I will not argue with any of the criticism being offered to me here. As harsh as I feel it came across, I thank you all for it.

I know that if you believe I'm a troll then it'll be hard to believe me when I say this, but I've never had malcious intentions on this site. I fell in love with creepypastas while listening to them as bedtime stories (oddly enough) on youtube, and that's what has inspired me to try and create some of my own.

I figured since my very first official creepypasta (Road of Recurrence, found on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4mkD6wfy3g ) recieved a high amount of praise both on and off this site, I could continue to make more enjoyable stories. My belief in my talent was only reinforced by regular users and admins alike, who were supportive of me on my talk page esp. at first. I think Cleric was even one of them.

I guess my attitude towards the site became extremely skeptical when, after many months of making highly enjoyed short stories (micropastas), a single admin deleted all my work overnight. Even though some logical reasons were given to me later on, at the time and even now it just seemed like the site had a personal bias against me, and that belief has greatly affected my attitude (and willingness to believe negative feedback), sadly.

I want you all to understand that I came back to this site for the sole purpose of getting back into writing, because this is the only website that motivates me to write and I see it as one of the most productive uses of my freetime. I have been doing my best to avoid getting emotional, or even involved in the social areas of the site so that I could do just that, focus on my stories. However it appears to me that may be impossible to do, as doing something as simple as asking for additional feedback can be misconstrued into me acting entitled, whiny and closed minded towards any feedback (even though I have taken the time to rewrite just about every part of the story I was given feedback on prior to Jay's comment.)

In other words, it definitely looks to me that I'm not wanted here because of my past. I will scrap this story as Jay has pointed out enough flaws to make it appear unsalvageable, and I will take another break from the site (probably until another story idea comes to me later on). Hopefully then some of the emotions tied to my past actions will have died down, and I can try writing on here without the hostility again.
