This guide on micro pastas should help if you are wondering why your short story was deleted.

Maybe it was an NSFW pasta, if so, this guide has you covered.

Or maybe it was a more emotion driven story that you're wondering about what went wrong.

Apologies
Sorry. I was going to ask a question on a story deletion when I deleted part of this page. I must have deleted something, besides my deletion question, on accident. These pages are rather laggy in deletion and sometimes I can delete more than intended. My apologies.

Re: Thanks for the analysis of my story and you are correct. It wasn't finished. You see... My computer has a lot of issues with wiki, minus messing up all of my paragraphs, capitalization, etc.., and it reacted badly while I was copy and pasting that story. The end result being an unfinished version. As for two of your comments, the use of "estranged" was, in fact, intentional and, in my opinion, proper. I was referring to the idea that most people have a personal and fond relationship with their middle school/ middle school years. The idea was that because of that love many people personify those places, yet this one is devoid of that love or relationship due to whatever reason, making the children within harsh and cruel. You, of course, can disagree. As for the capitalization of "Mama and Papa" this too is very intentional as the story shifts to describe the incident from a child's perspective and, like many children, the narrator viewed his or her parents to be above all and deeply important. This leads to the capitalization as crucially important words are often capitalized. The others were not capitalized because the narrator was older at that time and, if you had read the parts of the story that were not included, lost respect for them. The mother lost the narrators respect through her glorification of the grandmother's death and the grandmother through her "ungraceful" death, making them unimportant and, therefore, not capitalized. As for the accidental deletion, I started to write an appeal and then thought better of it, which is why there was none posted here. I have taken to not asking admins to put my work back up because of the fact that they always delete or place them on review before my computer actually allows me to properly upload the story I wish to submit. This has become increasingly annoying and I've simply decided to no longer submit stories as I have little to no time to get them in correctly before this happens. This is more of a personal computer issue, but rather annoying just the same. I am impressed by how quickly admins respond though. It's nearly instantaneous. I did, however, oddly like the way the story turned out in its unintentional form. It was oddly nearly cohesive. I find that some of the most creative moments are the ones where things go wrong. I enjoyed the lack of rational format, sounding almost schizophrenic or a delusional as many people with such disorder are missing complete formations of thoughts and words, an example being word salad. I see that you did not, but that's alright, differing opinions make the world more interesting. I apologize for taking up your time and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Why was my "Carter" Creepypasta deleted? It's not related to the one's deleted by LOLSkeletons.

http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Carter?venotify=created

I've also want to have a grammar check and fix,if there are some grammar mistakes.

I wanted to thank you for your in depth analysis of my story "The Danse" You pointed out key details that I did not notice (obviously). You also pointed out wording that I thought was fine but pointed them out making me wonder how it was possible for me to miss them. I did however feel like you interpreted the ending wrong. I do blame this on myself because I left it to a few details that the reader had to catch and perhaps I should of put more to help the reader. If you did replace the arms race details you would get an entirely diffrent ending. The ending is supposed to be that everyone at the dance died. This is why the cunclusion of the story is the main character looking at a danse macabre (dance of death. The two men symbolize with pins symbolize, as well as the story, what could have been say a nuclear war happened. This is what happens at the end as the two men drop their jars (which symbolize the bomb) and everyone at the dance dissapears (dies). At the ending our main character ends up in a bunker, and sees the painting making him realize what he had just attended, a danse macabre. Let me make myself clear, I am not saying my pasta should have been published, but through the questions you asked in the edit I felt that they needed to be adressed. I am truely thankful for your in depth analysis of the pasta and it has helped me for future refrence

Something that concerns you and the whole damn wiki
Hey Empy, just want to let you know about this if you still don't know it. I've made a blog about it; you can find it here.

