About story Edit Hey Icy, the best thing about editing is it makes you a god of the world you built. You can have anything and everything you want happen. The reason I suggested changing the ending is because it's too vague. I like to leave endings vague too, but there is a certain kind of story you can do that with.

Here are two examples one that has a vague ending, where the point is more to make the reader think then give closer. Another where a vague ending would ruin the story. Of course they're shameless plugs, but I guess I'll promote my stuff no matter what.

The first is Voice Messages. It has a foggy ending to make the reader wonder what is real and what isn't. Compare that to the story you've written and see if you can spot any differences in how the vague ending comes across.

The next is Spirit Bottles which has closer. That one was one I was going to leave open, but it wouldn't have worked. The story wasn't build for it.

Sometimes when you write something, it's great to have a confusing ending, but not to give the reader anything can also come across as a cop out.

Again, these are just things I've learned when writing and it's up to you on what you want to do. No one can make you write anything that you don't want to write. The concept is great and I'm sure you'll be able to make it one of the better stories on this site, so long as you work on it.

One last note, use the tiddles (~) to sign your comments. It will make it easier to get back to you. Just hit that key four times and it will let me jump right to your talk page.

Best,

Re: ViewEdit I'll try to get to it when I get a bit of free time tomorrow as I'm currently playing catch-up on the site after being out for most of the day and likely won't get time to sit down and write out a review until later. Sorry for the inconvenience. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 00:16, August 21, 2017 (UTC)

Red and Green Edit Hello! I happened to see your message on Banning's talk page, and I think I have an answer. Unless I'm mistaken, the green numbers listed in the contributions show how much data was added for that edit and the red numbers show how much was subtracted.

Review. Edit I'll help you out man. I don't know when I'll get to it because I have a bunch of other stories I have to help with edits and reviews. I may bump you up closer to the top of the queue because you said it was short.

Best,

RE: Contest and Writers Work Shop Edit Yes, you can use the writer's work shop for your entry prior to submission. By all means, use every source you have for proofreading, plot hole searches, editing, etc. etc. I want stories of top quality and would only expect you to have everyone you know read them and offer advice. Best of luck. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 23:17, October 19, 2017 (UTC)

A Heads-upEdit Please do not post duplicate pages. I deleted the earlier one as it seems like the latter was the title you wanted. If you want a different title, you can request a rollback to rename it for you. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 16:18, October 21, 2017 (UTC)

No problem. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 16:24, October 21, 2017 (UTC) What Empy said! I'm on this wiki most of my days, and should you ever need one of your stories renamed, I'm your man.

RE: ReviewEdit Hey Icydice. I'm afraid I was away yesterday so I didn't get to review your story. I will give a look tonight though. Apologies! MrDupin (talk) 13:55, October 22, 2017 (UTC)

RE: I don't know how wikis work, I do apologizeEdit I'm the real deal, friend! Don't know how to prove it, exactly, so you'll have to take my word for it! Unless, of course, you have a better idea! :P

RE: Something, something, something Edit Heh, good to hear! Glad you like my stuff, and if I find the time I'll check your old stuff out :)

And I'm glad I could introduce you to a kickass band! ;)

Helel Says HelloEdit Well hello to you too, Icy.

I liked the ambiguity and to overal wat at the end of it. It's rather original, and I think you should upload it oficially.

Also (very important) please sign your posts in the future by adding four tildes (Custom signature? pfft, as if I were that creative (talk) 15:52, April 14, 2018 (UTC)) to the end of your post. Makes it easier to figure out who did the sending.

RE Contest Edit Thank you for submitting! It was a truly creepy and original story. I'm so happy to hear my feedback was a help.

HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 20:50, October 31, 2017 (UTC)

Story deletion Your story has been deleted because it doesn't meet the wiki's quality standards. If you feel that it did meet the standards, please state your case on Deletion Appeal. Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter there, or your appeal will be automatically denied.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUPLOAD YOUR PASTA. If you upload it again, you'll receive a 1-day ban from editing, as per the rules.

Read the Deletion FAQ and our Style Guide for Writing for details on the 'what' and 'why' of the deletions we make.

Read this guide and these blog posts for further details on how you can improve your story/stories to make them meet our quality standards.

