It's quite alright. I set my expectations through the floor so as to not be disappointed with the outcome. Thanks! The S (talk) 23:29, July 2, 2015 (UTC)

Writer's Showcase & Writer's Workshop
I made a couple template pages on my sandbox wiki. I'm sending this message to all the active admins to see how it is received. It is a slight alteration to the nav-bottom template, which I have named with the Special:RandomInCategory feature. Check it out here. The link is at the bottom of the message. Click either "Writer's Workshop" or "Writer's Showcase", which will take you to one of three test pages I've set up for each side of the template.

This template could be added to the front page if that's what the plan is, or the recent activities page if that is the plan, or both, even.

If implemented, it would also include the user adding either one of the categories to the post they wish to be included in this feature. Stories could be filtered out of either category after a week or two, keeping the categories small, which would raise the chance of each post getting hits. Whatever length of time would work best for each post to stay in the either category, I could take this on myself (or jointly with other users), removing the categories from the posts that have already been featured for a while.

Just to be clear, the categories "Writer's Showcase" and "Writer's Workshop" would need to added (or if other names for the categories are more fitting, I could easily change the template to reflect that). And, lastly, the categories would only be added directly to the posts on the Writer's Showcase or Writer's Workshop, and not the pages themselves (this will keep the feature limited to original stories, and promote activity on these boards.)

Check it out, let me know what you think. Any suggestions/additions to the feature would be appreciated.

 * Update on this, by the way, since the original version wasn't actually working, I've remade this with Javascript (it's still at the link above). The use of Javascript means that no new categories would need to be created. 14:14, July 4, 2015 (UTC)

Template Madness
Noticing you've marked a couple of stories for review and I thought I might give out a template that's a little more simple than coding one. it is: and you simply need to put it at the top of the page and it adds the M4R category automatically. It's like a variation of the delete template. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 18:15, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Broken redirect
Would you delete this? http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Peer_into_The_Unknown

 Inside there is thunder in your heart   01:14, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * The page is not that old, so leaving redirects behind is not important. And the redirect points to a deleted page since I moved it, and it probably should be deleted. According to CMoS, "into" should be lowercase in titling because it is a preposition. According to AP style, anything under four letters is not capitalized, and according to another style (I think it's used by some publishers) anything under five letters is not capitalized. I've been using CMoS, as I've seen other prominent users capitalize "Is" in titles such as LOLSKELETONS and ClericOfMadness. As "is" is a verb, it would be capitalized under CMoS, and no other style. There's pages capitalized under other styles though, so revert my page move if you wish.

Posted OC but I don't know what to do??
Hey there, I posted a story a while back, entitled Cloak. I didn't really (and still don't) know how to use the site and I kind of forgot about it, but I just looked into my talk page and saw something you posted there like forever ago that said I should have tagged it OC and moved it to the submissions page. I had no idea that I was supposed to do that and now I am worried that it is too late. Please help.

Deletion Appeal
I'm afraid we posted at the same time again and this time have differing opinions. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with some aspects of your appeal as the broken English in conjunction with an outside perspective (third person) really seemed forced, the lack of explanation as to which facet of Primal is talking and how to identify them, the capitalization and wording/redundancy issues also were a deal-breaker for me. As it stands, I think one of us should remove their response and I really feel like the story isn't up to quality standards and needs extensive revision. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 03:40, July 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks, also just a side note, but we've been asking users to contact an admin or take it to the writer's workshop before submitting a revised story (even if re-written from the ground up) as some users have spammed the appeal with their stories after making minor changes. It's not a big issue, but it saves authors the trouble of submitting another story that gets deleted and it saves admins the hassle of being attacked over it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 13:15, July 14, 2015 (UTC)

Category That Didn't Exist
Sorry about adding a category that apparently didn't exist. When I was marking down categories, the ones that I had both showed up as listed categories. Then again, maybe I was just being an idiot xD

Sorry about that.

