User blog comment:Widward/top 10 worst creepypastas/@comment-25052433-20180123060547/@comment-25052433-20180123072505

It's all good Widward, I'm just having some fun making little stories out of negative comments. I have no issue with you not enjoying Jeff the Killer 2015. No one can please everyone. Writing is a lot like being a chef in a restaurant with no menu. You're trying to make something nice for a dining room full of hungry customers but you have no idea what they like, hate or might be alergic to. You just do your best to not burn the roast and try to make a nice presentation on the plate.

I think if I were to offer you any advice, it would be this: state your opinions as opinions, not facts. You've already posted two blogs with a colleciton of stories that you stated should be moved to Trollpasta. A 'trollpasta' is an intentional form of bad writing. To imply that works that were not constructed to be trollpastas belong on a site intended for stories written specifically to be terrible is not only incorrect, but also suggesting that the authors of those stories deserve to essentially be humiliated in the process.

Even if every one of those stories you listed failed to meet our Quality Standards, we wouldn't move them to another wiki to shame the author. We'd delete the story for the applicable reason. If the author requested feedback on why it was deleted, we'd provide that. If they asked for help in fixing their story or advice on how to make their next story stick, we'd help them with that. We don't, however, go out of our way to embarass of defame anyone by intentionally placing their work on a wiki designed for purposfully bad stories.

You also commented twice on Jeff the Killer 2015 that it should be moved to Trollpasta. What was the purpose of posting that twice? Furthermore, if you really wish to express why you disliked a story, do so by providing a constructive, coprehensive review. It's not up to you to decide if a story is deleted or moved or whatever, but you do have the right to express your opinion. Just remember, people can also express their opinion of your feedback, so aim high and avoid the low hanging fruit.

You later posted a blog listing your ten least favorite stories. You offered no context as to why you felt those stories were bad. It's fine if you dislike them, but if you're going to publically express that opinion, make sure you format it as that, an opinion. The list you gave isn't the top ten worst creepypastas, it's "YOUR" top ten worst creepypastas. Just like the trollpasta blog, it's not a matter of those stories needing to be moved there, it's you feeling that they should be moved there.

I know this may seem I'm over analysing, but this is a literature site, your typed word is essentially your identity here, so when you choose to express something, ensure that you are doing so in a manner that still respects the nature of this community.

We are not here to tear each other down, we are here to build eachother up.

As I said before, I don't have an issue with you disliking anything that I write. Of course as a writer it's my goal to produce something that everyone will enjoy, but in this business that's a pipe dream. With that said, you have made your point.

If I could make any suggestion to you, it would be to take a break from posting about all the things you dislike around here and actually dive into the community a bit. Tell us about yourself, what do you like in stories, what are some works in progress that you have etc etc etc. Hit that random story button and check out some new stuff.

If you want to check out some of my other stories, they're all on my profile page. I'd personally suggest Secret Bar as that was my first story published on this site. I have a little description next to each one, so find something that interests you and dig in.

In closing, there's no hard feelings and I don't want you to think I'm picking on you with these little responses. It is all in good fun. I promise you that if you actually reach out to the people on this wiki and engage with them, you'll find some wonderful and brilliant writers and folks worth knowing.