For additional help, submit your story to the Writer's Workshop for feedback.

I am afraid your story did not meet the Quality Standards. First I will point out some few technical issues before I jump on the meat of the story. "had many sides of hiself" - It's 'himself'. "allows him realize" - Add a 'to' after 'him'. "these men plauge" - It's 'plague'. "their flesh charing and bubbling" - I think you meant to say 'charring'. Now onward to the plot. The main issue with the story is that it lacks focus. Your story is about how the devil is actually good, which sets it into the genre of "pastas-with-a-twist-revelation". This pastas work well when we get a revelation that makes the reader go "oh, that makes sense" or "hmmm, interesting" and then the explanation sheds even more light on the situation and cements the idea. (Of course, there are other formats, but this is the safest route.) Your story did not follow this path. You write briefly about how the devil is actually good and then for more than half of your story you write about some terrible people, with seemingly no reason. In stories like this, every section needs to earn its spot. Think of it as a mathematical proof with some sauce on it. If something isn't part of the proof, you should take extra care when adding it in. Too much sauce and the story will feel bloated and the proof forgotten. The idea of writing about some terrible people is great, but it should have been done in just about a paragraph. Be quick and to the point when mentioning them: "This guy was an animal, he did this and that. Look at him now, his flesh hanging off his ribs." Shorter sections like this keep the focus on the revelation while showing the work of the devil. As a theory, this story is lacking a bit too. You write the devil is good because he is keeping bad people away, but is he really? These people died, so they can't cause any more damage. Maybe I missed it, but there should be something like "if everyone went to heaven, you would get bad people causing havoc among the good ones". This will explain the need for a hell. Overall, I feel your story can get posted on the site with a few amendments. If you manage to condense the bad people sections, your story will maintain the focus on the revelation, which will be great. Hope this helped, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. MrDupin (talk) 21:47, November 3, 2017 (UTC) To be honest, it is trickier than that. The story drags on in general. Cutting these sections down will certainly help, but there is more work. I am also noticing a lot of repetition. For example, your first two paragraphs are pretty much identical to your last two paragraphs. You need to cut these sections down too. I think this story can work only as a very short story and that means you need to structure it better. If I were to write the story, I would do it like this: First I would write about man being evil and stuff and in the second half I would say "and hey, you call me bad for taking these men away from heaven". This way at the end of the story the reader will be left with the revelation. It needs some work in any case, but so far it is a good try. MrDupin (talk) 23:47, November 3, 2017 (UTC) Re: ViewEdit I'm currently working my way through the other unreviewed stories so it's likely I'll get to it in a week or so if no one else has by then. Sorry for the inconvenience. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 23:24, November 5, 2017 (UTC)

WorkshopEdit Awesome, I will take a look tomorrow. MrDupin (talk) 01:13, November 6, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Writer's Workshop.Edit Hell-o, Icy.

I've looked into your issue: the problem is that you most likely just copy-pasted the story straight from Word, into Visual Mode.

Don't do that.

When copy-pasting over to Visual Mode, styles are also carried over, such as: colour of leters, font, size, alignment... When I viewed your entry in Source Mode, it showed me that it had incredibly complex code (longest I've seen to date) that determined colour, font...

If you want to copy-paste something, you must first switch to Source Mode, as it carries over only letters, without any stylistic changes. Hell, I'm writing this in Source Mode 'cause it's simpler that way.

I hope I was able to help. Remember: ask, and the Staff shal respond. Good luck.

Xmas pasta Edit I like how she selflessly asks for help for her father and instead he gets murdered. That's going at the end, right? Would make a nice twist. One could even infer that the man isn't Santa and that he just intercepted her letter somehow. Though, a real person can't come down the chimney. Or can they? I had raccoons living in my chimney. Does that count? Umbrello (talk) 19:27, December 24, 2017 (UTC)

Signing PagesEdit You're looking for the by-user template. For you it would be ClericofMadness (talk) 02:08, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Template Edit I've only been on this wiki for the past few weeks, but I typically just type "Written by" in italics and then sign using four tildes. I see on my talk page that you have a custom signature though, so I guess that wouldn't work in your case. I don't know about the template.

