if you would like to make a story with me, I am open to suggestions. My email is garmadan@verizon.net so you may send me a story or vice versa. Hope to hear from you soon! From, your creepy pal, --DemonJeff (talk) 23:48, October 20, 2015 (UTC)demonJeff

Wait... third story? demonJeff P.S Can we work together? I love your stories!

If you could please tell me what the Baby Cradle had that did not keep it up to quality standards: was it not scary? Not suspenseful? Not... what? Tell me please so I can change in the future. demonJeff P.S Now my sister hates me because of the story deletion. I understand the Suicide Hall incident, but the Baby Cradle? Why? P.P.S Please work with me!--demonJeff

So. You already have a series. Well, I have one too! It's called "The Restricted" series. You can read it at dannysbookclub.weebly.com. If you read it, can you tell me if it is good enough to post on this wiki. Thanks! demonJeff P.S if you are free in the future, then tell me. I am always full of warped ideas! P.P.S my sister wants to post another creepypasta. Yes or no? I want your approval before I answer.

Dude, English is not my 1st language. I am mostly German and was born there. So, I don't speak English that well. Okay? demonJeff

When you have time, please check out my site! demonJeff

My story was deleted I think it said something about formatting but im not really sure what you meant. How can I fix it?

ShadowHawk5 (talk) 03:19, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for responding, Im rather awful with grammar and im a bit sleep deprived so that did not help matters. I got the idea when I was taking the trash up my driveway so I wrote it down while the idea was still fresh thats why it might have felt rushed. I will put it through the writers work shop thingy.

Solomon, Abraham, and Job Series
I can't express how much I enjoyed this series. I feel this Biblical horror/science fiction genre is a fresh world that for the most part is mostly unexplored. In this area of literature, most people immediately think of demon possession, God is good, Angels are valiant protectors and the Devil is bad. Not every writer has the courage to twist those concepts. In my opinion, your short series was a standard for this type of topic.

I have written two of these type of short stories.
 * Daemon
 * The Sounding of the Fifth Trumpet

I would really be interesting in hearing your thoughts on those stories. Daemon actually made it into the top 10 for the recent short story contest. Since voting ended today, I waited to touch base. Thank you for taking the time to read this. take care KillaHawke1 (talk) 15:38, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

I am very happy you liked The Sounding of the Fifth Trumpet I am currently finishing up a story about where all the hate religion inspires comes from. It's called Cherubs http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:505791 KillaHawke1 (talk) 01:07, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

Deleting Dead Sleep
LIZBAC (talk) 00:26, October 22, 2015 (UTC) Exscuse me, I'm new here but why did you delete my pasta, "Dead Sleep?" I worked very hard on it and then you went and deleted it a few minutes after it was uploaded. I understand it didn't meet "quality standards," but what does that mean? Thank you.

Rude
The style of my piece is very informal. It's suppose to be told from the viewpoint of a madman. There's suppose to be random sentences thrown in there and jumping from the past to the present. If you can't appreciate my work then I will delete my account and post my story elsewhere. LIZBAC (talk) 00:47, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

If you are not going to appreciate my piece, I'm leaving. Who do you think you are getting to tear apart people's pieces like this? People should be allowed to post what they want. This site is very, VERY rude. I hope you can forgive yourslef after all the dreams you crushed. Have a nice life. LIZBAC (talk) 01:01, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

I didn't come here to be criticized by some weirdos on the internet. I came here to post my story and have fun. So thanks for ruining my night! I'm sure you're already aware that you upset a whole lot of people. It's a shame that you turn away a lot of excellent writers because YOUR ego is so big. Goodnight.

Request For Critique
I have just completed the latest chapter in The Last Day of October series. If you have time to review this story, I would very much like to hear some feedback from you. The Last Day of October--Short Hoggers

Revised story question
So my story is currently in writers workshop and I have been revising it so my question to you is when I feel its suficently revised can I just upload it since it was revised or do I have to tell you or another staff member first?

(talk) 21:29, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

I know how you told me to read PenPall in order to get ideas for how to transition, and I do not mean to sound whiny, but it's a bit long for my tastes. Could you meassge me a section where it transits from drama to comedy, as I am trying to work on that transition. Thanks.

Hello, I recently created the creepypasta Mobymax and you deleted it. I was just wondering why. Thanks!

