Maybe it was an NSFW pasta, if so, this guide has you covered.

Or maybe it was a more emotion driven story that you're wondering about what went wrong.

Doom Vroom Riddles Your Talk Page With Stupidity
Hi, Empyre! Did you check out E3 and if so, what games from it interest you? Here's a list of everything shown off at E3:  Tyranny, Mafia 3, Watch Dogs 2, and Agents of Mayhem on my end. Oh, so Bethesda has said that they aren't working on Elder Scrolls 6 and are going to work on two new IPs before they do so, so maybe they'll put out something new that you like more than Elder Scrolls 6 (if I recall right, you don't care for Elder Scrolls 6 all that much). I am hoping for a Sci-Fi RPG and a Spy RPG. Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular  22:02, June 16, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for putting words in your mouth then. I've heard Shadow of Colossus and the Persona series are really good, but I've not gotten to play either of them. Resident Evil 7: Bio-hazard is supposedly going to be like the first two (3?) Resident Evils and will see the return of herbs with shooting getting a bit of a backseat treatment. It'll be more survival horror based instead of a shooter. Interestingly, the E3 footage and the demo aren't actually going to be in the final game, so it's best to be cautious since that's really weird and sketchy. There's a couple more I'm interested in: Resident Evil 7, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Prey, South Park and Dead Rising 4. Still waiting for information on my single player Star Wars games though, haven't had one that was single player and not released for phones since 2010 (Force Unleashed II). I'll probably buckle and get Lego Star Wars 7 out of the bargain bin (cause bs dlc practices exist for it, but I am starved for Star Wars games). Buckle up!

 * 6 was really weird. It tried to capture the classic experience with Ada, COD with Chris, Resi 4 with Leon, and something completely new with Wesker's son (can't remember his name, spoilers maybe, but you aren't going to finish it). It just had a big lack of direction and suffered an identity crisis because they couldn't stick to just one style of play. I got to where I enjoyed it, but I really had to switch off my brain and throw it out the window to do so. The idea of Wesker having a son was really stupid to me for example (Wesker was the only thing that kept me interested in 5). You might look into Days Gone for your zombie fix, if you don't like what you see and hear about 7. It's different in principle, but it looks like a great zombie game and I'd be all over it if it wasn't PS4 exclusive. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  21:47, June 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * Dead Rising 4 is a timed Xbox One/PC exclusive in case you didn't know, so there will be a bit of a wait for you (rumor is a year) until you can play it. Timed exclusivity and bought exclusivity is so stupid, at least exclusivity can make sense when a Microsoft or Sony owned studio personally develops a game. I have the impression that Days Gone is going to be single player only based upon the gameplay they released at E3, but I could be mistaken. Definitely a single player campaign tho. I'm really jealous of missing out on Days Gone and the new Spiderman game (yes, a Spiderman game is a PS4 exclusive :| ). Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  00:09, June 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Better now then you going to the store to buy it at release XD It'll just be like how Rise of the Tomb Raider was exclusive to Xbox One for 6 months. If you have Windows Gaming then you can play it on PC, so there's that. All of Microsoft's games that were announced at E3 this year were both available on Xbox One and Windows Gaming. Playstation seems to be locking down on exclusivity as most of their games aren't even playable on PC. It (Days Gone) won't. I looked up the company that is making it and it was SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment, I presume). Every game they've ever made, starting back on the PS2, has been exclusive to Playstations, womp womp. I'll probably buy a PS4 again when the PS5 comes out like I did with the PS3. Buckle up!

 * *crosses fingers and waits for Sega to appear and smash both Microsoft and Sony into the ground because it would be funny* The entirety of this gen has been a flop for me, I own 17 games on the Xbox One and of those 17, 10 of them are either remasters or available on last gen consoles (I only bought remasters because they were packaged with a game that I didn't own). Microsoft's Scorpio is all, but a verbal admission that they released the Xbox One too soon. Microsoft's strategy appears to be to put out a new console and call it an upgrade, so that their fanbase doesn't get pissed off. Microsoft has yo-yo'd so much on whether or not the Scorpio will have games exclusive to it.