HopelessNightOwl (talk) 03:28, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

Memories light the corners of my mind Edit Hello! Yes, that sounds familiar. I was about to log off when I got your message, so I'll try to check them out tomorrow. I'm looking forward to reading your Christmas story because I happened to see you've been talking with Umby about it. Thank you for stopping by, for the greetings and links. It'll be interesting to contrast the old and new styles. It's good to see writers who are able to take advice and grow instead of being salty about everything. Here's hoping you had a good Christmas! :-D Raidra (talk) 04:02, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Template TroubleEdit Go here, mayte.

The Star is falling - Greet the First Dawn! 19:10, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

Pastas roasting on an open fire Edit You're certainly welcome. That's good because I had a splitting headache last night and didn't get around to it until earlier today. May the good-natured ribbing of old stories commence!

“The man never seen”- The fact that it opens up repeating the title reminds me of a YouTube narration (not a complaint, just an observation). Yikes, the man never seen has unsettling ways of showing his love, or is it that he loves kids like a dog loves bacon? “He takes you to learn to sew.” It’s nice that he teaches some practical skills. “Those who are aware of him threw this story di even sooner.” I’m going to di?! What have you done to me!? “He gets rid of those people nicely.” Oh, okay, at least it’ll happen nicely. The main problem with this story is it’s a string of horrible events with little else, making it more an attempt to be horrifying than an actual story. I have to admit, though, that you may be onto something with the ending. A monster transforming others into similar monsters is an old motif, but one that can be very effective and chilling if done properly. (Note- I reviewed these before those two new ones. It's interesting to compare and contrast this with "A Silver Flame", in which you did a much better job of exploring this concept.) “I think im being watched”- “I made a terrible mistake not looking at his license plate number, because i wanted to call the cops on this freak.” Already this protagonist is smarter than most slasher film characters. This was better developed than the first story, but things still happened too quickly, and the ending was kind of vague. “The arms”- This story reminded me of tales used to scare children (like the Japanese tale that if you tell a lie, a spirit will snatch out your tongue). The narrator talking about hating the night and having frightening dreams makes me feel that it would be better to explore a subject like night terrors or sleep paralysis rather than a bogeyman-like entity. That could just be me since I’m into psychological stories, but it’s something to consider. Different people are good at different types of stories, so all I can do is offer food for thought. “High five nightmare”- “It makes them have extreme stomach aches and other sucknessess.” I assume you mean things like bronchitis and strep throat because I’ve had them, and let me tell you, they suck. This one tried too hard and was too far-out to be scary, but I feel the idea of something ordinary suddenly causing harm has potential. I was going to say that I had left comments on your new stories, but then I got your message, so it looks like you found them already. You're certainly welcome, and I look forward to seeing more from you. :-D I think it's only fair that I share my deleted creepyastas, including the weirdest one I've written so far. Raidra (talk) 21:38, December 27, 2017 (UTC)

Sometimes you just feel in the mood to write a story about an arrogant football player inadvertently huffing laughing gas, right? X-D When it comes to my comics I've had weirder ideas than that. I am curious as to what your old account was because I have some memory of your previous time on here, but I'm having trouble finding the posts. "Anyways, this was a fun experience definitely." Awesome! :-D Raidra (talk) 04:21, December 29, 2017 (UTC) Oh, yeah, I remember you! Thanks for the link! I'm signing off for the night, so before I go, I realized I forgot to tell you something- "Welcome back." :-) Raidra (talk) 04:47, December 29, 2017 (UTC) RE: Thanks for the editsEdit No problem! Happy I could help. ^ ^

RE: HelloEdit Hi Icydice,

Yeah, I occasionally do reviews in the WW -- it used to be the only section I lingered in when I first joined, but I got away from it.

Anyways, sure I can take a look at it for you.