Something Odd
So this user was communicating in Alphabet Number Code in the headers and spelled out the following (in the order of his contributions): "HelpMe Please Pain Suffer Visit". I'm guessing that the rest of the text was just random numbers because of all the repeats and the fact there isn't a 0 in Alphabet Number Code, could have been actually coding though from someone with far too much time on their hands. I just thought I'd share because it is really odd. Buckle up  I'm going to be popular  05:39, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I wasn't debating the ban (I'd have banned them too were I in your shoes), I just thought that you might find that interesting. Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  05:49, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I should have known. I bet you like looking through codes for fun XD Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  05:55, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've been told to play that and I've really been meaning to buy that off Ebay (not enough time to properly play it at this point with Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3 being so close to release). They made a sequel called "Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward" if you didn't know. Furthermore, they are working on another under the working title "Zero Escape 3" which is due at some point in 2016. Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  06:04, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Will do. I'm pretty nervous and leery about the protagonist being voiced now as I feel like the dialogue and the dialogue choices are going to be extremely simplified, but everything else looks great. Say, you have a Steam Account? That'd probably be a more appropriate place for me to bug you about it. Buckle up  I'm going to be popular  06:15, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty much the same way, I prefer consoles to PC. I also prefer physical copies to digital, it just feels more reassuring to me to be able to look at and actually hold the game and if my account gets hacked for some reason, well, I still own all my games. There are a few gem games (Crusader Kings 2 and Game Dev Tycoon) that you can only get on Steam and they have really good sales, so I figured why not. Anyway, I'm going to bed, so goodnight. Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  06:27, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Sure, I'll take watch. I loathe math a lot, and smashing their faces with the ban hammer would feel good.

However, I noticed something quite strange about the gibberish. There was a pattern there. I don't know if you noticed it, but the lines 666*666 and 7777 repeat, as well as 10 and the others. Can this really mean something?

 Ruckus Q uantum   05:52, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Anyway, here's a pic. I took a screen when I looked into the history of my talkpage.


 * I checked the guy's profile, and I found the codes again, except one. There was this /r/fearme thing, and I'm quite sure /r/ represents Reddit. I'll check it out

Hello, It's me again. I have re-read your messages and realized that, since most of my stories were deleted from here, I am moving on from CP. I now post stories on the Monster Wiki and the FNAF Wiki. If you wish to help me, please tell me good ways to become an admin or administrator. Sincerely, your disappointed friend, --DemonJeff (talk) 00:33, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I hope that your stories go far in the future! Also, if you remember things in my deleted CP's, I give you full permission to repost my stories in correct English, Remember, I am German so my stories aren't the best. Best wishes and farewell, --DemonJeff (talk) 00:40, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

The dude's freaking me out...
Apparently, this Travis420 dude has sent me some weird codes again, and it's even much longer than the first one. This dude's making my nerves burst! Ban him indefinitely.

 Ruckus Q uantum   16:45, October 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay. Calm yourself, Ruckus. I'll just solve this damned puzzle.


 *  Ruckus Q uantum   16:51, October 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. I got the half solved, the numerical ones. Here it is respectively—brackets signify obvious corrections:


 * IAMGONEFOREVER - IAMNEXT - IWILLSUFFERINHERE - INOWBELONGTOTHISPLACE - IKILLEDTHEMFORPLEASURE - IKILLEDMYSELF - THISI[S]THEPAYMENY - SINS - HADES - PLUTO -THANATOS - EPIRUS - TOTHEGA[T]ESISHALLENTER - ANDTHEREISHALLWITHE[R] - GOODBYE - IAMSORRY - IHEARHIM


 * Kind of cliché. But the last one boggles mind, and the first one. Actually, I have a lead now, but still blurry.


 * And it also mentioned Hades, Greek god of the underworld, Pluto, Hades' Romam equivalent, Thanatos, the god of Death, and Epirus, the place in Italy where the House of Hades, entrance was to be found. I know these things, thanks to Riordan.

reason for deletion
I was just wondering why my story was deleted. If it was the block format, for some reason it wouldn't let me add paragraphs in the original editor, but when I edited the page I did fix that. I've read the reasons for deletion and I do feel my story is up to the standards

I am new to this site, so sorry if I am doing this incorrectly

DekktheBlackVector (talk) 17:45, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

Now, I mean what I am about to say with all due respect, '''BUT WHY THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU DELETE MY CREEPYPASTA STORY? MY STORY COMPLETELY MET THE GODDAMN QUALITY STANDARDS AND I HAD THOROUGHLY SPELL-CHECKED THE FUCKING STORY! '''Now that that is out of my system, I would sincerely appreciate it if you actually gave me reasons that my story qualified for deletion so that I may correct the errors. I once again sincerely apoligize for the first half of my message.

