Unfinished
I was ip banned for an "unfinished" pasta which was in fact finished. It was called Going to the Library. I do not understand why it is considered unfinished. Please elaborate. Kraigsliszt (talk) 02:49, August 14, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about format here; on tablet...

I see why my story doesn't fit the standards here, but I have another question. The first story I wrote here (Nothingness of After Death) was not deleted. What made that story eligible to be on this wiki? Was there something in particular?

Thanks, bye.

Fresh talk page destroyer has been activated. You have been "Jayped".

Hello!
Hi! I just wandered if there was a way to remove the ouranyx story entirely, including any search information on it, and my page? I decided to take the character to a webcomic that i have a few supporters backing me up,  and make him less scary!~ Thankyou for taking the time to read this!

I'm back... again...
Hello there, again... It's been a while since we talked and I do apologize for the feuding that's been going on between us, but I want to give you a quick rundown on what's coming up from me and a new idea I would like for you approve.

First up, Shattered is now in pre-production as I'm attempting to rework the writing for it and make sure it's one story you may never forget. However, I'm not sure when this creepypasta will be released so I'm currently making some other creepypastas to hold everyone over.

I'm currently writing up a new creepypasta called, Renovation, where a teenager finds a laptop in the attic of a house when renovating it. This is loosely based on personal events of mine as I'm currently taking a summer job of my dad's renovation business and every now and then, one of the crew members will find a treasure, as I like to call them, somewhere in a house. A World War II flare gun in the basement of one, a Darth Vader bust found in the attic of another, and so on. As these occurences have happend for quite some time, I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to make a story based on this, if that's fine with you.

I don't know if Flowers will ever see the light of day as I haven't really worked on that in a while, but we'll see what I can do for that one. Thank you for reading this note and I hope bring out these creepypastas some time in the future.

With love from me and terror coming for you,

A Request Most Curry
Hey, hope everything is going well for you. I noticed you recently deleted the story "Chairman". I honestly had a bit of a soft spot for that story, so would it be alright/would you mind providing a copy of it for me? I'm not exactly sure if this is allowed; if it isn't I understand.

 * Jay Ten (talk) 00:31, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

My story was taken down because of grammar issues and whatnot. It was fixed, as said in the story. Thank you.

The story got deleted literally within a minute of it being uploaded and the story was redid completely. I don't understand where the issues are coming from.

Hello EmptyrealInvective:

Thank you for taking the time to read my pasta, '' Morning Commute. ''

I read over the guides you thoughtfully provided, but I do not seem to understand the specific reasons why it was deleted. I apologize for my lack of understanding. Could you please elaborate further as to what I need to do?

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Public Domain Works
Yo.

I've noticed a few public domain works floating around, and I was wondering if normal users could post them. I don't really have anything of my own to contribute, so I figured that I might inquire about it. The particular story I'm thinking of is called Carmilla by J. Sheridan LeFanu. It's a vampire gothic fiction that predates Dracula by about 26 years.

If it's alright, then I'll go ahead and post it. If not, then I'll just leave it be and go back to finding a few things here and there to edit. Bandit King Jack (talk) 03:55, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Right. Thanks for the reply. Bandit King Jack (talk) 04:15, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

What? It was finished. I copied and pasted it from a word document, maybe I missed a bit. What was the final line on the page I uploaded?

I really can't catch a break, can I? My last four stories were all deleted all for different reasons. Maybe I'll just write about a haunted Crash Bandicoot game. That seems the only thing that'll survive.

That new pasta, Omega Squad, probably needs to be deleted. It has horrible grammar and it is a blacklist pasta.

Rainbow Burn (talk) 21:12, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

Hey man,

I've posted a CreepyPasta on here and I've just been informed that it may count as a Spin Off, which, at the time of writing, I myself didn't view it as such, more of a bridge between/connecting 2 previously written CreepyPasta's, and I was just wondering if there was any chance you could review it for me and delete if necessary, as much as I'd hate that to be the case, if it is then so be it, I don't wish to come one to this site and start violating the rules my first day as a member :L

Here's the link: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:550460#10

Exhausted
Hello sir. I know you have been quite busy lately but if you had the time to read and review my latest story; Exhausted, I'd be really happy. I just want to know what you think, and if it passes the Quality Standards. I did read your 'How To Write a Journal Entry Pasta' prior to writing it, so hopefully it has paid off!

Anarchic Operations (talk) 00:19, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

I apologize
Hey, this is GREATEST1TFG.