 * I'm expecting Sony to turn around and do the same thing with the Neo. I think the reason they didn't announce the Neo was so they could see what exactly Microsoft was doing and how far they could push things. Even though the Playstation 4 is more powerful than the Xbox One, they've been toning down the frame-rate to match that which the Xbox One puts out when they release the same game for both systems. I'd best stop before I start to rant further, but needless to say, I think they made these consoles too soon (which is odd, because the 360 was 8 when the Xbox One came out and that was the longest Console Generation ever). I'm just worried that they're going to keep pushing things (rushing through console generations) until the developers literally cannot break even. Buckle up!

Quick Question
Hi, I just recently posted a story called "The Smile Man, which you deleted.  I believe I figured out why it was deleted, due to spacing errors that I had made when moving the story over into the Wiki from my typing program.

I was wondering what the rules are on putting my story back, now that i've fixed the spacing errors?

Hey Empy,

Not sure if you could do this or not, but I uploaded the story I am planning on adding to the contest in the WW. I just finished writing it tonight and wanted to get a feel for how well it is received. Would you be able to give me some feedback on it? Its title is Blobster.

There are a few errors in An Egg.

""Yup," I said" Needs period.

""Now you're getting it." I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back." Period after "it" needs to be a comma.

""And you're John Wilkes Booth, too." I added." Period after "too" needs to be a comma.

Not sure if this is right
I checked my edit count via the badges panel at the right side of my profile page and found out I really have made more than 380 article edits in my whole time here on this site. My statistics (the chart at the bottom of my page) says otherwise. I figured out the edit count on the badges panel included my edits on previously deleted articles. Do you think this might affect my standing as a possible candidate for rollback? I really don't have high hopes yet, just thought of bringing this up.

By the way, I was wondering if you were able to get the other admin's thoughts on a Rollback app which doesn't meet the 450 requirement. I feel like I've made a bit of an effort in the last week or so to prove myself, and I feel like I would be able to manage being a Rollbacker if an exception were to be made. Anyways, just wondering.

"Don't get hot and flustered,  use a bit of mustard!"  21:57, June 22, 2016 (UTC)


 * Well in that case, I'll most likely put up the application in a couple days or so. There's one thing I'm a bit confused by, however. On the requests page it says to "Create a subpage with your username (i.e. Project:Requests for Rollback/Username )". If I put " * /Dr. Frank N. Furter/ " under the "Open Applications" header, will this automatically create a "Creepypasta Wiki:Requests for Rollback/Dr. Frank N. Furter" page?

My story "One Less Soul"
Hi, Empy. I do not know if you remember our conversation a while ago, about my story "One Less Soul"; a submission to the 666 words literary exercise that I wanted to get published on the site? Since then I've put alot of work into it and given it more debth; I've had it out on the writer's workshop board and gotten 1 comment back (which was really helpful), but my 2nd revision hasn't got any; which is not surprising; as it has been added a whole bunch of new stories since then.

However, what I am so clumsily trying to ask is: what can one do to try to get attention to one's story again? Is it for instance allowed to post it again on the writer's workshop board after a while (I haven't done this, in case it is not allowed to do so)?

Got any tips regarding this subject?

As a shameless self promotion; here's a link to my story, in case you want to see it for yourself. http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:539023

Hi Empy,

I am completely lost on how to contribute. I know Im not doing it right but the instruction are a little confusing to me (not a tech savy person and never used a wiki except this one). Is there a video, step by step guide, or progression chart any where so I can see the exact steps? Thanks for tour help.

I have made a request to please reupload "Julienne's Lover part 1" after it's premature deletion. I was in the process of formatting the document. My Chrome browser prevents me from copy-pasting, and I don't appreciate my work not being given a chance.

Sincerely,

G.M. Danielson (talk) 03:12, June 25, 2016 (UTC)

Julienne's Lover part 1 was a finished story, specifically a complete 1st part. The entire story is over 20,000 words...it was my impression that such lengthy stories would not be uploaded unless in manageable parts. I don't see why a finished story, whether it is in parts or a stand-alone, cannot be uploaded. I understand the reasoning with The Elder Gods, viz., that was clearly a draft.