Vngel W (talk) 20:47, December 30, 2017 (UTC)

While you were away Edit I realized that your extended absence means you missed the memo about how apparently this wiki was going to bleed until there was no more blood left. See, when people aren't cool like you are, they tend to leave rants like this, which subsequently leads to spoofs like this (Warning: There is some inappropriate content here and there). Happy New Year! Raidra (talk) 00:29, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

Surprise! Ask Empy about his Salt Mines and how you can become a reformed member. Thanks for the well-wishes. :-D It's not my area of expertise, but I do know two things. One- It means a pasta written in diary/journal form, not any story involving diaries/journals (I learned that when the category was removed from my story "Dawn's Notebooks"). Two- It's not good to end with something like, "NO, THE MONSTER'S EATING ME!!! AAAHHH!!!!!!" Raidra (talk) 01:28, January 1, 2018 (UTC) sure Edit Sure, I can help, but I've never written a journal pasta. Umbrello (talk) 00:51, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Hello Edit Hi, thanks for the praise. I'm curious to know which of my micropastas you liked, as I have posted four of them in the past few weeks. Anyway, I've read your journal pasta draft and will probably give my input tonight or tomorrow.

HopelessNightOwl (talk) 01:21, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Dilemma Edit I know how it is because I myself hate to lose a good story idea. I was going to say go ahead and send it, and then I saw you went ahead and posted a link, so I'll check it out when I can (hopefully tomorrow).

P.S.- Cool! Interestingly, Hailey also has the same birthday. While we ponder what mysterious force may be drawing people born on May 15 to this site, here's the video I find myself thinking of when people talk about birthdays. Raidra (talk) 03:24, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

RE: All Too HumanEdit Thanks for the mention, but I think Raidra did more of the heavy lifting; I just fixed the spacing and format. Yeah, AI concepts are one of the topics I find intriguing, so it was pretty easy for me to gravitate to your story. It's fascinating idea and yet a scary one when you think about it: If AI was born would it lead down that route? It's a wonder how it would all pan out.

Hey Icy, I would love to review your story. I'll get started on reading it right away. Thanks for personally asking me to do it, means a lot!

FeedbackEdit Hey, if you drop me an email at wallis_cj@hotmail.com I'll send you my feedback. It's just I can't really post it as a 5000 word comment and the workshop thread has been closed ChristianWallis (talk) 17:15, January 5, 2018 (UTC)

haha, well man that's my email. Regardless of what the browser says. Just drop a quick email and I can send the feedback over ChristianWallis (talk) 17:26, January 5, 2018 (UTC) Re: Thank You Edit You are welcome :)

A give credit where credit is due, for example, I wasn't to in on your "A Silver Flame", it was unique and does play a bit into my national folklore, however, it felt a little lackluster to me as a werewolf story. Nonetheless, it was written well and had a good feel to it as a thrill/horror piece, just not "werewolf"y enough. "All Too Human" was leagues above in terms of fitting the role it was meant to play.

(Plus, I've a bias towards stuff that is made by smart people for smart people hehehe)

Umm, as for you feeling honored, I dunno, just because I've been a memeber for long, doesn't mean I'm that good, you can see that by looking through the amount of the "deleted story" tags in my talk list, if you want to praise me, go through my works first :P

BloodySpghetti (talk) 15:06, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

YAY! Edit Congratulations! :-D I can imagine how excited you must feel. I know I always feel honored and excited when someone narrates one of my stories, or even when someone leaves a glowing review in the comments section.

X-D I'm all right, thanks. How about you? Raidra (talk) 04:07, January 13, 2018 (UTC)

I assumed That's what you were going for. And i could certainly knock it up to biased opinion as someone who hasnt already accepted that humans are destructive and evil by nature may find this terrifying. I just think as far as fear factor goes it was very mild for creepy pasta. Please dont get me wrong though I LOVED this story. It clearly took a lot of thought and creativity. And like i said i loved how your swerved around the whole destroy all humans thing. I just try to always add constructive criticism. i.e. i still havent read the perfect pasta. But this was one of the best

Re: Edit Hello,

Thank you. I was unaware people still knew of my reviews, as I haven't been consistently active on this wiki for quite a while. Regardless, I appreciate your words.

Though I've been trying to not take as many requests as I used to when I first started out, I admit that I often can't help myself whenever someone puts forth one. Thus, I'll certainly take a look at your story at some point relatively soon.

Pasta of the Month? I'm intrigued.