I am dreadfully sorry that my pasta broke the rules. It could have stood on its own. I guess I was thinking too far ahead. I am not here to give hate, I am here to apologize. I guess I can re-create it without the 'part two' stuff.

GREATEST1TFG (talk) 04:02, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Insert laugh track here
Excuse me, but I believe I met all the quality standards you had set, why take down 'Wide-eyed Jason' if you had not even read it before!


 * If you cannot see why I put those in this story, the draw outs, the odd wordings and such, then you clearly don't understand the slightest about where a creepypasta should lie. Restating the idea of the unlucky December is to put discomfort into the reader's psyche, and his name is only truly shown at the end of the story where it is revealed he is a maniac, for all you could know 'Wide-eyed Jason' could have been an entirely different person all together which is how he is let on to be right before it is revealed he is Jason. Also, it is said that 'I hope you celebrate with me through this month' because after his birthday throughout December he turns into his counterpart Wide-eyed Jason, read into the story and read behind the words before you start critiquing work, it puts you off as incompetent, I will admit I did have quite a few spelling errors and such I overlooked, but writing is about drawing the attention of the audience and conveying the feelings you wish to put across them with your words. Whether the grammars correct or not, if you are a true writer then you should understand that as well as I do. I won't pester you about it since it was just a measly little writing I did in an hour and I don't much care if you took it down anymore, but you should heed my words. Good day, Mr. Admin

Re: Jam Session
Jam looks like it's going to be one hell of a read for me, but I never knew the author much. However, I can check out this Mogworld book later after I finish reading Jam. Thanks for the suggestion, Emps.

Sorry
Hey there, PeterGreek here and I want to tell you some more things about the deleted story.

I am Greek, but I speak english fluently. The grammar errors were there because of rushing, as I had told you some weeks ago.

Second, when I was thinking about the main antagonist, I could not think anything and I had to do some research. That's why I picked that one to be the antagonist.

Third, sorry for violating the rules and trolling you.

I have gone through with a third revision. Is there anyway you could check it out? I'm 100% sure there aren't anymore gramatical errors as i ave spent two weeks on this and another story ( But that's something different. I could post it as a response to original post in writer's workshop. Do you want that?

Quite too jammy for me
I honestly tried my hard to enjoy Jam, but I wasn't just into it. I felt deep inside me this was going to be quite a good read for me, but I just couldn't... you know, dig the thing. Maybe it was the pacing or unnatural characters and scenarios that made me uniterested of the book, can't tell really.

But I've moved on to Neal Stephenson's novel Reamde, which is like 450% longer than Jam. It's about a thousand pages. Digging it so far. The writing is moot and realistic, characters behave like real people, the plot is closer to reality and the pace is near perfect.

So because I didn't like Jam much, it's unlikely I'd get my hands on Mogworld. Yeah, that's quite a shame.

 Ruckus Q uantum   06:19, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Story
Hello. I'm new to creepypasta and have been working on a character with a bio and a story... I don't have anyone to go over it or help me who's heavily into the Creepy Pasta fandom. The story itself isn't exactly scary at first glance until you start considering what's the concepts under the author's note left at the bottom of the page which helps bring one begin to imagine being in the protagonist's shoes and making  them use their imagination to spark emotions to the reader from what they know of the story to cause a sensation of dread or fear. I badly want to know if this would make a good story/character that people might enjoy. Would you please look it over for me? The note and what's under it is all a part of the story itself as well.

Welcome Message
Just wanted to clarify if the little message on my talk page was a polite nudge that my comment was "overboard" or whether that's just a standard thing that appears.

I did actually read the guidlines before posting, but I can't remember exactly what I said offhand so it's entirely possible I was overzealous.

That said, I think the comment had to be made. It was a truly awful pasta and it suggests the quality standards of the site are near nonexistent.

Question About Story Deletion
Hai, I have a question as the title suggests.

I am very very sorry if I broke any of the rules, but I read over the message you sent me, and I am a bit confused.

"You are no longer allowed to post spinoffs, sequels, fanfics, or prequels of creepypastas/pasta monsters you didn't create directly onto this wiki."

