I see you making changes all the time following what they say. And yes, they are correct about what they are saying, but you look like if you were not comprehending them. Making a story takes time, and you are going as fast as you can to have your story done. It looks like you want to be a Writer and need money right now, and you start writing so it gets approval and then continue writing stories until you finally get to sell books. Instant approval is not the point of writing, it's not the point of anything at all.

Calm down. I don't think changing and adding stuff every two seconds is good or even worth it, because it doesn't even help the story.

Start from zero. Write short notes about the characters of the story, then write short notes about the conflict, and so on. Learn how to tell a story, use Google or Youtube tutorials. I already said it and I'm saying it again: Analyze. Stop and analyze. Thinking is the first process. You can't just come up with some phrases and start putting them together and pretend it's a whole universe. Stop, relax and start again, maybe with a different story if you want. Talk with people who know about writing if you are really interested in it, surround yourself with the knowledge it requires.

In The Slenderman wiki, you even started making a story of Slenderman in a thread. That's really poor. And you were adding facts completely out of knowhere to make your story work. And it didn't work because it lacked knowledge, in this case is about the Slenderman Mythos. But I also mean the knowledge for making the tale.

We all start knowing nothing. But if we are interested, we start getting the knowledge. And we do it because we want to. It's part of everything's project. If you are interested, then you would investigate, do research, learn about the subject that attracts you.

You create the universe, be responsible with it. Alright then, i shall
