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

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.

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.

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.

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.

And don't think I'm only complaining about my deleted stories, in fact, I don't care: I'll post them elsewhere, other people will read them, it is the same for me.

I have read some stories that were deleted and I must say that some were creepeier than most of the admins' stories I have read.

You may have good skills in English, but you have no peticuliar tallent in writing, as everyone here. And you know why? Because talented writers make a living out of it. So stop geing condescendant by denying someone's envy to tell a story (s)he imagined just because you found an insignificant mistake/bad choice of word/...

I spoke with other members and with people on reddit (who were also members), many of them think that I have a point.

But I'm not here just to criticize, I'd like to give suggestions to make this site better.

This system (publishing, deletion, deletion appeal) doesn't work (you can see by yourself all the denied appeals on the page) and it means loads of good stories that won't be published.

What can you do instead? Well, first of all, the workshop should be easier to spot and helping members should be rewarded (it means less work for the admins). You can also give tools to auto correct the grammar. Then, a story won't be published immediately, it would go to a "pending zone" where admins, moderators,... will personally help the writer to correct everything. This will work way better than deleting a story, asking for a revised copy and denying the deletion appeal because the writer didn't spot this peticuliar virgule misplacement.

Now, this "I've already seen this premise somewhere": I have read excellent Stephen King's novels that reminded me some other autors. And here too, I have read stories that had something in common with another one. It is ineviatble and you will miss a lot of good stories if you systematically delete stories that have a common point with another one. For example, one of my stories about a scarecrow was deleted because there already was another story with a scarecrow. The stories were completely different, except that they both had a scarecrow involved.

So now, you should have a talk with the other admins, because you have 2 options:

- You change nothing and keep believing that you all are masters of horror on their throne, deleting peasants' stories

- You apply my advice, make changes in your policy and make this site great

Hello, thank you very much for the welcome. Unfortunately, am still trying to walk my way through navigation. (Using an android phone) at the moment and am having a little bit of a hard time. I'd like to ask if there is a way for me to view the site as if its on android view?

Hello, WhyAmIReadingThis, thank you for your message as a welcoming way to a new Creepypasta member. I, Albertus Meppler hope to make good stories through the time I spent on Creepypasta and hope that you'll help me whenever I have a question on whether or not I should categorize my articles. :)

(Albertus Meppler5353 (talk) 02:16, December 21, 2015 (UTC))

I really appreciate your help on categorization stories thank you. :) (Albertus Meppler5353 (talk) 04:13, December 21, 2015 (UTC))

"Doesn't meet quality standards" Is to vague. I need an in depth report in order to work on improving my work so that it does meet quality standards. If you are to delete it, that's fine. I am aware you have every right to do so. But, I would of liked a heads up saying "You need to improve this" and if it is deleted an in depth report on why. I want a whole god damn critique on why it was deleted so that I can not only improve my content, but yours. Sincerely, SpaceAgeQuice.

Hey, my story got marked for review. It says that there are multiple punctuation, capitalisation and story issues and that it needs a second opinion. I'm not sure as to what the problems might be so I'm thinking that maybe you can help me out. Here's the link to the story: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Illusion

It would be really grateful if you could help out. Thanks

Lack of Familiarity
Hi there! I'm kind of new here, but I learned quickly some stories were banned, such as spin-offs. However, I was wondering if it would be alright if I created one that uses a couple characters out of H.P. Lovecraft's mythology, with minor references to his other stories, but it is completely original content. I'm just not sure sure what the whole process of that is. Any advice you can give me would be great. Thanks!

Howdy
New here. Thanks for the message.

Anyway, I was reading the quality standards and this caught my eye:

"What do you mean by must make sense? Isn't this Creepypasta where stuff isn't supposed to "make sense"? I meant the story itself, not its elements. Dogscape is a wonderful story that makes no sense or anything else."

The part where it says "makes no sense or anything else" seems a little unnecessary. Forgive me if it's not my place, but the "or anything else" seems redundant. Just a minor issue, not an emergency; but I figured I should inquire about it. Bandit King Jack (talk) 10:49, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

While I'm at this, since I haven't gotten everything down yet, is there any way I can bring a bad story to an admin's attention? I'll probably catch it while I'm reading through the other policies, or I've already missed it somewhere, but it's probably easier to ask in case I miss something. Bandit King Jack (talk) 14:00, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Please disregard my previous message. I found it while I was reading the genre listing. Bandit King Jack (talk) 14:41, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Re: More the Merrier
Thanks for the advice, currently I'm just testing out the waters. About a year ago, I tried self-publishing via Amazon, but since my novella was already on the site and I didn't have much extra content to it, it was turned down. Which is kinda sad considering this and this. ("Bullies and liars beware; your doom is near. .... Naomi suspects Jeff, but decides that he's to (sic) sweet to do something like that; until a series of events changes her mind and her outlook on her own sanity") I've added a few new chapters not present here and am getting a feel for it. This time I'm trying electronic submissions and next time I may try to find an actual agent (also when I find money for said agent, being poor is terrible). EmpyrealInvective (talk) 19:57, January 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Welp I may give it a try later once I hear back from a few and have a general consensus on whether or not the novella needs work. Thanks for the advice. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:49, January 25, 2016 (UTC)