The thing is, I did create this story myself. I mean sure, it started out as a roleplay with a friend, but I was the one who made it into a story ^^"

"We are also no longer allowing new posts on the subjects of Slenderman, The Rake, Sonic.exe, Tails Doll, .exe/haunted file stories, "haunted game" style pastas, B.O.B., Eyeless Jack, Squidward's Suicide/Red Mist, Suicide Mouse, Pokémon in general, Happy Appy, BEN, Cleverbot, Normal Porn for Normal People, Dogscape, Moon Face, The Russian Sleep Experiment, Abandoned By Disney, the Holders series, The Theater, anything to do with the SCP Foundation, Candle Cove, Dead Bart, Zalgo, Smiledog, Minecraft, Jeff the Killer (this includes Jeff-"inspired" stories or entities), Jane the Killer, Roblox, Team Fortress 2, or yet another My Little Pony grimdark fanfiction. If you wish to post these, please don't post them here."

I don't think any of the categories here matched the story I posted either ^^"

Can you please explain to me more in depth as to why my story was deleted? I would really appreciate it. ^^

Okaminarutofan999 (talk) 02:21, August 21, 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to know why my story was deleted every time I do anything on this wiki it seems someone deletes any progress I do, from small things like fixing a misspelled word or posting in the comment section a new reading, but really not this is getting on my nerves actually posting a damn story that meets the requirements and you guys just deleting it I'd like to actually know what is it, that keep's you guys deleting my work, I could understand if it was just someone line story, or written in a terrible fashion that makes no sense like Jeff the killer but this is getting old, and i want some answers.

Not sure
Sorry if I screw anything up I'm rather inexperienced with this. Anyway, my story "Babel" was deleted only a couple minutes after I posted it, and I'm not sure why. I've gone through the list and haven't seen anything that I did wrong with it. The only thing I can think of is that you saw it immediately after I posted it, and saw that some of the text ran together, and it was deleted before I finished editing that problem. If not, then I am truly puzzled, and would just like to know what was wrong with it so I can fix it.

 * My internet is being a complete bastardus. Can't get on slack or anything, and the wiki is only working for a couple minutes here and there. I may have discovered something that could really help deleting the unused files. It's a script that allows you to view all the photos as a text list, meaning you can highlight 500 file names at a time and paste them in the batch delete window. You just have to leave the tab open and let it run. It's supposed to delete one file per second when working properly. Of course it will fill the deletion log, but it would be over with in a rather short period of time. Anyway, I'll talk to you when you get some free time and my internet is better. Have a good trip tomorrow.

Maybe you can help me out here. I posted on the WW forum, tried to edit that post and wasn't able to, so I made a new post. The new one got deleted and you told me to go back and edit the old post. Still doesn't work. Not only can I not edit it, I can't delete it or do anything else either. Apparently it doesn't think it exists. Is there some sort of protocol for this? Am I stuck in a catch 22?

Curiosity Concerning Blogs.
So, recently, I've had somewhat of an obsession with creepy rock/metal music videos. I'm curious to know what music videos the people of this community have found unsettling or frightening as well as sharing a few of my own, if only to extend my musical preferences and explore some dark imagery.

Some of these videos, such as Nine Inch Nail's "Closer," contain nudity, so I just wanted to see what the paramters on that were. I take it that I'm probably not allowed to post these actual videos in the blog, but could I simply link them instead?

Thanks.

Illustrations of horror
Since you're doing clean-up, check "The Sphinx" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" to see what you think of my illustrations KO_Sphinx_Moth and Killer_Orang-Utan.

Spacing between Sentences
Hey Emp, in HTML, it doesn't matter whether you have one space or two (or any amount). It all gets condensed into one, unless you mess around with the coding a bit. So it doesn't have an effect on the style of a story. Just letting you know because it makes no difference.

Also, why did you revert the numbering? You changed "two" to "2". I thought that the general consensus in literature is to write out numbers as whole (unless it has a specific reason for being numerical). I know that a lot of people find it jarring (I do too). I think it's better to leave them written out unless they are numerical for a reason. In this case I don't see any kind of reason. MrDupin (talk) 18:48, September 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * I won't pressure it any further, because it really doesn't matter, but I am honestly not seeing a difference. I even checked, and they are both 5 pixels. I don't think it has any effect on the wiki, unless there's a problem with my browser. Oh well, who cares? MrDupin (talk) 19:08, September 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * I just noticed something about spacing. In talk pages, it doesn't matter how many you have, they all get condensed into one. In articles though, if you have more than one, they get condensed to two instead. So, you were actually right. If a writer puts two spaces, it does have an effect on the styling. More than two spaces though make no difference.


 * So, I think that when we notice an inconsistency in the amount of spaces, we should make it more uniform. It's like the British-American form issue. The writer needs to be consistent, and editing said mistakes constitutes a significant enough edit.