 Ruckus Q uantum   15:58, May 17, 2016 (UTC)

Just wondering..
Hey Empy, just wondering why my story was immediately deleted? I very highly doubt someone has already written something just like this. I read everything and didn't see any rules I broke. It was called "The Boy of my Dreams". Thanks!--Skittles22003 (talk) 19:03, May 19, 2016 (UTC)

He's Back!
So I recently got another message from Logan Vernier recently. This is the message he sent on this wiki: "You're my cancer blood cell. I have no more friends & I know that makes you happy because you LOVE pain from such motherfuckers. Do you think there's more? Remember to stay away from me. Stay with Mike forever, my cancer blood cell. I'm gonna return to my internet hiatus trying to be happy. Logan Vernier (talk) 13:27, May 19, 2016 (UTC)" 

Would this type of message be considered harassment on this wiki? Because it certainly looks like it to me. He's still been constantly harassing me offsite so I don't think he's one to say "Remember to stay away from me". I've been blocking every YouTube and Skype account he has made and he's still trying to contact me. So if anything, I'm actually doing everything I can to NOT contact him. To top it all off, now he's starting to harass me on this wiki!

So I thought it would be fitting if you read my latest pasta and told me what you think. I don't actually write pasta's a lot anymore, life's been too good lately for me to want to get lost in the macabre of a site like this.

re: blogical
Hey the green man deal was posted as a blog posrt because I thought the story was INTERESTING but ultimately not an actual creepypasta you know? Like I don't think it should be uploaded because A) it's a campfire story and B) I didn't make it up myself. Plus I wanted to not just post the story but also comment on it etc, which I don't think(?) you can really do with regular creepy pasta stories.

Either way I don't get why there are even rules limiting blog posts, I mean I can understand limiting like... harmful behavior from blogs and terrible pasta's but just limiting whether or not stories can be written in blogs doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I mean either way, if it was just about the possibility that I posted it as a blog post by.. accident I don't get that either. I clearly know how you're supposed to UPLOAD stories, it's just writing good ones that I have a problem with haha.

Long story short, I wrote it as a blog post because I had thoughts on the Green Man that went beyond just wanting to put the story on a place on the internet.

EtherBot (talk) 19:38, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

Re: re: blog
But why is it against site rules? Like I won't reupload the post but at least explain how creative content on personal user blogs needs to be limited to things other than campfire stories

As soon as I posted my story it got deleted, It follows the quality guidelines and I'm not sure how someone could have read it and found fault with it as soon as it went up.--Geek2max (talk) 04:49, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

Writer's Workshop Rules
Hey Travis,

A couple of days ago you removed my post from the writers workshop, "A trial in hell(final version)" You didn`t really explian exactly why you removed it,as it was from the wriers workshop,and not the actual wiki.All what you said was that it"Voilated forum ruled" If you could explain to me exactly why it was removed,that would be great.

Re: Story Deletion
I saw that you deleated my story The Slithering Shadow. I do supect the reason being for that is cliches (or at least partially so.) but it would make more sense to me to be told what you thought didn't meet the standards when it came to said story. I'm sorry for taking up your time with this. I do plan on submitting my story to the Writer's Workshop, but I'd also like to know exactly your reasoning. Again, sorry for taking up your time.

Jd 2456 (talk) 19:06, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to point out all those flaws with my story. I see all the points you made and I understand the flaws there. There were some things I feel you didn't quite get a few things, like that superfluous and off conversation, wasn't quite superfluous and it was supposed to be off. At that point you were supposed to question whether what's going on is actually happening or if it was just the main character not being all there. Though the fault is a lot less of you not getting it and it was a failure on my part to properly convey that.

Before I submit it to the writer's workshop, I think you've given me good criticism to start fixing up my story. So it seems it will be a revised version I'll be submitting there. Once again, thank you :)

Jd 2456 (talk) 21:39, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

I get what you were saying, man. As I said, the problem there was that I didn't convey what I wanted to properly, and of course the progression of the conversation is part of the problem. Still though, thanks for all the criticism here. It's much appreciated. :)

¿ Desbloquear La Larga Lista, por favor?
Hey good buddy. I hope you are doing well. When are you coming to San Francisco to get drunk with French Touch and me? Open invitation, dog, we'll hang out on Jack Kerouac Street (it's more of an alley, but still).

