You can call it a creepypasta as long as it's creepy (rather subjective) and well-written (always required, but partly subjective). It depends actually on the topic/elements of your story, though. If the story you wrote is blatantly meant to be a trollpasta, it's most likely will not be accepted here, unless sanctioned by an administrator. Nonetheless, if it's meant to be written as an actual creepypasta, be wary of these two guidelines:


 * It must be well-written. A few grammar, punctuation and formatting errors are fixable, but writing it like it's some fairy tale made up by an eight-year-old is certainly... not so tasty and appealing.

One good example of a trollpasta here is Dogscape. Its story and setting are nonsensical and honestly shite, but the creepy-ish elements and the quality of writing make up for them. Try giving it a read, and if you plan to write your creepypasta like this, then go ahead!
 * Avoid using too many cliches... bad and "notorious" cliches, that is. (Wait, all cliches are bad and notorious, right?) It might become overly bland and unoriginal when you condense multiple creepypasta cliches into one story. Most of the time, stories like these get deleted without second thoughts.