In6your6head6 (talk) 19:21, October 26, 2015 (UTC)in6your6head6

Hello EmpyrealInvective,

I forgot to save my story in-case it did get deleted and would dearly plead that you so kindly give me my copy of the story that I wrote. I worked hard on it and want the original copy so that can give it to the Workshop that you so insist for I can get it reviewed and see my mistakes and errors.

Thank you and good day,

DementedPasta

You asked me to send this to you after I finished up the final errors. Here you go, hopefully its up to standards now.

DekktheBlackVector (talk) 22:37, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

Could you look at this and comment?

Thanks.

Creeper50 (talk) 23:02, October 26, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

What specific formatting and captization errors did it have?

Creeper50 (talk) 23:10, October 26, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Sorry, but I do not get what "broken lines" or "uppercase numbers" are. Also, how could I make the ritual less generic?

Thanks, but you didn't answer my other question. What are broken lines?

Creeper50 (talk) 23:20, October 26, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Thanks for all your advice.

Is this good enough? Mourning Star
Sorrry, I think the last link I posted was the wrong one. Heres the correct one.

That's the revision, which you said once I made the few changes I should be good. Hopefully its finally up to standards.

Story
Dear EmpyrealInvective,

Hi, I would like to ask if my story has now met the criteria and if it is eligible for Creepypasta Wiki Posting.

Here is the edited version: http://pastebin.com/GjY04iPT


 * Addressed.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 14:49, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

Ready for upload- The Mourning Star
I waited a day, no comments on errors arose. I had a few friends read over it as well, and besides the errors that you pointed out (which are now fixed), it seems to be good.

http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:506815

Thanks for everything! Hopefully it's ready.

Possible Contest Idea
This isn't much of a contest, but I think it would be cool if we held a mini contest for quotes, with the winner going in the front page for a month or something (replacing the current quote by Wes Craven). I haven't put much thought into it, I just find the idea interesting. MrDupin (talk) 17:19, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, now that I think about it, it would be a pain to check every quote. Anyway, do as you see fit, I don't see much point either, it just sounds kinda fun. Have a nice day. MrDupin (talk) 17:32, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't have any quotes to share. I suggested this because the previous quote was, as you said, up for quite a while. MrDupin (talk) 19:56, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

How could I add more content to get it approved?

Creeper50 (talk) 20:18, October 27, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Can you give an example?

Creeper50 (talk) 20:22, October 27, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Nevermind, Eureeka!

I just got an amazing idea for a contest. One for making an action-horror story. I think it would be hard to write but also make for a good contest. Is it good, and what rules should I put in place?

Creeper50 (talk) 20:25, October 27, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Contest idea
OK, so this is draft one of my idea.

Creepypastas are always designed, according to this wiki, "To unnerve and/or shock the reader." There are numerous stories in this genre all over the internet. They are sort of like the classic camp fire stories, only you can read them at anytime and anywhere where there is internet. Some stories in this genre, however, choose to combine horror with other genres to make something unique.

For this contest, we are going to write creepypastas that are, well, creepy, but also have some epic fight scenes in them, which will be called action-horror creepypastas. Note that by "epic," I do not mean that the fights have to have James-Bond-like stunts or slow-motion sequences. I merely mean that there have to be fight scenes at some point or another. (If you want an example, read this.)

Here are the rules for the competition:


 * For blatant reasons, you're pasta has to be an action-horror pasta. The purpose of this contest is to add action to creepypastas to make something different.


 * On the other hand, don't just inculde action. This is still creepypasta wiki.


 * Making pastas about an action video game don't count. The action has to physically involve the character or characters.


 * Although you have to have elements of both horror and action in your story, you are free to add other elements if you can manage it.


 * Minor mistakes are allowed, but if you're grammar or spelling is unreadable, you will be ignored.


 * Do not post more than one entree.


 * Notify me on my talk page when your story is done, but do not beg me to read it. Also, prepare for me to be honest.


 * If you don't follow the rules above, you're entree will be ignored.

Note: I'll be the only judge, but others are allowed to volenteer, although I will only allow up to 3 and they will not be allowed to submit an entree, for blatant reasons.

So, what do you think of my entree. How can I improve it to get it approved?

Creeper50 (talk) 21:07, October 27, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Thanks. I am very excited!
