Freestyle Finals
Hey! I know you're probably really super-dooper busy, but I was just wondering why my story hasn't been judged yet? Who was in charge of group E, and are they having trouble finding it or something? It's called Rora, and its been up for about 24 hours or longer now. If you can get back to me with who the judge is or whats going on I'd really appreciate it! Thanks,

Hey, old timer
I know you are a horror movie fan and I'm dying to know whether you like King or Kubrick's Shining better, so let me know on the blog I just posted HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 22:19, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

Wow
Well, I think it's just about over. I've added the winners to the blog you made about them & added the staff blogs category. Again, thanks for setting this whole thing up, I've really enjoyed helping out with it. If you want anything on the blog changed, just let me know :) 22:45, February 24, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, buddy
That was a blast yesterday! Has a blog ever got that many hits that fast? So much fun. Anyway, is there a time frame for the next round of the freestyle challenge? I'm going to be a bit busy here and won't have much time to check the blogs (the old ball and chain is way angry at how much time I have spent on the computer with you awesome weirdos). Can you message me on my talk page when a date is approaching? Thanks so much. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 02:31, February 25, 2015 (UTC)

Pasta Noir
Dear Blacknumber1,

First, I would like to congratulate you on your recent tournament. It got me writing again. I always wanted to write creepypasta, but never got around to it. So for that, thank you.

When the tournament started, I was curious to know who you were, so I flipped through your pasta. I decided on your recent Pasta Noir: Dames, Slugs and the Hatchetman . It was getting some serious praise and I was interested in it. So I got a friend of mine, who is also a horror fanatic, to read it to. It took us several days to get through it, and by the end we both came to the same conclusion. This story is, without a doubt, the absolute worst creepypasta we have ever read.

I understand this a very negative opinion about a project you no doubt put a lot of effort into. However, we are not just saying this to bash it. We love Creepypasta a lot and take great pains to find good ones. We have (many) creative criticisms that we'd like to share with you, more than can be put here. Since you said you good at getting criticisim, I thought you'd like to hear it. Regardless of your answer, thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

PUMPED4FRUIT&DAIRY

P.S. No I am not upset that I lost the tournament. PUMPED4FRUIT&#38;DAIRY (talk) 07:55, February 25, 2015 (UTC)

Interviews
So I've recently been chatting with Mystreve about the upcoming Writer's Lounge interview. We currently have our next interviewee, but we need someone to give the interview who is personable. As luck would have it, your name came up as a possible candidate for giving Mikemacdee the next interview in March for the end of the month. You've been doing great work for the site and the freestyle project went off without a hitch. You don't have to decide right this instant, feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns. I think you'd do a bang-up job. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:45, February 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a great opportunity, Black. I know you'd nail it too.

New Tobit story ready for review
Hey Black,

Just finished up the next installment of the Tobit series. Please check it out and leave me some feedback!

Tobit: Blood and Obligations

 * Thanks for being candid, sorry this is such short notice. We'll keep looking. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 23:08, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Pasta Noir: Review
Finally got finished writing my review for your story. It's a bit long, but I had a lot to say

Here's a link.

PUMPED4FRUIT&#38;DAIRY (talk) 11:42, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Review
Haters gonna hate. Where's their novela? HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 17:36, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Trolls gonna troll
Well, since he is 21 and has been studying horror for 20 years he probably feels the need to be recognized as a master literary critic. I couldn't read at 1, and if I could I doubt my mother would have let me read horror at that tender age. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 17:58, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks so much for suggesting me to Emry for the interview!

Response to My Review
Well, first I should thank you for being so kind in your response. I guess I really didn't deserve that. My friend does exist and that is usually an opinion he'd give (his name is Nick). However, that doesn't excuse my putting it there. It may have been his words, but it was me who wrote it. For that I will apologize. Thank you for being most mature one of us all.

I will not apologize for my review.

One last LAST thing I will say:

This was not meant to be a troll. The thing about trolls is that they rarely mean what they say. The reason I wanted to give you a review is because you seemed like you would benefit from getting some advice. Tearing apart a story is part of editing and even if you fix everything to please one person, there will be always be someone else to bash it.