So, I was hoping I could get you to unlock The Long List for me so I can make a couple very minor changes.

Thanks so much, man.

HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 20:33, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

All done. Thank you very much, kind sir. I don't even know if four lokos is legal in California, but if me, you, Jay and French Touch were in an alley it would definitely be four locos, or quatro gringos locos. Maybe we could start smuggling four lokos to the states where it's illegal, and drink all our profit up! Is that shit cheaper than Robitussin? The Tus has been giving me wicked hangovers lately and I'm looking for a new drug. I'm off the bath salts after I ate that homeless guy's face. Very unfortunate incident. I blame the slender man for that one. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 21:07, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

Very interesting about Hemingway. I guess it goes to show that you write about what you know, if you drink it write it.

Story deletion
hi so i was wondering exactly why you deleted my story. you couldn't have had time enough to read it seeing as it wasn't even up for maybe 3 seconds before it was deleted. the grammar is good and the spelling is right. so i'm just wondering why my Yume Carnage origin story was removed.

Dearly sorry about adding too many categories to my newest story. I was under the impression you had to tag your story with all that could be technically applicable. So, again, sorry. I just wanted to know if it was okay to add "beings" and "Devils/Demons" together or if it could be only one? Just wondering.

what did I do wrong?
Christopher Avilez (talk) 04:45, May 28, 2016 (UTC) before I begin I would like to start out by giving you some background about me. I have frontal lobe damage. in case you don't know what that is I will tell you. I had a bad fever when I was an infant. I survived but the afromentioned fever caused me to get damage to the front part of my brain. so I became developmentally delayed meaning I can't understand most things that an adult my age would. so when you tell me what I did wrong rather than just telling me I did something wrong, you have to explain it to me simple like you would explain to a small child. when you deleted my posts I got concerned. please tell me what I did wrong on it and explain to me how to do better next time.

Hi Empy,

I an not trying to be a jerk here, but I have trouble editing my posts in WW. I am not asking for you to change the rules or for a special exception to them. I just wanted to let you know. Additionally I have a question about how it works. When I am able to edit it, my work does not update to recent. This means the only people that will view or comment on my work are those that have already seen it. This prevents the work from being seen by new, or more experienced eye post edit. I understand that you want to prevent duplicate stories, but I think if a story gets edited it should move back to the top of the list. I do foresee an issue where a person could continually delete a period and add it back pushing their story up. This can be aleviated by using the same method you use currently.

By allowing as many people as possible to view a work the authors can be sure that they are presenting the best possible piece most likely to be accepted. Thanks for your time.

Demuerto 16:01, May 28, 2016 (UTC)Demuerto

Thank you for letting me know the reason for the WW rule. It does make sense. Unfortunately I take a long time on revisions, continuously rethinking what I want in a story and the direction I want it to go, even though I usually do not make major changes. Again, not asking for anything special, just wondering why. I will use the comments from now on. Thanks for your help.Demuerto 02:14, May 29, 2016 (UTC)Demuerto

Miscommunication
Okay, I think we had a breakdown in communication here. When you told me my story shouldn't have like 4-5 categories, I thought I understood what you meant: that I could add one. Now, the story is about ancient demons worshiped as gods by a primitive culture - so ultimately, I went with "Demons/Devils."

And then I got banned for a day and warned that I'll get even longer bans for adding categories the "wrong" way? I'm afraid I don't quite understand what I did wrong here. I added the story to one category that fit it, just like you said, and I was almost immediately punished for it.

I'm not sure if it was my fault for not understanding what you meant or if you misunderstood my intentions, but I'm not happy. I'm hoping we can resolve this somehow.

