If you are inquiring about a longer story that I deleted, perhaps this guide will elaborate on the issues a bit.

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.

Andrew
So why was "Andrew" deleted? It seemed like a perfectly good story. Yeah, it probably wasn't the best out there, but I'm confused as to why it was deleted. Supersatan25 (talk) 04:34, January 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, after somehow accidentaly deleting your message and replacing it with mine on my own page, I wrote this:

Alright, well I get the capitalization errors and the misplaced quotations but as far as the sentences, it was supposed to be spoken from the point of view of Andrew at those points. He's young mentally so he doesn't speak all that well, that's why it had the short sentances. Well, I take that back. He's writing, not speaking, but it still is supposed to show at least his mental age.

Thank you though

I would like to know why you deleted my pasta. I can understand if it is cliched as i have only seen the cliche list once. But if this is not the reason, I'd like to know.

Formatting issues
Can you give me a hand? Every time I go to edit Daddy's Little Princess it does this maddeningly irritating thing where it removes all the line breaks. I can see that it's going to do it because there's no spaces between paragraphs in source, then, when I hit preview, sure as shit, it's just one big block of words. I've had this happen before and just came back later and the was no issue, but I've been trying for hours now and it's pissing me off to no end! Ack! Any suggestions, bro?

Hi,

You deleted my piece "The Sand Dune Incident" - I'd be grateful for a little more explanation on why you didn't like it. It had been up for several years and never got any negative criticism. I'd hate to be misusing the site in some way without even realising it.

Hello, I am confused as too why you deleted my story "The Virus". My best guess is that it was technically about a haunted computer file. It was not.

Howdy
You seem to be the most recently active admin, so I'll report my minor grammar pickiness of the site policies to you for the moment. The policy page (site rules hub): "Welcome! To the Site Rules Hub (insert username here somehow)!"

I know there's a line break, but "to" doesn't need capitalized, "Welcome" doesn't need an exclamation point, and there should be a comma after "hub." Not an emergency, but figured I'd let someone know since the policy pages (I'd imagine for obvious reasons) are locked from editing. Bandit King Jack (talk) 00:08, January 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I am Randy McMillian and I would like to apologize for reuploading my story "Struggle" on January 14, 2016. My internet connection is not very good at the moment, so I thought the the story had simply not been posted due to a connection problem. I hope that this incident has not negatively impacted the admins' impression of me.

Also, I am currently working on a reworked version of my story and will apply for an appeal when it finished.

I just wanted to say thanks for reverting the edits made to my story, "The Melon Head Illustration". I think Eureka2000 meant well, but what Insane Genius did was completely nonsensical and uncalled for. I think the admins should keep an eye on Insane Genius and LMTyo13. Why LMTyo13? If you look at I.G.'s talk page, there's a message from LMT saying, "Hello! Thks for your edit- makes the pasta more understandable in my opinon". Yeah. /:-\ Raidra (talk) 13:48, January 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * It was LMTyo13 who left the note of praise on Insane Genius's talk page; Eureka2000 was the one who added the "Places" category to my story. I can understand why he or she added that category, but yeah, it's not a great fit.  I found that LMTyo13's talk page has a note from SoPretentious warning about needlessly changing wording in pastas, which makes me wonder.  In any case, I appreciate you and the other admins- the first line of defense against really bad edits! :-) Raidra (talk) 00:06, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

The reason I did not notice your post was because it was inside a previous message leavers heading. I assumed that each time a new post is adderd a new heading would appear.

I did not realize that you have to put a heading in manually and that it is not done automatically. Next time I look in the previous headings. Also I was wondering what does this mean.

DMCA
You may have seen the recent deletion by Brandon Rhea of a file due to a DMCA request.

The file in question was uploaded by Jabronis and was used in the Creepy Images/Page 8 gallery. The file in question that was removed can be found at the copyright holder's Flickr.

 * The email has already been sent so there is really nothing left to do but wait. Perhaps they'll allow the use of the file provided that the photographer is actually attributed as opposed to a blank file page.