 * I should have checked it more thoroughly the first, sorry about that. MrDupin (talk) 14:28, September 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, little things having special meaning is always a tricky one, but one could say that for pretty much anything (for example, spelling mistakes making out a message). I think it is much more probable that these are actual mistakes rather than intentional. In The Flash Drive, because it had content related to computers, I checked if the double-spacing translated into binary and came up with nothing.


 * For me, it would be considered pointsgaming when a user edits out the spacing issues, but does not edit other mistakes in the story, or if he binge-edits the issue across multiple stories. There, we have a problem. If someone does it once in a blue moon, we can hardly call that pointsgaming.


 * About the trailing spaces, I remember when Humboldt had a problem in one of his stories and after I removed the spacing, everything was fine. I think it had to do with custom tabs that text editors often have, probably these don't translate well into the wiki. Maybe I will test it out if I'm in the mood. I even wrote a little program to fix them automatically every time I edit, just to be safe. Of course, if the spaces don't produce an actual error, editing them out doesn't constitute a significant edit in itself, I totally agree. MrDupin (talk) 16:27, September 12, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I did read the rules. I thought my story was properly proofread and formatted, although there's a possibility it isn't showing up the same on my laptop as it is for you. Could you help me by telling me what issues there were, since you said there were several? I'm a bit confused.

Jay Ten (talk) 01:48, September 14, 2016 (UTC)

My bad, My bad
Yeah, I'm not sure how I accidentally posted the story to my page-- I definitely did not want it there. Sorry about that!

I also didn't realize that I had been warned for the category issue either prior to adding them. My bad, again! I guess I just kinda suck a bit.

Adminship
I had a little thing to take care of, so I didn't have time to write an application. I will probably start writing it tomorrow. Your video will serve as a great source of motivation, rest assured. MrDupin (talk) 02:34, September 14, 2016 (UTC)

No problem boss. And really, you shouldn't be so harf on yourself.

 * Agreed. While I can't say for certain if adminship would be in my sights in the distant future, I'm definitely going to be sticking around here for a while. Which kind of brings up something I thought of. I noticed a few select users had the "Discussion Moderator" right (Including Mr. MrDupin who seems to have adminship coming his way in the near future). I'm not familiar with what the right entails, but if it serves as a sort of extra stepping-stone to sysop, then I would probably be interested in attaining/applying for it sometime in the future if possible. If it allowed me to delete/change things I Curry-ntly can't, then I think I would be able to help out here a little more. Again, not sure what it actually does, and I don't mean to impose, just putting this out there. I've just got a good deal of time that I can put into watching the wiki, and I'd like to help as much as possible.

Thanks Emp, much appreciated. As for my powers, the only reason I wanted them was for the orange username. I hated the rollback lime-green.

Rest assured though, I will totally not burn the place to the ground. MrDupin (talk) 14:06, September 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the followup on the deletion. And if you don't mind me asking, if a story is unfinished + it doesn't meet the QS, what template were you leaving on the talk page? The QS one or the Unfinished?


 * Or were you leaving a message on top of the template? MrDupin (talk) 21:25, September 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * Got it, thanks. MrDupin (talk) 21:35, September 20, 2016 (UTC)

A boring tale?
Hey Empy! If you're not to busy, could you spare a moment to look at my new story in the workshop? It's called "Boring Johnny" and as you might expect from me, it's fairly short (just under 800 words).

Also, it's so strange to see you as not an admin. Does this mean I can let all the salt fly at your face without repercussions?

Nachtrae (talk) 09:43, September 26, 2016 (UTC)

So you gave me a warning for no apparent reason? I'm just goint to ignore it anyway. lol Don't do it again. ThanksNotrepere (talk) 06:09, September 29, 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Empy. I was here to ask this question: Since you make advice blogs, could you make one on making an interesting first paragraph to a story? I am about to completely revise a novelette, and was considering ensuring my opening paragraph is as eye-opening as possible. Thanks for your time.

Sorry!
Hello!

I am terribly sorry for my action that seemed to be "Pointsgaming". I did not know of the rule, and I will try to brush up more on the rules so I can avoid doing any other violation next time. Thanks for pointing it out to me, and I will try my best to avoid doing it again in the near future.

Thanks!

Hello. I've noticed I can't post my micro fiction because of something called "illegal chars." What's that, and how do I fix it?