DoctorBleed (talk) 03:29, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

What exactly was wring with my story? I mean it was up for less than five minutes.

Granted it wasn't my best work but I'm new to writing horror. I don't think such a sudden deletion with no explanation was warrented.SarcasticDragon (talk) 03:55, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

First off, punctuation isn't my strong suit, I did my best and there are no spelling errors. Now for the part that actually "violated" your guidelines. Had you paid more attention, I specifically noted that The Rake had escaped prior to this from a separate cell. Given that you failed to notice that, it's hard for me to take your advice seriously. It is a multi-part story and I intended to expand on it immensely but there's only so much I can do in one night and I was trying to get this out before my birthday tomorrow, but whatever. SarcasticDragon (talk) 04:23, May 29, 2016 (UTC)--SarcasticDragon (talk) 04:23, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

I'm hardly deflecting the criticism, I'll admit I rushed it I just wasn't prepared to be so quickly shut down. The fact that it happened so quickly made it feel like an attack. And your condescending nature doesn't make me feel welcome on this wiki. I'm sure you can understand why I'm being defensive. SarcasticDragon (talk) 04:32, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

I wasn't discrediting you, I was simply noting that what is likely the most serious criticism was wrong.--SarcasticDragon (talk) 04:58, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

One last thing
With all this in mind, is it okay if I change "beings" to "demons/devils"? I want to use the more appropriate category without risking another ban.

I know. I noticed that when I was writing it, I considered just changing it to an origin story about the organization, I admit I should've thought it through more than I did.--SarcasticDragon (talk) 11:59, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

I'm gonna bother you about contests again
Alright, so in the past, I've asked about the possibility about hosting contests before, and life got in the way each time. Welp, I figure I mind as well give it another shot. Does the wiki have any summer contests planned? I haven't seen one here in awhile and wanted to try hosting one. Since it's summer, I figure now's as good a time as any to encourage this site's writers to get back to writing. I've been thinking about having a rather simple theme; no specific genre or style, just having a writer put out a well put together story (not unlike the Damn Fine Pasta contest that was held awhile back). I'll shoot you a more official proposal if you give me the go-ahead.

As always, thanks for your consideration. Whitix (talk) 23:46, May 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll get on it then! Thanks for letting me know. Whitix (talk) 23:55, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

An Official Proposal
I've been milling about the best way to phrase this, and I believe that this is the best way to get across what kind of stories I'm looking for: I want something interesting. That's it. No special genre or style needed; I simply want interesting stories. I'm looking for original and creative ideas and themes that I may not have seen before. New monsters, diverse and eccentric characters, stuff like that. It'd be nice to see something beyond the typical OCs that are submitted daily, haunted dolls, insane killers who kill because "the voices tell them to", or monsters that exist without any real purpose other than to kill people violently. I want something inspired and unique, you know?

I realize that this is a vague theme, but I don't necessarily think that's a problem. I don't want to limit people on what they write, only encourage them to try something that's never been done before. Obviously, most types of stories have been done before one way or another, but there's still plenty of room for originality in how the story is presented.

To help with this, I've created a list of a few unique writing prompts to help anyone should they struggle. Entrants aren't required to use one of them, but they're there as a sort of springboard if anybody is having trouble coming up with ideas.

I think that covers the basic "spirit" of the contest, so I'll list out the more mechanical parts of the contest.

I'm thinking that if the contest if greenlit, it should run through the entirety of June, and perhaps the first few days of July. I believe four weeks is ample time for such a contest.

I have no idea what to expect in terms of participation, so for the time being, myself and one or two other users will judge. I'll ask for judges in the contest announcement.

Here's my grading scale:

Grammar- 10 points, all or nothing. As long as the story meets the quality standards and is legible, then it'll receive all 10 points.

Style- 20 points. Sentence structure, imagery, word choice, description, etc. Anything that furthers the enjoyment of the story through the literature itself.