 * Who knows though, a 50/50 chance at least.


 * P.S. If you leave a reply to a message could you please use the header Re: DMCA instead of just Re:. I ask this so that when I scroll through the ToC I can get a sense of what a thread is about.

Do you at all have an issue with me asking that you use more detailed headers when replying to messages using my talk page?

If so then I would like to apologize for demanding rather than asking at first even though I did not intend to demand that you do anything. If you would rather just leave a generic "Re:" for whatever reason then that's fine and I'll flesh it out on my own time.

On another note, can you intervene on my talk page as at this point I feel that the discussion is going nowhere and is just going to dissolve into more bickering and arguing from both sides.

 * I did not mean for you to add a new header per reply but one per thread. Instead of just leaving "Re:" you'd leave "Re: DMCA" and all replies to "DMCA" thread on your talk page would be put under the "Re: DMCA" header on my talk page. This way if someone is tracing the replies you left to the DMCA header on my talk page it would become very apparent as to where they are.

It pains my heart to see that the wiki . ..
. . . has lost a great work of art and one of the most disturbing and profound love stories ever written. Oh, well, nothing lasts forever. : (

On a lighter note: congratulations on completing your novella manuscript! Knowing your quality standards it must be quite polished. Are you still in the qurery stage or have you found representation? If you would like to do a beta reading trade of query letters I'd gladly take a look at yours. I've been revising my query forever. I've workshopped it twice and am still not happy with it. My manuscript is still not completely polished (after two years of work), but I am rewriting and revising as we speak and hope to have it done within the month. I've got an agent who wants to give it a read as well as the independent bizarro publishing house Broken River Books. I'm also going to take it to the San Francisco Writer's Conference in February and shop the hell out of it. Honestly, I just want it finished so I can put it behind me and move on to a different project.

Best of luck, brother. I am very excited for you. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 17:19, January 25, 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, I think the brick with a synopsis wrapped around it is the most imagainative and perhaps the most effective form of querying I've ever heard. You always dazzle me with your keen insights. I was also thinking of coating the letter with some sort of mind altering drug. Hey, man, just to give you a heads up,  I'm taking a class on writing violence with splatter punk pioneer John Skip. He's a best selling horror author. I went and took the initiative to ask him if he'd let me interview him for the Writer's Lounge. Sound good?

Sorry to get in the conversation!
Hey, I see you have contacted publishers. Is it a book what you're trying to publish? If so, then I recommend you go for an agent instead of directly to the publishers. An agent can already get in with the publishers, while the writers have a bit of difficulty on that.

It's worth a try! Of course, be wary of anyone who asks for upfront payments. Agents tend to get their pay according to the money you earn, as far as I know.

So yep! --&#34;You know why he&#39;s here? Why he&#39;s investigating the broken rules? He&#39;s not paid or anything. He likes it. He gets off on it&#34; (talk) 19:42, January 25, 2016 (UTC)

Um, I remind you again to be suspicious of any agent who asks for payment as soon as when you meet them. Getting your file read should cost nothing at all, but of course for that to happen you need to give a good speech to convince the agent to give your work a try. --&#34;You know why he&#39;s here? Why he&#39;s investigating the broken rules? He&#39;s not paid or anything. He likes it. He gets off on it&#34; (talk) 21:37, January 25, 2016 (UTC)

^^ Just to reiterate what Nick is saying, you don't pay an agent, they just get a percentage of your profits and querying them is free. If you can land one, not only will they broker deals with book publishers, they will also work to sell your short stories and articles. I've taken several classes on query letters with actual literary agents, so if you want any advice or for me to give your query a beta reading, just let me know. You can always email me at humboldtlycanthrope at gmail dot com.