When it comes to writing personal stories it can be tough to get criticism. It's as if the person who is writing the review is attacking your life. I wasn't really aware that it was such a personal thing to you.

I wasn't attacking your life or hardships. I was attacking your story as a story. Characters, plot progression, description. Doing these things right is what makes a story, no matter how personal it is, interesting to read. That what I reviewed and I'm standing by that.

Again, sorry for the insult and thanks for taking the time to read my self-indulgent rant. I wish you luck on your future endeavors.

-PUMPED4FRUIT&DAIRY

P.S. For everyone else, yes I have been into horror for 20 years. Damn it Jim! I'm a writer, not a mathematician! ;)

PUMPED4FRUIT&#38;DAIRY (talk) 20:49, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Small Favor
Hey man, I wouldn't ask someone this unless I felt like I was friends at least online which I think we are. I was wondering if you can do me an insignificant favor that wouldn't take much of your time, whenever you have time. Thanks. Alstinson (talk) 03:03, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

It's not money related, something small that would take a small amount of time. Alstinson (talk) 03:21, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Everythings fine, I just wondered if you can do my favor based on my critiques, sorry for alarm. In your spare time I wondered if you could advertise my Critique Blog in a blogpost. Recommend it, share the link. If it wouldn't be a big deal. Alstinson (talk) 03:51, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Alstinson (talk) 05:43, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Might I Riff Pasta Noir?
I recently read a rather scathing review of a story you wrote, “Pasta Noir". Upon reading it, and the verdict the reviewer decided on (worst Creepypasta he ever read. He obviously hasn't done what I do), I wondered why it is he decided that, and read your story. Now, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but I've been doing a thing called Creepypasta Riffs, where I find a bad Creepypasta (though I have used some good ones) and make jokes and review them. Think MST3K, but with one guy, in writing, and with a review at the end. Anyway, upon reading that review, I went and read your story. It's not as bad as that reviewer said; actually, it's pretty good. However, I did see a lot of opportunities for jokes, and would like to make my opinion of the story known through a Riff. I usually don't ask permission, but I'm doing it now because you seem very proud of that story, and I don't want to be a huge dick and make jokes about it without your permission. Before you come to a conclusion, I recommend that you read some of my Riffs, so you know what you're getting into. And if you say yes, the Riff will probably be done in a few parts (1 Riff per chapter), a first for the Riffs. If you say no, I completely understand, and won't Riff it. Please let me know if you're ok with your story being Riffed, and thank you for reading this rather long request.

The Riff
Thank you for letting me Riff your story. I appreciate the fact that you're alright with me making jokes about something you're proud of (there are quite a few people who would be pissed if I did that) and that you're honored that I want to Riff it (I never thought anyone would feel that way about a guy like me making bad jokes about a story, so that makes me a bit happy). And I definitely won't be a dick like that other guy. I'll admit it, he did make some good points, but ending it the way he did was just low. I've read some of the worst pieces of writing known to the Creepypasta community, and even I haven't stooped that low, nor do I plan to. I'll let you know when I finish the Riff of the first part. Hell, if you give me your email, I'll send it you before I post it, and see what you think. And I'll be sure to write that I have your permission. I don't want to anger fans of the story. Once again, thank you for letting me Riff your story, and being rather chill about it. I'll be sure to let you know when part is done.

I sent you part 3 of the Riff. Let me know what you think, and enjoy.

In Torment
Finished one of the stories I've been working on in the recent few months. If you'd like to take a look, it's in the Writer's Showcase for the day. It's in a stage that still allows me to change it a bit before releasing it to the main site, but I thought it was time to put it up. http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:436249 ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 18:52, March 6, 2015 (UTC)

New Riff Schedule
I'm going to be Riffing "Pasta Noir" on the weekends now, ok? When it's a weekend thing, I have more time to put into it.