Originality/Interestingness- 20 points. The uniqueness of the content and its ability to grab and hold the reader's interest. The idea itself may have been done before, but they way it's presented affects this score. Honestly, these are mostly "feel good" points, as I realize that not everyone is exposed to the same media. As long as the story is interesting and enjoyable to read through, then the entrant will receive most of these points.

Content- 35 points. Above all, I just want to read a good story. Thus, that's where I'll allot most of the points. Points here are given based on plot, characters, flow of the story, and general enjoyment that is had while reading.

Creepiness- 15 points. This is a horror website after all, so of course this category must be present. Elements of horror and the story's ability to present creepy material are graded here.

Finally, in an effort to reward writers (and hopefully drum up more interest), I'm prepared to award winners with video games from Steam. I don't make much (gotta love that sweet, sweet, movie theater pay), but I'm willing to spend around $40-$60 on prizes for the winners. It was either this or Regal theater gift cards, but I figured that more people have access to Steam than a nearby Regal theater.

I think that about covers everything. Please let me know what you think; the sooner I can get this started the better! Whitix (talk) 05:56, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Go suck a dick.

Hello kind sir, this is MarioFan5050 here. You recently deleted a story of mine called "The Brass Box", and although this is not a deletion appeal I would like to know why my story did not meet the Quality Standards so I can improve upon it and hopefully reupload it. So, if you have time, could you enlighten me as to why my story was faulty?

Best regards,

Holy crap Empy, I'm so sorry about the userpage editing. My IPad was really laggy and while I meant to write my request in your talkpage somehow it went to your userpage. Again, sorry for the editing, and I hope you understand the situation.

Re: Re: Story Issues
I fixed the story issues to the best of my extent, so when you have time please confirm whether it's up to Quality Standards or not. Also, I integrated all of your advices except for the "Why did the parents use centipedes" part - I have seen many Creepypastas where the antagonists used exotic and random forms of torture, and besides I couldn't find a way to inconspicuously add the reason without making it sound too cheesy.

Hey, if you wouldn't mind me asking why my pasta was deleted. The message I received told me, but I would like some of the specifics. I tried to write a sort of cliche story, but not too much. I've been rewriting this pasta for a year, so when it got deleted it was a huge letdown. Sorry.

Request for Empyre's Book Club Sticker
I was wondering if you would please give me some feedback on a story that I'm writing whenever you have the time (no rush if you decide to. I'm always adding to it). It isn't a Creepypasta, but rather more of an anime-themed action story. Whether you do or don't have any sort of experience with that type of story doesn't matter to me, I'd just like to hear whether you think it is a good story or if it needs improvements here and there.

I'm actually going to make a Visual Novel out of it or will fail spectacularly while trying! You can read the story here: and you can read more about it and view the placeholder screenshots, if you are interested in that, here: Vroom's ego level may be approaching critical mass, but hopefully not! Otherwise, Vroom will make a massive fool of themself XD Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  19:10, June 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you! There's no rush, I can and will wait (actually, I won't because I'll still be writing and improving the story, but you know what I mean, lol). I really appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to read the things I write and give me feedback. I am looking forward to what you have to say, regardless of whether it is within a week, month, or year (though hopefully not the last one). Have fun with your friends :D Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  19:31, June 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Wow, that was super quick! Thank you! Alright, I'll go through and fix the issues tomorrow (bedtime now).


 * It can go either way. From my experience, both the backgrounds and character sprites tend to be very limited in number. The confusion there is a lack of clarification on my part. The setting isn't our Earth, rather it is set in an alternate setting. The blue sun was sort of the hint of that. I chose to go that route that way I wouldn't be bound to time periods and historical accuracies. Think of it as being set on Earth, but in a different universe/verse/multiverse.