I couldn't help notice you tried to self-publish with Amazon and it didn't work out. How did they know you had your novela on the wiki? Did you tell them? So weird that Leo was for sale on Amazon and up for PotM at the same time. Do you think they knew about that? What was the process like? (sorry, I've got lots of questions about self-publishing, it may be something I finally resort to, the market is so competitive) Thanks. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 00:17, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

John Skip Interview
He said yes to the interview. The class ends in two days and for once in my life my big mouth is at a loss for words. Got any suggestions for questions I should ask him? HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 00:57, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, good ideas. I was going to approach it from the angle that the site is full of aspiring horror writers, and since he teaches now to try and get his advice. At the risk of tooting my own horn, for what it's worth, this is what he said about the story I wrote: "this one's OVER THE FENCE, AND OUTTA THE PARK! You can pull up a hammock and enjoy the frosty cold beverage of your choice. That was a fucking home run, man," which really made my day. :) HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 01:20, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Category Question
Hello, Empyre!

In the rules it states that Demon/Devil, Monster, Ghost, etc. are mutually exclusive. However, I posted a story in which there was a Minotaur and the Devil (both are prominent through out), so would I be able to use the monster category as well or should I just stick with the Demon/Devil category? I am assuming that the rule meant that a single creature can only have one of those categories defining it, but I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Antonio's Affair
This isn't so much a deletion appeal as I get that it didn't meet quality standards. I'm just completely fried trying to figure out what specific quality standard(s) I didn't meet so I can continue the Dorm 14-A series without this continuing to be a problem. I know that I tried once with another pasta that was a bit cliche as a fourth wall breaker so I won't be doing that again, but after a year of racking my brain for a way to continue the story, Antonio's Affair was what I came up with. Do you suggest sticking with that route and trying to meet whatever quality standards I missed or changing the direction? Nyxson (talk) 10:14, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

Um, hey.

As you know (or might not, since you're an admin and probably is very busy lol) you put my pasta The Ghost With Red Pupils marked for review. With the reason of 'A large number of coding (view in editor mode for examples), punctuation, capitalization, wording, and story issues.' Anyway, there's a slight problem that English happens to be my second language. Sooo I kind of have some trouble spotting and correcting some grammar mistakes :/

Mikemacdee suggested I left this message asking for you to remove the 'marked for review' tag so readers can help me fix the mistakes (http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:523105#4) since as I said, I might be unable to do so.

About the story issues, he gave me a few suggestions that I will use when editing. I'm a bit busy today though, but I guarantee an edit by tomorrow night (about 24 hours from the time I finish this message).

Could you do that for me, please?

Thanks a lot!

RE: story
have you ever read the murder of roger ackroyd. how was that story published. this is a question of style. so i suggest you handing it over to a another admin before making decisions.

Hello

I'm wondering if theres anyone i can use to check a sory i wrote and becasue your an admin i though you might know everyone who uses this website. If not i can just get some friends to check it for me.

Thanks

RE: just read
Look buddy, any punctuation errors in the story is because of your site. i frankly do not have the time to sit and edit once more on your editor and check whether any punctuations have dissapeared or not. i know this because my dad is an experienced writer and has won many competitions. infact he owns a creative arts company and is the head writer. so as a request i ask you to check your site cause my dad does not miss punctuations.

Writer Workshop Mandatory
I think you should make the writer's workshop mandatroy and then give admin approval for when someone can contribute a story. I think this would cut a lot of clutter and make more sense. It would also make it more clear on when a pasta is safe to submit or not. I think they all need to go through the "filtering" process until it's a pure piece of literature. I like the policies and the quality standards, I feel it helps people become better writers.

It would be cool if all pastas were to go to the workshop first and then when an admin gives an approval, you can post it. That would be cool. I like that idea.

Thats unfortunate that you can't force it. Really, it does seem mandatory. I also know from reading on another page that if you attempt to post the same pasta again, if puts you on grounds for a ban. What if it's edited? It says that you need admin approval. It kind of feels, though, that this site had a rough mechanic like other creepypasta sites do, where it's supposed to show you the rules of the site at sign in and then when you create a pasta, it automatically gets sent to reviews first - And will be posted later if the reviews on it go well.

