Re:
I'm sorry, can you give me some tips on a VideoGame pasta?

RE: M4R
Oh, alright, excuse me. Due to the phrasing of the template, I thought that it was admin-only. In that case, I'll start using it.

FrenchTouch (talk)

Hi Jay Ten,

I wrote the story : "He made me do it", and I would like some help and some ways to improve it. I'm not angry, but I would like to know why :)

I'd really like to find out what I did wrong, so I can act on it.

Thanks, zdang

Thanks for the tips, your a great help. I do agree, it was a bit too rushed. Thanks for the help

Happy Thanksgiving you sick, existential, and absurd bastard
Try not to drink too much Gray Goose and upset your family with your dark pondering on the irrational and meaningless nature of the universe. :) HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 14:14, November 26, 2015 (UTC)

Saturday Night Live segment
Recently I saw part of a Saturday Night Live special with Halloween segments, and this made me laugh until I nearly lost my breath. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItuYSxjDq_8 I was so busy laughing that I didn't even notice at first that Hugh Laurie was one of the players. It was my mom who asked, "Isn't that that doctor?" Raidra (talk) 00:16, November 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * I did, thanks. I hope you did too.  That segment just got more and more wrong as it progressed.  To top it all off, once the real ghost starts calling to them they decide to drop the whole thing and leave. "Julian..." ~laughs~ Raidra (talk) 14:03, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Just so you know...
You should NickyXX on your short yet growing "Wiki authors worth checking out" list​. I've read her pastas, and they were insanely good. Too bad she's quite underrated. You should check out her works. I'm sure you'll be surprised.

RE:
Heheh, yeah, one day I might change it to something totally random just to confuse you.

I only actually remembered I was going to change it because you change yours, so thanks for that.

Hey just want to say sorry for earlier. my little brother posted the story before i sent it to the workshope page. i dont know why he did it but thanks for deleting it before it was too late.

Hello I wrote the story Forever in His Darkness, I just would like to know why it got deleted. I keep wondering if I did the format wrong on it and if I fixed the errors if I could resbumit it?

Ahh, I see I must ask and this is a silly question, but where can I find source mode?

Thank you
Jay,

Thanks for the b-day wishes! My new job has me working almost everyday, so I'm not sure when it'll be time for cake, but I'll make sure to stuff myself stupid when the time comes.

Have a great week brother!

Highlight contest?
Hey Jay,

I've decided to hop on the contest hosting bandwagon. I know other contests have been spotlighted in the admin blog feed before and wanted to see if there's any way I could get mine there to increase participation. Let me know if I need to run it by any of the other admins first (you were the most recently active one I saw)

Message to admins
Hi, I wrote this "story" (you can find it here: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:514480 ), Empyrallnvective thought it was just a troll pasta but it was in fact a way to criticize the site's policy. I'll copy what I wrote on his talk page (it's destined to him at first, but the critize and suggestions should be read by every admin)

It's a shame you took my "story" like a troll pasta, it was a way to criticize this site's policy.

And don't think I'm only complaining about my deleted stories, in fact, I don't care: I'll post them elsewhere, other people will read them, it is the same for me.

I have read some stories that were deleted and I must say that some were creepeier than most of the admins' stories I have read.

You may have good skills in English, but you have no peticuliar tallent in writing, as everyone here. And you know why? Because talented writers make a living out of it. So stop geing condescendant by denying someone's envy to tell a story (s)he imagined just because you found an insignificant mistake/bad choice of word/...

I spoke with other members and with people on reddit (who were also members), many of them think that I have a point.

But I'm not here just to criticize, I'd like to give suggestions to make this site better.

This system (publishing, deletion, deletion appeal) doesn't work (you can see by yourself all the denied appeals on the page) and it means loads of good stories that won't be published.

What can you do instead? Well, first of all, the workshop should be easier to spot and helping members should be rewarded (it means less work for the admins). You can also give tools to auto correct the grammar. Then, a story won't be published immediately, it would go to a "pending zone" where admins, moderators,... will personally help the writer to correct everything. This will work way better than deleting a story, asking for a revised copy and denying the deletion appeal because the writer didn't spot this peticuliar virgule misplacement.

Now, this "I've already seen this premise somewhere": I have read excellent Stephen King's novels that reminded me some other autors. And here too, I have read stories that had something in common with another one. It is ineviatble and you will miss a lot of good stories if you systematically delete stories that have a common point with another one. For example, one of my stories about a scarecrow was deleted because there already was another story with a scarecrow. The stories were completely different, except that they both had a scarecrow involved.