 * You caught me! Back when I wrote that scene I wanted something a bit gross in the story as I wasn't sure at the time if I was writing a Creepypasta or not. It soon became evident that it wouldn't work as one, but I felt that it added a seriousness and grossness factor that was too good to take out. I made some assumptions about maggot therapy and hadn't researched it yet. I'll definitely make things line up with what you have said, so that it is accurate. I'd say that as it stands, it was a preventative measure and that she'll end up tearing off a portion of her shirt to wrap around it with the implication of her removing them later.


 * I'm planning on fleshing Niska out quite a bit further. I think that she may have a couple of different motivations, but her two biggest ones were: Her brother was about to do a thing that she deemed as wrong and awful, plus he tied her up (which he deemed for her own good, but despite that, I'd be pretty hurt and want to leave if someone tied me up) and she wants to see some more of the world. She may or may not have more intentions, but I haven't discovered them yet. Truthfully, I was a bit hesitant on sending her off with Ikari and even considered replacing it to where Ikari left her behind, but I feel like I can do a lot more with the two of them than I could with just Ikari. I don't have everything planned out beyond, "I am going to get my Phoenix back!" Heck, It was just today that I decided that it was made of Obsidian, despite having come up with the name Phoenix for it when I started the story XD


 * No need for an apology! You've done a lot and it is most appreciated. Thank you very much :) Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  07:00, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Why did my story "How to Talk to The Devil" get deleted? I've looked over the guidelines and I don't think I did anything wrong.

"Let's Make a Deal" deletion
why was "Let's Make a Deal" deleted? I'm not aware of any guidelines that I didn't follow.

MrJoshTheEpic (talk) 05:44, June 6, 2016 (UTC)

Opinion
You seem to be fairly active on the Writers Workshop, and your advice seems invaluable (if only more people would take it!). It just so happens that I could use some of your invaluable advice, as I have posted a Micropasta onto the Writers Workshop, and am in need of some feedback. I'm fairly new but from what I understand, Micropastas are hard to get accepted onto the Wiki. So if you could spare the time to review it, I would greatly appreciate it -- A_O. 

Total Accident
I just wanted to tell you that it was an accident. I was about to write the story, but suddenly the title got copied to the text and when I Tried to fix this, I accidentally hit the publish button

OK, I seriously have absolutely NO idea what I did wrong? I can maybe see what the problems were with the first two, and the third one was a troll post, but this has gone to far! I cannot see anything wrong with "Living a Lie." I seriously worked really hard on that. It is obvious to me that this site is (and specifically you are) far too persnickety for my tastes and only except 100% absoloute perfection! Therefore, I will not be writing on this goddamn site anymore!

GOODBYE!

Yo,

Once you and the other admins figure out the issues with the pasta I just posted, let me know, and I'll try to fix them if you take it down. If there are existing issues with some of the formatting, which can happen when you take a word document and paste it into a wiki, let me know what they are, and I'll fix them.

Isaac Swett (talk) 22:30, June 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Is it required to be completely grammatically correct? I tried to be for the most part, except for a couple of exaggerative statements. I don't see the errors in most of the quotes you cited. I generally make 90-94s on English papers. I also made a 96% and an 89% on the two English sections of the college placement test in South Carolina.
 * The Spoons pasta I posted had a lot more as far as awkward wording.
 * Additionally, what plot issues?


 * Isaac Swett (talk) 22:48, June 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's a good reason to have standards improved, certainly.

The police didn't let him back in - they had all been killed by the shooter in the previous scene. I thought that was blatantly obvious.

Restatement of facts I will probably agree with.

As far as the ending, he was killed, and was in some kind of Heaven of paradise. That is why he was not mourning.

I will also agree some with the part about the inherent horror of the situation not totally being there. I'll have to think on that some more.

Isaac Swett (talk) 22:57, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

I may have gotten confused myself. I should have said "a couple."

Hey man, I really appreciate your feedback. This was actually a third draft, but there's always room for improvement.

You still left one question unasnwered - is perfect grammar always a requirement?