Only on this site, it seems instead of coding the site to do what the rules need, (since it's a wikia) you've instead instated rules for users to follow and do this instead. (And I actually like this, it's a more social approach and I think it's more constructive.)

♥ 19:01, January 29, 2016 (UTC)Rhettski-spooker

Well... I appreciate what you guys do, because I do see what others do. Like the guy that commented that i'm wierd, for example. And I've watched how people act on other sites. They genuinely don't care about quality, and they cause a lot of trouble. I've downloaded the wikia app and I know what other wikia apps and sites i've visited have a really professional quality, like when I was playing Skyrim and I needed some playthrough advice when i'd call uncle and give in to a few things. It didn't look tacky. ''At all. ''And that's pretty cool. So... Whenever I post, my own personal rule of thumb, I'm putting it in the workshop first. The creepypasta.org site that I found does that- It has to be reviewed first before it's even posted. I have no idea what they do after that, but thet would be a lot of work for people doing site maintenence.

My signature is all goofed up. i don't know why it doesn't look normal anymore. Sorry for that.

♥ 19:17, January 29, 2016 (UTC)Rhettski-spooker

There we go, I fixed it. It was because I had a heart stamp ♥ as a default signature in my own defaut preferences. It was throwing the code off. I could probably do the four tildes as a default instead, maybe.

I'll try to put more effort into the writers workshop. As a guy having an art background, I leanred that it's really good to pay attention to everyone's work. And also, I am able to take critiques and such very well. Art and design can be really redundant. You draw and draw and draw and draw until the clinet is satisfied with something you put out. It can get maddening. The site http://chrisoatley.com/ is one that I joined for his magic box program and he has a similar forum that's full of critique and help and such. I'm familiar with the environment and such.

Rhettski-spooker (talk) 19:52, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

I don't see an issue with a story being a big wall of text filled with grammatical errors when it's written that way to give the story more realism. My story is supposed to be written from the point of view of a disgruntled man who is venting his frustration and asking for help on a Yahoo Answers page, so I don't see why he would take the time to make sure that every single bit of text in his inquiry would be grammatically correct. I'm going to re-upload my pasta because I feel like it's written just well enough to be easily read and understood, so there should not be an issue. If you could not delete my stories in the future, that would be much appreciated.

They Can See You deletion


Good day, my fine sir (or madam). I have noticed that you have deleted my creepypasta called They Can See You and was wondering what were the issues in the pasta that have led to such a decision and how can I fix them. Any input would be more than useful. Thank you in advance for the response.

Sincerely Jonathan DeLacuso (talk) 11:07, January 30, 2016 (UTC)Jonathan DeLacuso

Thank you for the response
I thank you so much for your detailed analysis. Some of the issues happened because I was rushing a bit through a story (an issue I seem to have far too often), so I will attempt to retouch the ones you pointed out and repos. on a sidenote, do you, by chance, know where I can find the original pasta and redo it?

Sincerely Jonathan DeLacuso (talk) 19:52, January 30, 2016 (UTC)Jonathan DeLacuso

Once again, I am very thankful for your quick response. I have seen the mistakes and have fixed the spelling errors (for now), but I still have a way to go before I can get it out there. Once again, thank you for the help. This deletion seems to be the best that could happen for this story and I couldn't be more grateful for it.

P.S. Is there a way I can submit this story (like in a GDoc file or something akin to it) without posting it directly to the wiki?

Sincerely , Jonathan DeLacuso (talk) 23:05, January 30, 2016 (UTC)Jonathan DeLacuso

Alright, I'll fix it up and send to the Deletion Appeal for approval. You have been most helpful and I am sorry if I had bothered you too much with these constant question.

Sorry about the categories violation. That wasn't intentional. I'll take a look at the rules. I'll fix it asap.

Ok thank you, that makes perfect sense. I was focusing more on the "woman" so thats why I put "Beings". But I see the rules about those categories be exclusive. Thanks for fix.