Creeper50 (talk) 23:07, October 11, 2016 (UTC)creeper50

Strait v Straight
Hey, I noticed you reversed the straitjacket edit. I think by this stage now the spelling 'straight' is acceptable but the name does actually refer to a 'strait' which not only refers to a narrow watery passage but can also refer to a situation characterized by trouble, difficulty, and limited options (the origin of the latter meaning derives from sailor's experiences navigating the difficult waters around 'straits'). Consequently the word 'straitjacket' derives its name not from the word 'straight', but from the word 'strait' as seen here. Like I said before I think both spellings are acceptable so the original edit was hardly the most useful thing and I think your reversion was justified - but I did think it was something you might like to know because the etymology itself is quite interesting ChristianWallis (talk) 14:16, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

There Goes the Neighborhood
I knew it was only a matter of time before the Emp-Supremacists moved onto my block. No worries. I'll definitely be leaving your message since it pointed out the specific issues rather than my annoyed message of "Write better!" that I left on their talk page. Thanks for helping with it.

Hiya, just wanted to say that you're doing a brilliant job as admin and you're part of the reason as to why this wiki has improved greatly from how it was a few years ago.

Keep up the good work,

Question for the Old Man
I know you stepped down more than a month ago. But my brain is basically on Windows 95 and has a maintenance time of a few weeks. I was a bit curious, why did you decide to step down? I get that now you're busier and can't spent as much time here, but did you have to give up admin rights? Skelly, Slosh and Cleric spend much less time here than you, but they didn't need to step down (not complaining though). So, why did you do it?

You bring the bodies, I handle the rest (talk) 14:24, October 14, 2016 (UTC)

I see. I read that blog, but my high-maintenance brain didn't store it very well. You have really done a lot in the time here and it is only fair if you decided to step down. Cheers.

Story
Hey man, just wanted to say I enjoyed your recent submission, but I also wanted point out these couple sentences that don't feel right.

"The police reasoned that the person was probably a first time offender and was in a hurry when I contacted them after a week of waiting."

"I grilled Jason and Tommy for a few minutes before I realized I was scaring them before I told them to go to bed and to forget this"

The first one feels like "when I contacted them after a week of waiting" needs to be moved to the beginning or something like that.

The second one has to do with flow. The middle section "before I realized I was scaring them before I..." doesn't feel right. It could be fixed with either a slight rewording or some punctuation between "scaring them" and "before". Maybe an em dash, but even a comma would probably work.

I also changed "family movie week" to "family movie night" in your story, but wasn't positive if you wanted the word to be "night". Thought you might have preferred "weekly family movie" or something like that. Just knew "week" didn't fit. Make sure to give my edit a look in case you'd prefer different fixes.

 * Yep. I think I'll take it a section at a time since it's a bit lengthy (that's what she never said).


 * Jay Ten (talk) 19:12, October 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * You bastardus. You found a subject I almost can't handle.  I made it through the intro without fear-crying, but we'll have to see about the rest.  The only thing I noticed wasn't really a mistake, but something I thought you might want to hear about.  In the first paragraph you use "Most of the medical field regarded the first case as an elaborate hoax" and in the second paragraph there is "Most medical communities denounced her reports as a hoax".  Just thought you might want to adjust something.

Section Two
Just finished the second section. Here are some sentences that could use a look:

The woman cursed and jerked at the metal in an attempt to pull it open, but didn’t have the strength to rip it open. ("it open" twice)

The man was likely scavenging the supermarket too and he knew that he would likely look in the pharmacy for medicine eventually. ("likely" twice)

He had hoped his unexpected retreat would catch the man off guard but he was prepared for this. (the switching of who "he" is makes this one seem off)

He wondering how much Courtney would have loved to see him cowering in a dumpster.

Layne came to a decision as he stood in the middle of the street, stinking like trash (something needs to go here I think) with the realization that he had been moments away from a bullet-filled death dawning on him. (maybe the whole sentence could use rewording?)

Other things:

I removed the word "before" in one instance because it was used earlier in the sentence and I believe it was accidentally left behind after you had done some rewording.

I removed "up" for the same reason.

Lastly:

"The reality of the situation drove into him like a drill into the forearm" (very nice, clever choice)

Section Three
Just a few things to look at in this section:

he could use the well to replenish his story (wasn't sure what word you wanted)

He was too driven by his excitement to not hear the lock disengage when he turned the key. (this sentence snapped my immersion. I think it's meant to be something like "to notice the lock didn't disengage" or "to notice he didn't hear the lock disengage")

The man began to throttle and rock Layne’s in an attempt (something missing)