AGrimAuxiliatrix1 (talk) 01:17, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

That's odd Edit I get the feeling that I should be congratulating you for something, and yet you haven't told me any sort of news about any sort of honor you may have recently been given. Hmm... Raidra (talk) 04:34, February 13, 2018 (UTC)

Most Valuable Possum Edit Possum of the month, whoo-hoo! Congratulations! :-D "...(thanks to you)." I wouldn't say that, but thanks; I'm happy I could help.

Speaking of possums, I always thought this cartoon was pretty funny. I also found this exclusive deleted scene from your now award-winning pasta. Raidra (talk) 03:25, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

RE: Hello Edit You're welcome and my apologies! I actually thought about changing the stabbing in Nanny Cam to something else. Strangling, maybe? Anyway, I'll try and check out your other thing. Umbrello (talk) 21:51, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Don't get caught with egg between your toes! Edit I've always loved that cartoon because the hero is so likable and the situation is just so absurd. :-D I'm doing pretty well, thank you. I hope you're doing well too (and that people claiming to be dictators don't vandalize your page anymore). Raidra (talk) 00:29, February 15, 2018 (UTC)

That actually wasn't the first dictator to receive a block on this site, as seen here. Here's hoping you do well! Raidra (talk) 00:45, February 15, 2018 (UTC) "All Too Human" Review is Up Edit Hello again,

I've posted the review. You didn't need to worry about me "ripping it to shreds" at all.

You can find it on my (continued) critiques page (here) or as a comment on your original story.

Thank you for the request.

From Here to Two Days Ago Edit That title made me think of PhantomStrider's video of the top ten worst anime- "Konichiwa and howdy!" It's going well. I'm sorry to hear about your frightening experience yesterday; hopefully it won't happen again. Luckily I haven't encountered any more creepy people in restaurants. Raidra (talk) 00:56, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

I actually ended up taking a nap earlier, presumably because I hadn't gotten enough sleep during the week. I spent a couple days this week writing a draft I ended up not using because I had some issues with it. I may eventually decide to start it over from scratch. One of these days I'm going to do a blog about rejected creepy possums. Dang, that's a shame. Some people are just plain inconsiderate (or they're lowlifes, one or the other). No, it's fine. If you were to read enough of my posts you'd find I'm an expert rambler. Have a good one! Raidra (talk) 01:50, February 18, 2018 (UTC) Re: Sequel Edit I personally would feel apprehensive about making a sequel to the story, but if you have a particularly brilliant idea or believe one could really work, then I absolutely support you creating one, especially if you're passionate about doing so.

Are you driven by intrinsic motives, external validation, or both? Feel free not to answer if you don't wish to. AGrimAuxiliatrix1 (talk) 03:05, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for answering. I like seeing how the author feels about themselves. Now that you've explained it, I think it is reasonable to simply go for it. Even if the sequel doesn't match up to what some readers may want, I don't see much harm in trying provided your intent stays clear. You, as the creator, know what you want, regardless of the story's popularity, so to speak. What you write and why you're writing it is more important than what your reader is going to think of what you've written. I was 13 when I started writing stories and reviewing Creepypastas on this wiki. Recently, I've had many an experience that I've felt compelled to write down without sharing any of them. My motivation was my own, and I knew I couldn't prevent myself. I had to let my words pour out to relieve the weight that was crushing me. This is, essentially, a convoluted way of me saying that I believe I do understand what you're referring to, and that if you're relatively young, it only makes your passion and achievements that much greater. AGrimAuxiliatrix1 (talk) 04:25, February 18, 2018 (UTC) Re: ViewEdit Unfortunately I don't quite have the time. I'm in-between studying subjects so I figured I'd poke my head in and see what's going on with the wiki, but I don't really have much time to spare. Sorry. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 14:12, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, best of luck with your upcoming story. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 14:14, February 18, 2018 (UTC) Formatting Edit Hey, I forgot to mention the formatting on your new pasta. All the space between the paragraphs is because there's html coding or whatever that's not supposed to be there. You have to edit it in source mode and delete all the code at the beginning and end of every paragraph. Or an easier way would be to edit it, delete everything, then copy/paste the story fresh into source mode (as long as you didn't make edits afterwards that you would lose).Umbrello (talk) 20:52, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

Aaaaaaand someone else did it already. LOL Umbrello (talk) 20:53, February 18, 2018 (UTC) Less Than HumanEdit Yeah, dude. Really well written, and adds an interesting twist to the previous one. Keep up the good work, man!