(I don't know how to respond quite yet, however, I am willing to learn. I feel like I'm very well wrote, which is why I reuploaded it, believing it was accidental. I can't find any grammatical errors, would you please help me? Also, the story is supposed to be rushed, due to the fact that it is an introductory, and nothing more. I can't completely fathom this site quite yet, and I would hate for you to ban me, or for me to be a thorn in your side. Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it, sir.)

Hey, i recently uploaded 2 creepypastas and they were both deleted. Can I ask why? If yes, do you have any recommendations you could give me? Nothing personal, I understand everything happens for a reason.

P.s, I am not quite sure how this signature thingy works.

DarkenedFire (talk) 20:18, June 26, 2016 (UTC)

(I'm sorry, I'll watch a video om how go respond in a moment.)

Please don't ban me for saying this, because I'm merely speaking my mind. I don't believe you fully understand the English language, and, there's no reason to be ashamed of that. You probably didn't take poetry classes, or, fell asleep during them, given that you don't understand dramazitation. That being the reason I used periods, rather than commas. Assuming your age, (I'm assuming you're around 15.) I'm not that you were aggravated by my wording, it being Lovecraftian, especially since I copy pasted from one of his books, in that specific sentence. He's very well known for his ever-so difficult wording, and, in general, books. To help you grow accustom to this, I suggest reading some pulp fiction. I highly insist that you read "Dream Quest of Unknown Kaddath". Once again, I mean no disrespect or harm while informing you of this, I am just trying to inform you. I feel as if you are very intelligent, so I'm trying to appeal to you in a logical way, rather than an emotional way. Also, I did mot plaugerise his wording, I did source him for that sentence. With kind regards, LovecraftianTerror (talk) 22:08, June 27, 2016 (UTC)LovecraftianTerror

Poem? Not likely, it's just a good element to use, in my opinion. Also, I'm sorry that I seemed to be condescending, and, rereading it, I can see why you believe I was. You're probably somwhere around my level of intelligence, given your ranking here. If you still feel like I'm being condescending, remind yourself you far out rank me, and I'm pleading with practically all my might, AND that I'm making a fool of myself. It's not that I don't wish to improve my story, it's simply that I believe doing so would kill the pulp vibe, which many readers haven't been introduced to here, and I feel that some would like it. I plea (not sarcastically or ironically) that you consider remembering that pulp fiction is quite an aquired taste, and that they are known for being short and rushed. (Yes, I understand that comma wasn't required, but I enjoy using them, as to give my work emotion.)  I strongly bid you read Lovecraft and Lord Dunsey, as you MAY enjoy my work. (Given that I don't traditonally do pulp fiction, I strongly insist on the "may" part.) If I were to prove I could write an entirely new story with a not-so rushed story line, would you consider posting this story?

I'm sorry,  I just wanted to do pulp fiction SO bad, I just don't know how to. I'm sorry I wasted so much of your time. I'll work to better at it, before ever even attempting again. Also, could I possibly leave the story on your page when I think it's good enough, just for you to tell me what to improve?

Okay, I wasn't trying to humble-brag. I'm clearly doing something wrong when it comes to creepypasta. Is it more about complicity rather than simplicity. Should I make "I Know You Can" longer? It won both a local and a regional story contest I entered it into back when I was in 10th grade. I feel as if there is something I'm missing, even if it is simply needing to make the story longer. COuld you point out specific errors you believe are there so I can correct it?

I do see your point, but, considering I can think of few realistic creepypastas, I didn't believe it was an issue, and, given that this DOES (< Please don't regard that as being rude, I'm trying to be as nice as possible.) have feedback, (Positive ones) I think it's fine. COuld we possibly bring in a third party of any kind?