So now, you should have a talk with the other admins, because you have 2 options:

- You change nothing and keep believing that you all are masters of horror on their throne, deleting peasants' stories

- You apply my advice, make changes in your policy and make this site great

Zombie Narration
Hello, do you remember helping me with The Zombie Apocalypse Sucks? I thought you might get a kick out of the narration https://youtu.be/b1cxyKlC8GA KillaHawke1 (talk) 21:52, December 14, 2015 (UTC)

Cool Cat's Spooky Crimbo
Yo, this is the creator of Cool Cat's Spooky Crimbo here, I apologise for making that, and I am fully aware of what I have done, but can you please send me the story I wrote, so I can post it to the Trollpasta wiki, or do you plan to put it there yourself? I promise I won't make another Trollpasta here.

MrConnman123

Edit: Thanks, I appreciate it, once again, I'll never spam this wiki again.

Hi.

Someone left me this message:

"hey umm do are you the author or do you know the name of the author who wrote " The Story of My Only Friend Who Killed Himself, Age 11?"

Would you please be able to help me find who sent it as there is no signature? Or, if you are reading this, please tell me your username so I can reply.

Cheers,

RE: Archiving
Thank you for fixing this. I appreciate the help. Do you think there's still enough on the first Archive then?

Seasons Greetings!
Check it out, my most absurd story to date: A Noel in Black. I really tried to cross genres here. It starts as pulp, then moves to transgressive, into horror, then absurd, then straight up bizarro, and in the end I try to redeem myself with a montage of literary merit. Of course the whole thing is just one big elaborate joke. I guarantee you will be laughing your ass off you sick fuck. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 17:17, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Whazzaaaaap?
Thanks Jay. Life has been very hectic lately. I do still check in at least once a week. I finally got some time to write today. I just started a story and have the first two chapters done. I'll put it in the writers workshop for critique in a few minutes and i'll create a blog with the link. I so want to host the freestyle contest again but feel like it wont have the same magic it once had. I don't know man. what do you think? Merry Chritmas Bro. Thanks for reaching out. Blacknumber1 (talk) 19:37, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me to post my screenplay in the writer's workshop. By the way, could you give critique on it? Thanks.

Creeper50 (talk) 20:53, December 24, 2015 (UTC)Creeper50

Thank you. I have made my decision.
Sincerely, fuck you.

No really. Fuck you. Now before you go on to think that this is just senseless anger being tossed at you, I would like to give my input on something.

You, and everyone else that is so stern with their rules and conditions, are the reason I did not come back to this site for a very long time. I had forgotten the reason I had even left this site and why I thought it was a waste of time. Then here you come to remind me.

You're just an admin, I understand that, but you make the choice to act or not to act. When I came back, I thought "Why not? Can't go too badlly." A story is created, and it is posted on here for people's enjoyment. Honestly, I have seen some terrible creepypasta accepted here. Stories that have grammar so faulty to the point that you cannot understand what the author is trying to say. Ideas based around the most boring, predictable, gore fest characters. Logically, I would've thought that stories that you simply cannot read and are just effortless in nature would be the ones to be removed. Not some story with a decent plot and a decent character as well as decent spelling.

Believe it or not, coming from my perspective, it took some good effort to make my idea come out the way it did. I am not telling you to put it on the highest pillar of writing creativity known to man, or any high standerd of the sort, but to just accept it for being a decent job at story telling.

I don't think I could stand one day being an administrator on this site. At least, not if I'm told to take down anyone's stories despite them being readable and indifferent to others in some way.

So thanks to you, I'm going to remove my account from this website, and I'll go somewhere that's less harsh on creativity.

I came here to share ideas and have fun.

Not to be punished by the highest degree of writing standards that I had ever seen.

By the way...

=RE: Trolling= You seemed to have blocked me for trolling blogs, but how have I even done this. How is calling something funny "trolling"? I don't get how saying "nobody cares" is also trolling, it is just my honest opinion. Marc2427 (talk) 11:41, December 25, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Jay ten, I uploaded this story which you deleted because of its wall of text, but I fixed it and tried to upload it again and it said this. This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Illegal Chars

So im really not sure what im doing wrong first time making a pasta, so im not to sure on how it's made. Heres the redit, is that fine or is there someway i can get some help uploading my story it would be greatly appreciated  Im not sure how the source should look and everything, so if its wrong im sorry about that.

Why dont you accept unfinished storys? what about the 1999 story? that wasnt finished but yet is one of the best storys ive read in here. Now youre not going to accept these storys anymore...why? not only will Elliot not be able finish his story because of this rule. neither will i.

Inquiry Concerning Unfinished Story
Good afternoon,

You recently deleted an unfinished story I mistakenly posted to the Wiki (I was unaware of the rule against posting unfinished pastas) and suggested I submit it to the Writers' Workshop before reposting. Will I be required to post it to the WW first or is this just a reccommendation. Thanks,

-EthanSaldanha