The Goddamn Dorkpool (talk) 16:27, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Announcemen About The Riffs
As you might have noticed, I haven’t Riffed “Pasta Noir” in a while. I should probably explain why. You see, there are many stories that I start Riffing, and don’t finish because I really don’t feel like going anywhere with them, or can’t think of many jokes. Unfortunately, your story became one of those. It has nothing to do with its quality, mind you. I just stopped feeling like I was able to Riff it. So, for now, I’m not going to continue Riffing “Pasta Noir.” I might end up changing my mind at a later date, but for now, I’m not Riffing it. I’m really sorry about that, since I asked you if I could and then quit, and also that I brought it to you so late.

The Goddamn Dorkpool (talk) 00:54, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

How Goes It?
Hey man, I was just checking in to see how you've been and ask if you have any alternate routes of communication, like say Skype or email? Just let me know, and if you don't want to give yours out on here I can give you mine. Also, Humboldt's interview is up too if you haven't seen it and wanna' check it out - he did a great job. Anyway, hope all is well. Have a good one.

Jay Ten (talk) 13:50, March 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Congrats on getting your novella on the front page as the Spotlighted Pasta. That's why I was wanting your skype/email, so I could give you a heads up (just wanted to make sure you didn't think I was being weird asking for that info out of nowhere, lol).  Well anyway, congrats again on your story getting some much deserved attention.  Hope all is well.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 03:09, April 1, 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations: A Winner is You!
Congrats on getting spotlighted, your story is now on the main page. (I even put it up there myself rather than wait for someone competent to do it and deprive your story another minute of the recognition it deserves, let's hope it works out.) You deserve it after all the hard work you put into it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 03:30, April 1, 2015 (UTC)
 * BTW, I locked the page while it is on the front page due to the tendency for troublemakers to vandalize it. Since I know you are adding in updates as they come, just let me (or Underscorre) know when you have an addition you want to make and we can unlock it for you. I'll try my best to unlock it once the month's over so as not to inconvenience you. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 11:56, April 2, 2015 (UTC)

New Tobit Story
Hey brother,

I got a new story up in the Tobit series, Tobit: From Love Comes Damnation. You know what to do.

Hey,

Newest Tobit story is up and posted, Tobit: The Grim Sorority of Tabitha Shaw. You know what to do!

Thanks bro,

May the fourth be with you
I was leaving a message on Tyber's talk page noting that today was Star Wars day, and I thought of something that made me think of you and your 30+ blog. There used to be a radio station called Lite 99.9 in Dayton, Ohio, and at one point they had Super 70s weekends. I may be misquoting it a little, but one promo asked, "Remember when Star Wars meant Luke and Leia, not Sith and Jar-Jar?" It then played the space cantina music in the background for the rest of the promo. Raidra (talk) 16:06, May 4, 2015 (UTC)

Want to read something fucked up?

New Tobit story
Hey Black,

Just finished my latest Tobit chapter, Tobit: Theory of Two. If you get the time, please check it out and leave me some feedback!

Banningk1979 (talk) 23:12, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

Checking In
Just saw your message on the interview page. Sorry to hear life's still throwing punches, but I know you're stubborn/tough as a one-eared mule, so I'm sure you can handle it. That being said, I hope it's nothing too serious. Good luck with everything my friend, and please continue to check in with us until you can get back more steadily.

Jay Ten (talk) 02:13, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Hi there!
Hey, it's great to hear from you! I know what you mean about things coming up. To tell you the truth lately I haven't been on here as much either. As for the sequel, it's a hard call. Both options you mentioned for a sequel would be interesting. If Chris were to come back then I could imagine a supernatural angle. On the other hand, it can be hard to do sequels, especially when things were resolved by the end of the first story. I'm sure you could do it, but it might still be hard. I'd say the best option would be to make Chloe a detective, but that's just me. I'm glad you liked the message! Raidra (talk) 01:38, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

It's Finally Out
Hey, Blacknumber1. I just wanted to say that my story, In Torment In Hell, is (finally) finished. I wanted to know if you could take a look at it? Feel free to say no, it is pretty large. Thanks for reading. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 16:25, June 14, 2015 (UTC)

Hey now, good buddy
That was a blast last night. It is always so fun when you are around. Hey, are you on skype? I'm trying to work out a character based on you, or your mythos--lol--for Banning's demon contest and I want to talk to you about it. Catch you later, HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 01:59, June 15, 2015 (UTC)