Frank Phillips (talk) 22:10, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Edit You're welcome. Take care. I'll be sure to give your story a look relatively soon. AGrimAuxiliatrix1 (talk) 02:50, February 19, 2018 (UTC)

Look out, he's got a toothpick! Edit I came here to launch rubber bands at people and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum! I did an issue in which a supervillain was discreetly taking control of people by rigging one of those pocket-sized fans to emit a nerve gas which made people extremely prone to suggestion. My best friend, Nick, joked that after that people wouldn't trust the villain with ordinary objects. He'd be at the gas station trying to buy something and a hero would burst in claiming it was a super-secret weapon, only for the villain to take out a paper clip and explain that no, this was the super-secret weapon.

Well, that was a short stroll down memory lane. Enjoy your well-deserved break from writing! :-D Raidra (talk) 15:05, February 19, 2018 (UTC)

Awesome Edit Hey, thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to check it out and leave you some feedback asap!

K. Banning Kellum (talk) 00:51, February 20, 2018 (UTC)

Oh, my gosh! You already have a three-picture deal! :-D Raidra (talk) 02:52, February 20, 2018 (UTC) ~laughs at title~ Yeah, you don't want to be like Hollywood where they mess up the third part of a trilogy. I believe in you, though. Just try not to get stressed out about it. You could ask Banning about working with narrators if you haven't already because he's worked with Creeparoni. Have a good one!

Hi. This is TorusDrovenson.

Screenshot 2018-02-07 at 10.19.33 AM i am the watcher and i see all

You asked me to message you.

So here I am.

I have an idea that I need your advice on.

What I'm thinking of doing is making a horror series called THE RAINBOW.

What I'm thinking of doing is writing a story about each color: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Sound like it would be a good idea?

Thanks for checking out my story!

Re: Thanks Edit No problem. I look forward to your feedback on my draft as well as the finished version of your new story.

HopelessNightOwl (talk) 06:57, February 24, 2018 (UTC)

You're welcome Edit You are welcome. "Horror is not a static emotion, but rather a fluid one" - Gilles de Rais, Fate/Zero. I wouldn't go as far as to say you're meaning to induce terror in people, but you do get that fearfulness, if you know, people who are technophobes and fear AI taking over the world were to read your series.

Also, as repayment for my glorious, godly support. I demand you read Aythideos (and possibly its followups) and comment at how shitty I am.

Keep up the good work ;)

I've looked through it and yeah, it looks ripe enough, the final line though, looks kind of forced, maybe try to rephrase it somehow. =]

There is too much Ketchuppa in my Spaghett (talk)

RE: EditsEdit Sure thing! For extra spaces behind paragraphs, I recommend using this method if you own Microsoft Word. Simply use "^p^p" for the Find What field and "^p" for the Replace field. This removes "x" amount of paragraph space (add as many "^p" per new line). The same can used for creating paragraph space to suit the Wiki format. This should help deal with any future space issues.

In regards to you story, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Such an unfortunate revelation for the "child" intelligence, but a fitting conclusion for a solid trilogy.

Megolomachiniac Edit Thanks for letting me know. If I check them out I'll let you know what I think. Hopefully they'll be well-received like the first story was. Raidra (talk) 00:04, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

Somethinsomethinsomethin Edit Heyo. So I've posted something in the workshop, called "Street Magician" let me know what you think :)

Part 3Edit I read part 2, loved it and where is part 3? Could you send me the link?

Fisto (talk) 13:50, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

RE: It's been good. Just taking one day at a time...Edit Honestly, as much as I enjoyed the first story, I like the sequels even more. For me, I liked following the malevolent intelligence as it set out to prove its point to the benevolent one on humanity -- felt like a homage to how I envision the Devil would act with God. I think the last story shines the most, to me, because I was interested to see how it all played out: You had this loosely formed "alliance" between the malevolent intelligence and the doctor as they baited the benevolent one to them, which was interesting.

