Query about a pasta
Hi Jack.

I read then reread your pasta ‘There‘s Something in the Way‘ which you wrote for the song competition.

Despite the comments from users who seem very clear about what‘s going on, I was slightly confused, though I think in this case, I‘m the only one missing something.

It‘s a good pasta, which I‘m interested in, so I‘d just like to ask, what happened at the end?

Did mister jensen kill the mother? Did he write the note? How does the fish thing link to the baseball?

Am I being an idiotic dick? (Don‘t answer that.)

Thanks, and don‘t get me wrong, you‘re a good writer.

I Am a Big Boy
Hi SoPretentious,

I rollbacked the edits you did on my story not because they were bad edits, but because I was going for a very, very specific tone/voice, and in some cases adding commas broke the flow up.

Also, was there a reason you changed the ? I don't see why it should be changed unless you know something (maybe the template will be deleted in the future?) that I'm missing.

By the way, in this sentence:

"Oh, our little honeybee is asleep," she says tucking him in, "Better not wake him up then."

There is no need to make 'Better' lowercase. The two dialogue pieces are separate sentences.

RE:
Fixed all of them, thanks. 12:50, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Again, all fixed, except number two, because while it's grammatically incorrect, it's still quite widely used, and the alternative sounds awkward. 13:54, May 28, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
Sorry. I normally check by googling words to be sure when they have Z's or U's. I didn't realize that the British spelling including C's and S's. I was familiar with the Z and S rule (like with realise), as well as the "o and u" rule (like with colour). I use Google Chrome and it's dictionary is wonky and only recognizes american based spelling. I'll try to be more careful in the future. Thanks for correcting my mistake and letting me know :) Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular!  21:50, May 28, 2015 (UTC)

Nav
Please only add the Nav templates to stories that are in a series. (We have all of EAP categorized to make it easier to find.) There is no need to link them alphabetically. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 22:44, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Then why link the Gold-bug to the Black Cat? Please notify admins BEFORE doing these things. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 22:52, May 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Those stories are only a collection, not a series. They shouldn't be linked.

RE:
the template's used when an image adds nothing to the page, but instead of removing the image, we hide it because it makes a good thumbnail for the pasta.

Re:
Oh, right. I understand now.

The men beating each other with baseball bats was what the mother was watching when she said 'they don't have feelings'.

I wasn't sure whether that linked to the note at the end.

Confusion (?)
Hey Pretentious, I just noticed that you ninja'd me in messaging LordMReaper about adding the Marked for Review category on his story Micheal. Originally I removed that category, as he added it for the wrong reasons. I haven't read the story, so I'm not sure if it should be M4R'ed or not. If you feel like it really needs to be reviewed, rollback my edits on the story.

Sorry for the messup. MrDupin (talk) 22:21, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

If you know anyone that you trust and you think would be willing to help out, tell me. Also, I need a few tips on how to actually make it so some of the links have drop down boxes (Ex on this site: Genere List, Fourms, User Rights) and how to get them for when you click on them to go to another part of the site.

New to Wiki
Hey SoPretntious,

Just a quick question about the edit you made, I saw that you removed coding and corrected some grammer. Thanks. But how did the coding get there in the first place. I am new to this site and want to get as much data about what is needed and wanted from people who seem to know what they are doing. From all the badges you have you seem like one of those people.

Thanks,

Leaving a Header
Thanks again. I need to get out of the habit of not proofreading my work. That is why it is taking me so long to get some of the things I have written sent out to publishers. I enjoy writing but not the editing aspect of it. You seem like someone who writes a lot, any recommendations on the best way to edit?

RE: Renaming
To give you the short answer, it doesn't matter if you press it or not, though if you want to be really safe, you should.

Basically, that function comes from MediaWiki's core software, since, by default, MediaWiki uses talk pages, not comments. At places like Wikipedia, there are talk pages (like user talk pages here) to discuss articles. And, just like our user talk pages, when they get too long, they are archived. Basically, selecting that option means the archives of the talk page are moved as well (as well as other subpages, i.e: deletion discussions). I don't think we really have any talk page archives, but we may do, so for older pages, select that option. For newer pages, leave it, there won't be any talk subpages.

TBH there are a ton of them (just go to Special:Allpages and look at the talk namespace). I wrote a bot script to get rid of them, but haven't bothered to get permission to run it yet, so they're all still there.

Re: License to Ill
CC-NY-BC is a different form of licensing (from what I recall from this conversation.) which means that those stories cannot be used for monetary purpose without the author's consent/compensation being made. (That means monetized narrations, publishing stories in a collection, etc.) whereas the other forces people who use to content to cite the original source to prevent copyright infringement.

Both licenses are accepted on the wiki. (Although CC-NY-BC is likely to cause problems if someone narrates it, references it, etc without the author's approval) Although from what I've seen, people interested in publishing tend to contact the original author and hash out a contract.

From what I recall, those Slimebeast stories were taken down by SB to put on his own website. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 04:00, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

I need to run a couple more tests with the bot on my sandbox wiki before I try to get permission for it here, but I'll attempt to get it running on here in the next couple of days.

Feedback
I didn't know if you got to see the feedback that I left on Jessie or not, as I went to bed soon after I left it. I just want you to know that despite seeing nothing but bad (non-clarifying) comments regarding it, I think it's a story concept worth exploring and that I hope you keep at it and refine it. I also want to point out that some people are likely to automatically hate it because of their views on religion. If you already saw my feedback on it, then you can ignore the following:

"I feel like the story would have benefit from being a bit longer. On the one hand, nothing is scarier than a PO'd God who razes the Earth, but on the other I didn't really feel much because I didn't get to read about any of the scares.

You have a single line about demons scouring the Earth and I feel that if you expanded on this that you could come up with something extremely horrifying. I also didn't get a chance to even remotely know Jessie, other than the fact that she is worthy. Jessie doesn't even speak.

I apologize if I am coming across as harsh, because I am not meaning to. I just think that you have a great concept that you could do a lot more with; so many dark places you could take this and so many more things you could describe.

In response to your response to Eletrocutioner: Depending on how biblical you want to get with this, I do see a way you could make a lone survivor who has to repopulate the Earth work. You could do the whole Adam's rib thing, except having it be the Eve (Jessie)."