Indent discontent
This story, in addition to having odd formatting, uses indents. I read in the quality standards that indents should not be used in stories, however the QS were referring to indents made using spaces. The indents in the story in question are made through coding, namely the line " <p style="text-indent:36.0pt"> ". I was wondering if indents were banned altogether, or if indents via coding were allowed, as with this story. Thanks

I would prefer you actually READ that story I wrote before deleting it. It's almost a complete rewrite from the orginal, and I beg you to please just READ it! It's barely the same story... I took days agonizing how to make it better than what it was. Please... just read it.


 * I never thought it was perfect in all honesty, but no in fact I had no clue what was blocking me. It talked about an extension hook, and I'm not tech-savvy enough to have known what that was. So I do apolgize, I just thought my computer or internet was shorting me. I'll just drop it, it's not like it's all the important anyhow. I'll just live with it.

Applying for rollback
Hey Emps! I think I need your help. Just lately, I was looking through the old closed rollback applications, and as I was skimming through, an idea hit me; I didn't need to ponder it and I knew I just had to do it... Well, I've been in Creepypasta Wiki for around two years now, and I'm sure as hell myself that I make quality edits on articles and have helped other users with their issues quite many times. So...

I just thought that I should "step up" a bit and occupy a higher position in the wiki. I was thinking of applying as an admin in the beginning, but held back as I knew I can't get up that high because of my inexperience (and the fact that I my edit count doesn't meet the required numbers). So I instead opted for the rollback position. As I've said, I looked through the closed applications and I can say that I have knowledge of the things I have to satisfy, but I think I need to hear it straight from you, just some sort of confirmation: what are the requirements I need to meet to be accepted as a rollback?

A quick question
Hey Empy,

I have written a poem which is in the WW and was wondering if it would be allowed on the Wiki. Just wanted to get an approval for this before I try to add it, no point if it is just going to get deleted.

Thanks,

JohnathanNash (talk) 23:52, June 9, 2016 (UTC)

Re: poem
Thanks Empy,

I didn't think it was scary at all, and I know next to nothing about poetry, so that's why I asked. If I felt confident that it would stay on the site I wouldn't' have asked, so I guess that shows where I stand on the piece. It was something that I've been holding onto, because I don't know what else to do with it. Maybe one day it will find a home, if I take the time to learn about poetry.

Thanks for your feedback too, that is a great place to start to learn, but in all honestly, I don't think I will. Poems have never did anything for me and I don't have that big of a goal to write any. Maybe if it has something to do with a story or something, but I could always just edit that out later.

JohnathanNash (talk) 01:19, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a whole different animal. It is easier to write what you read, and the extent of my knowledge of poetry comes from high-school and a book I've had when I was a kid. It's not really surprising that I cannot really write it well. I also have noticed that everything I've been writing lately is over 20k pages. I need to start reading some anthologies again if I want to keep writing something that will fit in a mag. Or start doing some serious editing, which is a problem for me, when it's hard for me to even try and edit basic things.

JohnathanNash (talk) 01:41, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry I forgot to sign the last bit, so I added it now so you know what is new and don't have to reread the same thing again.

I Kind of started another story with one of the characters from Voice Messages, which I didn't think I would ever have done, because it was kind of a one and done. A quick idea that I had and just started writing, and it came out okay. But this new one isn't working as well as I would like it to, so I don't know if I am going to keep it up. I may just drop it.

I don't know about you, but if I take a break from writing I start to lose creativity and it's hard for me to write a story. I will get an idea, but can't seem to form it into a full story. So I will write a lot of shit, but leave it halfway through because I don't like how it's coming out. Maybe I should try to power through it, but that just seems like the end result will be terrible.

JohnathanNash (talk) 01:41, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

That's funny. I've gotten to a point where I know not to try and publish everything I write, and edit things. I feel like character development is one of my weaker points in a lot of my stories. The story I'm writing now falls victim to that as well, which is why I am going to scrap it. I don't really know how to build this asshole up more.