Noticed Something
I noticed something that I thought would be better suited for you to handle, since you warned the user before. This comment here is another story that someone posted as a comment to a story in the Writer's Workshop: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:521655#5 (I believe the user was confused about how to post a story on the Writer's Workshop). But, uh, just kind of saw that as a bit bad, since it potentially draws away from the other user's story and will hinder them from getting any feedback. Don't really know what the rules are in regards to that, but I figured it might be frowned upon. That aside, how are you doing, Nick? I've been meaning to stop by and pester you, but I just never got around to it. What's your avatar from? I've been seeing that around on a couple of sites lately. I've been doing alright :) Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  19:51, January 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's good! I remembered that there's a remove post button after messaging you, so in hindsight I could have just explained that to the user and how to use the Writer's Workshop, so sorry about that.


 * Glad to hear it. I'm not a fan of being an administrator myself (just not for me), so I'm glad things are going great for you :) Ah! I actually got Undertale as a Christmas gift on Steam, but I just haven't gotten around to playing it yet due to a decent sized backlog. I've been playing a lot of older titles, like 15-20 years old ones, because last years releases just weren't doing much for me. Everything is slowly becoming watered down and formulamatic (the the indie scene on Steam is helping prevent things from being a total bust. All just my opinion, of course). Undertale certainly has my interest in that it has something fairly unique to it and that being that you don't have to kill anyone or can kill everyone, super neat! One game that I'd recommend you keep an eye on is Stellaris. It isn't out yet, but it's a super interesting 4X Space game made by Paradox (Crusader Kings 2).


 * I'm not much for conversation either. I have social anxiety which makes it nearly impossible for me to talk to anyone in person or over the phone. I do pretty well on the internet though, so thank goodness for that! Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  23:03, January 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with things starting out slow. It's best not to rush the opening act and sometimes a slow burn is the best way to get things started (don't know how different it is though, so maybe it simply just isn't good at the start). Regardless, I'm sure I'll handle it just fine. I've suffered through a lot of bad games and have finished them over the years.


 * Well... It'll probably be the tradition $60 upon release. However, Paradox tends to have a lot of sales for their titles. I've seen Crusader Kings 2 on sale for $7.50 three times on Steam and I haven't had Steam for a full year yet (I'd recommend you pick it up on sale even though it takes about 8 hours just to fully grasp everything, at least for me. People have spent over 1,000 hours on that game and it is really common for people to spend over 200 hours on it. I got up to 74, but was having issues with my PC). So, maybe a few months after release you'll be able to get it for $20 or less? Here's the list of Developer Diaries for it on the official site: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/stellaris-developer-diary-archive.882950/ They add a new one every Monday. It's confirmed for a 2016 release and they talk like they are nearly done with the Beta, so release might be around May. Honestly, this is my most anticipated title. The game will be highly replayable because everything randomizes at the start (even the alien races are made up of mixed and matched parts that happen at random).


 * More time to think of responses are always great, right? I always babble like an idiot when I try to talk and succeed XD If you ever feel the urge to talk video games, I'm your person. I've played lots of them and if it's a AAA title from the last 8 years then odds are that I have it and have finished it (granted, I may not remember the mechanics or story all that well). Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  00:33, January 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm guilty of it too. At least in two instances, but I saw them as both being necessary as it set up a background element which would make the stories more impactful.


 * It'll be $40 at the least, which is what Crusader King 2 (their last game) currently costs, but that has been out for 3 years or so.


 * I too enjoy RPG's and Visual Novels the best. I just finished getting the final ending for Hate Plus right before hopping on here and checking my messages. I admittedly haven't played very many VN's because a lot of them aren't available to me commercially and I'm not sure what is safe to download and what isn't. I've played CLANNAD (I also own the entire anime on Blu-Ray), Fate Stay Night/Fate Stay Night Heaven's Feel/Fate Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks, Analogue: A Hate Story, Hate Plus and Long Live the Queen. Quite frankly, I'd recommend all of them. My favorite RPG's are: Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age Origins (everything beyond that of Bioware just hasn't hit any of the right notes for me).


 * It's been that way for me for since 2012. Most AAA are now open world, have towers that you have to climb (usually to survey the map), multiplayer is tacked on, and nearly all are sequels which is really unfortunate because it can lead to series being watered down. One great example of a game that massively dropped the ball (excluding the obvious Star Wars Battlefront) was Batman: Arkham Knight which turned a well loved series of mine into a tank driving simulator with a very shallow plot that was made up of the most horrid and out of character writing that I've seen since Mass Effect 3's ending. I can understand it being great because it lets us save our money though XD Buckle up   I'm going to be popular  03:42, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
