User blog:Shadowswimmer77/PSA regarding new Creepypasta website

Since getting your stories seen is a big thing for a lot of the authors around here I wanted to bring a new (ish) website to be community's attention. Creepypasta.xyz operates similarly to creepypasta.com in that stories chosen for publication on the site are featured on the front page. The site currently publishes three stories a day. The four most recent stories show up at the front page as well as the four most recently high rated stories (at least a 4 on a 5 point rating scale) and a couple others the admins choose to spotlight. Unlike creepypasta.com there is a good deal of transparency with their selection process. All submitted stories show as "pending" in your profile until they are either accepted or rejected. The only rejections I have received have been because a couple of my stories were deemed too intense for their 12+ age rating (Father's Love and Her Red Right Hand if anyone is interested.). Another cool thing offered is a total number of views your story receives. They do have quality standards, but from what I've seen they are considerably less stringent than here on the wikia.

So far, the site seems to be unknown enough that their review process is pretty quick (a week or less for most shorter stories) and the stories themselves have been published within a couple weeks of submission. Hit counts have been pretty consistent, around 1k views in the 24 hours featured on the front page. Most stories have had about 20 people rate them, and at least one or two comments.

I understand it might be frowned upon to be essentially advertising another website, but I wanted to bring it to the community's attention while it was still in its relatively new state so some of you might be able to get your work featured. I know I've seen a couple other wiki regulars over there, but honestly haven't heard about the site anywhere else. Best of luck, and hope to see you out there!