But that's okay, because I have a few that are good stories, but it comes to my second weak point, editing. I can't help but just look at the page, I don't even have to read a word, and think: "Ah, I'll do that later," and let it sit on my computer for ages. When I finally get a good number of stories I think are up to par, then I will start publishing them. It's just the nightmarish thought of editing. It keeps me up at night knowing I'll have to do it sooner or later if I want to really be taken serious, and I don't know if it's really that important to me now.

Anyway, I'm going to look at the first page of one of those stories, then start writing something else now.

Cheers,

JohnathanNash (talk) 02:09, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

I wish to respond to some of your critique; I greatly appreciate the feedback, but some of it was intentional.

The awkwardness is implicative of a man barely holding on to sanity; he completely relies on control and repitition to keep himself marginally sane, and the repeating of the same phrases and patterns is similar in purpose to a mantra. This is continued from the first entry, I Am.

He would not have been preparing to defend himself, and was writing instead, in the Vault due to the fact that:

A. his only weapon was the pistol, whose single bullet he used at the end of the first story. If they managed to rip their way through an eighteen inch steel door, which is the only exit, he will have no chance of escape. The only reasons he managed to kill one of Them in I Am is that he had an actual gun, and he confused his target greatly before defending himself.

B. He is anxiety-wracked and is reaching for his familiar taks; there is even a section in I Am where he is writing while running, and even apologizes for the decrease in the quality of his penmanship.

The rampant mis-capitalization was due entirely to the fact that I was treating the words as proper nouns, as the names of locations. The Vault, the Cellar, the Rooftop-these are all reaccuring locations that are important to the plot. The character is not exactly the most creative person on the subject of names, and often names things in an exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin sort of way. It's one of the quirks that I attempted to make a part of the character.

Despite the minor objectiosn here, I will be reworking the story up to my current standards, which are much higher than they were then. I will make another appeal at that time; thank you for your attention and time.

Something fishy
Hey Emps. Can you check out this blog post ? Seems like roleplaying to me.

I'm not spamming I'm saying thank you to someone on this site I used their story for.

I won't do it for other stories I get off this site, but only to give thanks.

Something fishy wtf

I'm not trying to sneak anything or be a asshole I think I'm in the right here.

Now I'm asking I can't thank someone and post that video up to show them where they can see the narration of their works, is this correct?

Errors
There are a few errors I found on the locked Slenderman pasta The Blank Face. They are as follows:

"The following is a witness's rencounter of their incident with The Slender Man". "Man" needs a period at the end. Also, I am a little unsure of what the author means by "rencounter".

"In it’s place". Should be "its".

"tendrils as black as the void itself snake around through the cracks". "snake" should be "snaked" as this is in the past.

"one of her sister’s doctor’s". "doctor's" should be "doctors".

Thanks.

Paul Tremblay
A Head Full of Ghosts author Paul Tremblay, whom I'm sure you remember I interviewed last year for The Writer's Lounge Volume Eight, just sent me an advanced copy of his new novel--Disappearance at Devil's Rock--for review and said he'd liked to do another interview. Would you like me to interview him about his new novel for the Writer's Lounge and post a review? HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 05:52, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think adding this onto a blog that's nearly a year old will do it justice. Honestly, the only reason I'm offering it to the wiki is because everyone else I've gone to has already intereviewed him. If you want this exclusive interview you are going to have to post it as a new blog. Google this guy, he's a big deal and this new novel is a big deal and I'm not going to do anything to make this look second rate. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 06:04, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Well, I think if Slime Beast or Banning were coming out with a new novel that was eagerly anticipated by the public, while their last one was being turned into a major motion picture, it would warrent a second interview. But suit yourself, it's all good. I actually have another site that I'm pretty sure is going to want this interview to happen, though I think it would get more exposure here.
