HI
I had mostly intended to check up on wikia for some reez and found meself participating in the freestyle contest and stuff (for which my entry is here I'm pretty proud of it) and I'm doing super well! As far as well can go while my exams are two weeks away I guess. Any who, it was really nice to hear from someone, especially you, when I just made a coupla edits.

I do hope stuff's good with you, too. I won't be around much of course, but now that I'm getting blown away with every distraction I find, I'm not so sure. >_>

Also, I have better knock knock jokes now.

Want in?

Ok I realize I asked you in the beginning however, although I haven't gotten a response from Cyanwrites yet, Underscorre and I agree we need one - two more panel judges. I am officially inviting you. Would you like to be on the panel?

Hey,

You recently deleted my latest upload for not meeting the criteria, which is fair enough. I did discover a few errord with punctuation and grammar that i believe I have remedies, is there anything else that needs doing?

It's intended as a shortpasta/micrpasta

Cheers, there's a lot of stuff to remember and I've only just started doing this.

Advice on how to proceed
Hey Empy, I've just deleted Has Anyone Seen my Son, as it bears a striking resemblance to this, which was posted on Reddit quite a bit earlier than the story was posted on this site.

Could you advise me on how to punish the user who posted it? As you may be able to see from my talk page, I've misjudged this kind of thing in the past and don't want to slip up again.

Hoping you're well, « Under Scorre » 21:46, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've been looking through their contribs, and this thread seems to suggest they had no idea about the original story, so I think that you're right about them just not properly understanding how to credit the original author. «  Under Scorre   »  22:50, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, My name is Clay and I wrote a short story called The Kindly Old Man. Could you please tell me why it was deleted? I'm new to this so I need tips and help if you are able. Thanks for your time.

-Clay

Yo. I noticed that you took down my creepypasta called "The Truth Behind Pac-Man". What is wrong with it?

re
Thanks Empy. As usual I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I tried to make a link but when I tested it it showed my Facebook info, which I didn't really want out there. So I just took the link down. Thanks for asking.

Would this get deleted if submitted?

This is a CP that I wrote in the workshop. http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:422091#2

I would like to know if this would get deleted if posted.

No idea if you've seen this
But Nick's requested that he be demoted for a few months. « Under Scorre   »  20:11, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Can you tell me exactly why my creepypasta was deleted from the wiki?thank you

Questions And Concerns
Hi, Empy. I have seen your warning(s) and I have a couple of different questions for you.

First of all, I may have a different layout from you guys because I have a laptop. I bring this up because I still have to idea mow to add any sort of categories to pages in a single edit. I have to edit several times to get both the story and the catagories in there. I am pretty sure that if an uninformed admin saw this, they would think that I was edit-count inflating. If you have any sort of tutorial page about this, kindly direct me to such

Second, I am slightly OCD and all the warnings on my page are bugging the crap out of me. I understand the point of warnings is to be read but I have read all recent warnings. Do I really have to just put up with this or is there some way to change this?

Thirdly, How are you supposed to use the blog function? Is it like an actual blog or what?

Fourthly, I have noticed an uptick in low quality pastas from the freestyle competition. Are we supposed to M4R these if they are really bad or do we leave them alone? If we are supposed to leave them alone, then you will sadly need to remove a M4R and Delete Now template from two recent pastas: School Lunch Lady and one other I forget the title of.

Fifthly, How does the deletion process work? I have submitted some pastas to this site that have been deleted while Shapeshifter and other works of such poor quality remain. Are these merely unnoticed or is there is something I am missing.

Sixth, How do you close threads on the Writers Workshop? I have about three to five threads that are in need of closure because they are so old.

Seventh(and finally), What happens when you are banned? do you still have access to your account but are unable to post or edit, do you get locked out of yur account completely, or *gasp* the ENTIRE site?

SOURCECODE01 (talk) 23:15, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Moments ago you deleted my short creepypasta 'School Dinner Lady" and I'm curious why. I know its not the greatest story on heaven and earth but I feel it does meet the mininum requirements for this wiki. Besides that, I wrote it for a creepypasta contest which has a time contraint.

Your thoughts?

King Hadas (talk) 23:50, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

I can't argue with the grammatical and punctuation errors. Those are things I simply didn't notice but can easily be fixed.