Eh, I think I'm losing it. I shouldn't care this much about it. I really shouldn't care at all. But, I do. What bothers me about this, is I used to be regarded as a wonderful author, however, I've grown lazy. It's to much of a bother to me now to even write one of my longer better stories. Pehaps my laziness is why I'll fail. But who knows. You know what? I'll stay up all night, just to get a story wrote, and, I'll type it out completely. I'm going to go all in. Sorry for pestering you.

Fine. I'll take it to the reader's workshop. You win.

Re: Edits
(Meant to respond two hours ago but damn power went out) Real sorry about that, I assumed that it was technically changing the plot of the story. I'll try not to fuckup like that again.

And just so I won't embarrass myself again in my rollback app, would you please confirm that these are the correct naming conventions?

Okay, so I am trying to appeal a story but I do not see an option to add my comment on the appeals page anywhere. The story is "David Laughs in His Sleep". It was deleted for reupload (plus a 3 day ban which I found a little harsh). I think it is safe to say I have no idea how to properly use the wiki and am trapped in Writers Workshop for any story I write. I have no idea how to use the showcase, even after reading through it. I am not getting how you post a link to the page and only the name shows up. I understand how to submit for contribute, but have no clue what to do after. Back to the appeal, without a way to add to the appeal page how can I appeal this?

I think I dun goof'd
Hello,

So, in an attempt to ensure my story (Past's Landing) was free from blacklisted subjects, I removed all explicit video game references (i.e. Playstation 2 and SNES) and I resubmitted it a third time. The trouble with that this time around is it said I'm now disallowed from posting it. I would appreciate perhaps having an admin review it and give it the approval (or denial), then see where we go from there.

Hey Empy,

I know you might be kind of tired of seeing me around here, as I may have come off as agitating in the past, due to my actions. However, I've come to ask what "channels" I have to go through to get my story re-approved.

Now, before you ask if it's the same terrible story, no, it isn't. I've spent the last couple of months detailing the pasta, and adding new features to make it less... Tryhard-ish? Anyway, just curious as to where I can request it to be re-added, I think you might like this newer version way better than the previous.

Thanks!

So I wrote a story called "PSA: Demon Summoning," posted it, and it almost immediately got deleted. I'm not exactly sure why it was, to be honest. Is it because it's a comedy story? I'm genuinely confused. Please let me know. Thank you.

The Goddamn Dorkpool (talk) 18:31, July 1, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, ok, thanks for letting me know. I probably should post it on my site or something.

Anyway, thanks for responding and explaining.

The Goddamn Dorkpool (talk) 18:53, July 1, 2016 (UTC)

Glad you enjoyed the humor of the story, and thanks for saying so.

Also, the story is posted to my site now. I've got a link, if you're curious:  http://dorkpoolriffs.weebly.com/etc

Story
May I please have a copy of the '"My Obsession," the Video' story that was deleted? I want to upload it to the writers' workshop. My on-harddrive copy seems to have been overwritten... Thanks.

Hello my story got deleted and I was wondering how would I be able to post the story back with the grammar checked.

Deletion Request
I just posted a pasta that I'm not too proud of. It was an older story, about a year and some change old that I just said "fuck it I'm posting it" without really taking into consideration the quality standards and the cliche of it. I was wondering if you could delete it. The Picker Thanks in advanced. GreyOwl (talk) 19:58, July 3, 2016 (UTC)

Proposition
So firstly I have to thank you for your Support vote on the rollback app, so obviously thanks a lot for that.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with The Velvet Underground, but they were an avant-garde rock group from the 60s-70s, and Lou Reed was the lead member. They made a song in 1968 which featured a rock instrumental in the right speaker and a short story narration in the left. It was titled "The Gift". The story was written by Lou Reed while he was in college. I like the story and think that it might make an interesting addition to the wiki, however I'm not sure if it's up to quality standards. When you have some spare time, would you mind giving the short story a read and weighing in on its possible inclusion to the site? No rush.