"Derpy Hooves Dark Day"
Hey Reading, just to let you know that the story you deleted earlier (Derpy Hooves dark day) was actually a reupload of a story I deleted yesterday morning, for being blacklisted. I've not done anything to change the messages on the uploader's talk page, since I don't want to get in your way, but you might want to change your messages about the deletion to Template:Reup :)

Hoping you're well,

06:17, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I wondered why was my story deleted, then i saw the word "cliché"

I would be glad if you could mention these clichés, and then give me a chance to correct them, thanks

Hey!
Hi there! My name is Hailey Sawyer and I'm currently writing a creepypasta. If you're up for reading and reviewing it, I'll send you a pastebin link to the latest version of it. I'll give you a bit of info on the pasta. It has been said that the "Lost Episode" genre is highly cliched and it seems like there's very little you can do with it now. However, with this pasta, I plan to breath new life into the genre by either avoiding or subverting cliches. Instead of making the episode that the protagonist watches bloody or gory or anything like that, it will instead be more of a psychological horror approach like the rest of the pasta.

Sure. Here you go: http://pastebin.com/A4Z1aEsE I'm currently writing a chapter outline for the rest of chapter 7 and onwards to help me understand where the story is going to go. Please message me as soon as you're done reading the story. By the way, I've had several other people peer review the story but hey! Like they say, the more, the merrier!

Hey,

Don't know what your name is or what to shorten your username so I decided not address you by name. Anyway, I was wondering if you would be willing to review one of my stories, Spirit Bottles.

If you can I would be very grateful.

Where's The Review?
Did you hear that Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is out now? Because I did and I played it. It was so scary that I died. That's right I'm a ghost. (Makes ghost noises) But in all seriousness though, you said that review of my story would be up yesterday but I never received it. I'm not angry though, just a bit confused as to what happened to that.

Reply to "Review" message
I'm sorry to hear about your misfortunes. Here, you deserve this: (hug). As for the review, I'm glad I'm off to a good start and reguarding the cresent horns part, one of the ideas for this pasta was that the more the character watched the episode, the more the shadow figure would turn into a samurai. For you see, one of the twists of the story was that the episode that the character was watching turns out to be all in her head and basically had a mental illness. I'll try to flesh out the idea more and see if I still want to go through with it but it's a possibility. I went over all the descriptions with Koromo and she said that they weren't too long or overblown but I guess me and Koro both missed one. Whoops! I'll take a look at the TV description and try to figure out if I want to shorten it or make one of the character traits that the protagonist has (i.e She has a thing for detail). I enjoyed your review and all that it had to say. I hope this pasta can help the Lost Episode genre regain some hope when finished.

Reply to "Rabbits" messages
You're welcome. Whenever I get sad, angry, or scared, one of the things I do is look at cute animals, especially rabbits. As we all know, you can't go wrong with rabbits, right? I'm writing up a chapter outline for chapter 7 and I'm stuck on what should happen when Kristy gets up to her room. Any suggestions? If so, I'll be here waiting. By the way, if you haven't seen the chapter outline, I'll send it to you as soon as I can via pastebin.

I guess you're right. I gotta find my own ideas starting... now! *Sits there for several hours while nothing gets typed* D'oh! Looks like I gotta get some inspriation by wating other R.L Stine episodes where the family moves to a new place, like Spaceman for example. Have you seen that episode? It's one of two Haunting Hour episodes with an alternate ending. The other one being Scarecrow.

Reply to "I didn't know" message
Yeah it came out in 2010 and ended in 2014. The series is (loosly) based on some of R.L Stine's short stories from what I understand. The following episodes that involve moving to a new place that I can recall are: Walls, The Hole, My Imaginary Friend, etc.

Hello, Nick.

I was wondering if you are alerted when something you've written has been edited. I was browsing on the page that lists deleted pastas, and I read many of your comments. The critique of "Poisoned Lily" seems to be heavily edited, however; there were many errors that you, yourself, had pointed out to others. I'm wondering if someone with a bit of a grudge edited it, and if that's the case I thought you should know.