As for plot issues:

'''"I grabbed a tray and began sliding it down the empty lunch bar, pretending to put food on it." Why is he doing this again if not to only set up the shadowy figure's actions? You shift in time without really dealing with consequences.'''

He's doing it because he has a childish fixation on being served school lunch. I believe I set this up in the first paragraph but I suppose I could have gone into slightly more detail.

'''"I wouldn't see the sun again until four months later. Morris and Teddy were eating lunch when I appeared literally out of nowhere." A teenager has been missing for four months and there is no talk of missing person's cases and the parents resolve to send the protagonist to a boarding school without any real reason. (Also where was he for four months where no one else would come across him as you never discuss him being taken anywhere?) Additionally what are the friends doing all of his encounter with the lunch lady? They are in the vicinity and they were the last people to see him before he vanished.'''

The fact that he literally reappeared out of nowhere and in the exact room he disappeared from implies that he was taken to another dimension. There's no talk of missing persons because that's not part of this story. The main character is the only perspective and he was elsewhere during this time. His parents send him to boarding school because he's been missing for four months and offers no explanation why. What do you do with your child in that situation? I thought a boarding school made sense. Maybe not the best parenting but it made sense. And his friends are busy messing around in the girl's locker room.

I guess I could have emphasized certain details more but all in all I feel the story is coherent and I don't agree with it being deleted.

Just for Clarification
Just to clarify, command would look like this for the first story of a series  or are the brackets not needed? Same goes for the second story  Haha and it looks like that question answered my question

If a story says it's from /x/ should I tag it with the Reddit Pastas category? I've came across a couple that said that and wasn't sure. Thanks.

Asking a question
Hi. You recently deleted my Creepypasta submission- "Don't go out with strangers". What could I have done so that it didn't get deleted?

Clear case of plaugurism
Hi, Empy. I have found a blatant case of plagurism of the pasta "Masterpiece." The person reposted it with the title changes to 5:00 a.m.

Here is the link: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/5_a.m

Also, I am apparently using the beta VisualEditor so if this erases your talk page, I am SO sorry.

 * Page has been deleted. To be honest, I don't see much point in taking action against the poster - - since s/he hasn't logged in for almost a year anyway, although feel free to ban them if you feel otherwise, Emp.  17:14, February 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've taken a quick look through their contributions, and there only seemed to be one other - Bitten, which I've redirected to the page it was duplicated from. Dibbuk does turn up some results which come from before the wiki was created, but it appears to be an urban-legend type thing, according to Wikipedia, so I haven't taken any action. Other than that I couldn't find anything, but it is possible I've missed something. 18:17, February 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * As a heads-up, Under, you can block the user yourself. No need to consult a crat about this. Mystreve (talk) 18:30, February 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've had trouble in the past on deciding what is and what isn't plagiarism (see User talk:Underscorre/Archive 2), so I'm just trying to ensure I don't issue an unfair ban. 18:43, February 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * A ripped-off story is a ripped-off story. But, that's fine. If you needed a second opinion, I understand. Mystreve (talk) 18:45, February 12, 2015 (UTC)

What's Up?
Hey Empy! How are you doing? So I sent my Creepypasta to a couple of other people for peer review. So far, I haven't heard back from them yet. The only thing i know is that one of the people i sent it to replied back to me saying that they got the email. Hopefully they can send me a review of the pasta as soon as possible but hey everybody's schedule is different and some people may be busier than others. I'm still looking for ideas for Chapter 5 by the way.

I can try and send the pasta through Pastebin but i will need a link to the site or location in order to do that. If there's another method that will work best for you then tell me and i will send the pasta there.

Ah thanks! Though i'm worried that other people besides me and you might see the pasta and it may spoil it for people who were waiting to read the pasta. Nevertheless, i'll give it a try.

Ah, okay, sorry for being rude earlier

I Sent The Story To Pastebin
Ok. I took your advice and put the story on Pastebin. Here i'll link it to you so you don't have to spend much time looking for it. This is it: http://pastebin.com/y0NCZ1uP

Hope that link works for you. If not, I'll try and send another message to you with JUST the link and not a whole lot of other text.