So, in my opinion, the story got better as you introduced each new part to the series, which is not an easy thing to do I'm sure you know.

Vngel W (talk) 14:44, February 27, 2018 (UTC)

Re: BlerpEdit A. Did not know this was you at first or what you were saying, but I'm also kinda dumb, just really good at pretending I'm intelligent. B. Scary? Maybe the finale didn't cause gut wrenching terror, but the reality of the series as a whole is terrifying. It makes people question how badly we need technology and what risks are we taking. Personally, I get more "scared" of an idea, not instances or thrills. I loved the series and recommended it to my buds IRL.

Fisto (talk) 19:58, March 1, 2018 (UTC)

New storyEdit So I have part one of a possible new story, only issue is I don't even know if it belongs. I rather email it to you and get an opinion, but for some reason my work comp won't let me. So I'll go ahead and post it on the workshop. Its long so sorry in advance for the time it will consume.

Fisto (talk) 18:06, March 2, 2018 (UTC)

If I survive Edit I'm going out in a noreaster. If I make it back alive, I'll check out them sequels! I'm working on my own sequel, but man... I just love to write myself into corners lol. Umbrello (talk) 19:06, March 2, 2018 (UTC)

New Series Edit Icy... you dweeb! Since you like to dabble in sci-fi I decided to tell you that I'm currently working on a new sci-fi pasta series. First part is currently drafted in the writer's workshop. It's called "Beyond The Necropolis" Give it a look if you like :)

Good luck with the electical recovery :)

Hi. I noticed you wanted my post deleted and I'm happy to do so. I just don't know how to delete my post. I deleted all the text in my story but couldn't figure out how to delete it. FeliciaDarkstalkers (talk) 01:04, March 31, 2018 (UTC) FeliciaDarkstalkers

Hey there. Edit Hey Icy,

Was wondering if you could give the latest story I've uploaded a review. It's called The Nothingness in the Center of the Room. It would mean a lot if you could give it a read.

Thanks,

JohnathanNash (talk) 22:31, April 7, 2018 (UTC)

Ms. Nyholm Bay-Bay! Edit Well, you write well, regardless of horror or not. Horror and fear are extremely dynamic. I guess you should just look at what would scare you and people in general for better ideas. That's what I do.

As for your birthday, as the title of this section hints, one of my closest friends (whose name is Nyholm) had her birthday during the weekend, we just threw her a party with a bunch of friends. Nothing to fancy. Do what you enjoy doing, that's all I can say to you.

There is too much Ketchuppa in my Spaghett (talk)

Icy, you have some serious Raw Talent. You also clearly have a huge imagination. I highly recommend you take English classes very seriously and then when you get to college, take all of the writing study and theory courses you can. (if you choose to go to college). Do research on your own and learn as much as you can about the structure and mechanics of writing. this will take you from blog posts, up to novels. Seriously man(girl?) I think you could have a future in this. Your writing reminds me of Stephen King. not just because of the crazy *** that comes out of his brain but the way he can make his writing sound so natural as if he doesn't know the first thing about proper literature (he does...a lot. that's part of the skill). I'm rambling. keep at it. Hone your craft.

No problem. It's a common issue that pops up when adding images to stories. Have a good one. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:09, April 10, 2018 (UTC) Hi,

I'm sorry for the confusion! I'm fairly new to this site and still learning some of the etiquette involved. So thanks for letting me know, I appreciate your communication! :)

Source mode Edit All good man. I've always been anal about active editors using source mode since the Visual Editor used to be the absolute bane of my existence. The 2013 Visual Editor fucked paged formatting up CONSTANTLY. I think it's gotten better since then but it still causes errors sometimes (which I've noticed in your edits). LOLSKELETONS (talk) 02:50, April 13, 2018 (UTC)

Vngel W (talk) 19:57, April 13, 2018 (UTC)

Heads up Edit Try not to change regional spellings, as you did here. That's a really bad editing habit to get into. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 15:41, April 14, 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, pretty much everywhere but America uses that spelling, lol. It's all right if you weren't aware before, but be sure to educate yourself on regional spelling differences for future editing. On a side note: do you want to archive your talk page? It's gettin' pretty long. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 15:49, April 14, 2018 (UTC)
