Creepypasta Wiki:Migration Policy

As of September 2019, this wiki no longer accepts stories uploaded by persons other than their original authors without express, provable permission from their original authors.

You can read this blog post for more information, but basically, if you want to post someone else's story to this wiki, you must both credit the original author AND obtain permission from the author before posting it.

Furthermore, you must summarily offer proof of said permission either in the article comments or on an admin's talk page, such as screencaps of a DM conversation or email. This must include evidence that you have explained that posting the author's work will release it under a CC-BY-SA license and that the author is okay with this.

In most cases, we will still attempt to contact the author in question for confirmation. If you are found to have been lying about obtaining permission to post the story, you will be subject to a ban.

EXCEPTION: For obvious reasons, you do not need permission to post old public domain horror stories, e.g. historic Gothic horror. However, this exception only covers stories that have entered the public domain by default of their age, not modern stories that have been "released into the public domain," since this tends to be difficult to prove.