I Did It!
Empy! You won't believe what just happened! I actually found a pasta WORSE that Douglas&Donald1! It's called "Lost at Disney". Why is it bad? Well here's my review of it (I also left this on the story page as well):

WOW! Just... Wow! This gives Douglas&Donlad1 a run for its money! This is the kind of pasta you'd see on the Trollpasta wiki. Alright here are my main gripes with this pasta:

1. This story is nothing but a big ol' wall of text. I can see why the "No Wall of Text" rule is in place. Not only does this show extremely poor grammer skills, but it also makes it hard to read and see as well. Look, i'm not saying you should space EVERY SINGLE sentence like a paragraph. What I am saying is that every 5 sentences, make a paragraph. This will make it easier on your reader's eyes and will actually help them follow along with the story better. Which leads me to my next point.

2. I don't even know what the story is about. When I first looked at the title, I thought it was about a little kid getting lost in Disneyland and capturing the fear a little kid might feel being seperated in a big place like that. However, when I read the first part of the story, I thought it was going to be a Five Nights at Freddy's scenario where the animatronics come to life at night and try to attack somebody. As I kept reading (by the way, thank you for the headache Mr. Text Wall!) it switched to something different. If this was one of those "Anthology" stories, I could at least understand. If that was the idea however, I think there should be some sort of indication that it's numerous stories rolled into one. However, from what I understand of this, that doesn't seem to be the case.

3. The amount of grammatical errors. OH MY GOD! Where do I begin? I don't know because pretty much the whole story is nothing BUT these! Peer review, Word editing softwares, hell even GOOGLE should've been used to check for errors like these! If there were one or maybe a couple of minor spelling errors here, I could be a bit more lenient on this pasta's grammer but... Oh... God! This is just a mess! If I were an English teacher and a student handed in an assignment with THIS many grammatical errors in it, I'd probably do a couple of things. A) Have a heart attack. B) Turn into a raging fire goddess. C) Both A and B.

Sorry if I seemed angry but... this story is just... UGH! I can't believe I actually found a story WORSE than Douglas&Donald1. At least with that story, I could understand and follow along with the plot ok! I can now understand why this story is up for deletion!

I just wanted to make sure you saw this. I just thought it was something you might want to see (or not). I googled it and it's true (well the name matches anyway).

I would like to know why my story was deleted, I don't understand what was wrong with it, if it is too short I can easily add more to it, at least give me a copy so I can add on to it thank youscott adkins 02:49, February 16, 2015 (UTC)

Please tell me exactly what was wrong with my story. I was in the midst of writing it and needed to break and next I check its gone. I look through story regulations and find nothing that was wrong with it (that I saw of course). I would like for you to be specific on what was wrong. Was the plot not consistent (it probably was)? Was there grammatical errors (also probably was)? I don't know any else that would have been wrong. Along with the fact I put non-existent categories in so that was probably the biggest thing. But anything other than that I need to know about?

K. Thanks. Probably going to trash it anyways... But if I continue I'm going to up her age a bit. Most likely not going to continue though. But anyways thanks for clearing that up.

Hey,

Looks like you deleted a story of mine after I left a poorly worded authors note at the end that made it seem unfinished. Truth was that was the end of the story, done, finito, in all of its underwhelming glory. I was just gauging a reaction to see if anyone was interested in seeing the follow-up that I was already working on (which is the same character but a different story/setting that just refers back to the first story in passing.)

Sorry bout that.

Check this
I found The Baptism on tumblr-here. I added the credit template to credit Micah, but it was removed. Odd thing is, there was a picture in the original if you look, and the picture said By Micah Rodney, but it has since been removed as well. I'm guessing this is attempted plagiarism that got all mixed up. I just thought maybe you could sort it out.

Jay Ten (talk) 23:44, February 17, 2015 (UTC)

I'm Confused
I am here to ask a question. Why was my story deleted as soon as I submitted it? I read the quality rules but I am still unsure of what I did wrong.

An apology for rule infrigment
I was not aware tha editing the talkpage was against the rules but I checked and it is. I will be rereading the rules so I do not make any more mistakes. I apologize. I haven't been very active here at all. I just wanted to post this if its alright. King Gigabyte talk 04:59, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. I wasn't aware of the cliches in my story and how confusing it got at the end. I would make a better version of it now that I know but I think that is against the rules. Also, I sort of was introducing my character because I wanted to help the reader understand her past a little, but I see where you are coming from. I hope when I write another creepypasta that it isn't as bad as this..Airia166 (talk) 05:41, February 18, 2015 (UTC)airia166