And by the way, you that said this user did a bad edit, but it appears you never reverted their edit. "Don't get hot and flustered,  use a bit of mustard!"  02:38, July 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright, sweet, I'll get the thing proofread, formatted, cited, video-linked, and posted when I get the chance. Thanks. "Don't get hot and flustered,   use a bit of mustard!"  03:29, July 4, 2016 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Happy Fourth. "Don't get hot and flustered,  use a bit of mustard!"  18:08, July 4, 2016 (UTC)

I'm about to rename the story "Devoted To Light" to "Devoted to Light". The "Rename associated talk page" box is checked and I assume this story doesn't need a redirect. Does the "Rename subpages of talk page" box remain unchecked? The form states that "This page has no subpages.". Sorry. "Don't get hot and flustered,  use a bit of mustard!"  02:20, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * No I don't believe I do, thank you. One thing I've noticed however is that my name hasn't turned green; I assume I just need to wait longer for it to take effect. I'll go ahead and rename that page then. "Don't get hot and flustered,   use a bit of mustard!"  02:38, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, maybe my name having punctuation is messing it up? Or my signature, somehow? I really have no idea either, to be honest. Getting the help of a tech-savvy individual would probably be best. Maybe they can fix it, on the MONITOR! Also, I'm hoping this isn't really some sort of anti-alien, speciesism thing.


 * So despite your incorrect renaming statement, if I'm renaming a page, is having "Rename associated talk page" checked and "Rename subpages of talk page" unchecked ideal? "Don't get hot and flustered,   use a bit of mustard!"  03:05, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

I've got the story ready for posting, only problem is that there is already a story here named "The Gift". Coincidentally looking over it I'm not sure if it meets QS. Please let me know what you think of it; if it does meet QS then I'll come up with a new name for Lou Reed's story here.

Editing
I can't say if this counts as vandalism or as an appropriate edit, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention anyway.

Do you have a personal email or any way I can contact you offsite quickly? There's something I need to tell you which can't be delayed.

Thank you for deleting my story
I just wanted to say thank you as I didn't really think it was of good enough quality myself and realized I should have made a better plot. I will revise more from now on. Best Regards, TbombTheAltHistorian (talk) 21:46, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

A small question
Hello. I'm sorry to bother you, but I recently posted a story called "Woman With A Screwdriver" and it instantly got deleted. Like, a few seconds after it was posted. I'm really confused, but is it a spin-off or is it because I forgot to change the mode from Visual to Source? Unless, my wording and/or sentences are confusing.

Again, sorry to bother you and please answer to stop being so confused. Probably sounded kind of demanding, even if it wasn't intended to be. That One Gaming Author (talk) 22:50, July 8, 2016 (UTC)

Would you like to review something for me?
I know you are a busy man, but if you could find the time to review my story on the writers workshop, Venomous, I'd be extremely grateful. I was considering posting it to Whitix's contest, so I'll need all the help I can get. There should be little to no grammtical errors, and the story is not too long, so hopefully it shouldn't take much of your time!

Thankyou in advance, Anarchic Operations (talk) 01:37, July 9, 2016 (UTC)

Further discussing deleted story.
I'm not really sure if I should be replying in the "Deletion Appeal" section or here, but since the deletion section is an important Wiki tool I don't think it would be wise to clog it up with continual conversation. So, I'm just going to say my piece here:

There was a narrative to the story. Certainly it was unclear, ambiguous and left a lot more questions than answers - but is the necessarily a bad thing? Horror is supposed to leave you confused and uncomfortable. It's supposed to confuse you, it's supposed to leave things to your imagination. Knowledge is the apex predator of fear, and the more rules you give your story and it's universe the less scary it becomes. A big part of fear is not knowing what's going on. That's why we're all afraid of the dark.

Would you have found the story more acceptable if it was explained that the reason a man's brain was hooked up to a computer system was that an especially scummy company or organization was trying to build a superintelligent, obedient artificial intelligence to create dynamic advertisements and marketing and all of it was part of an even bigger plot by an Illuminati-type organization to get millions of people to buy dangerous products that make them submissive and infertile?

Maybe I could have given just a little bit more information to make the narrative more coherent, but isn't mystery and ambiguity a vital part of horror fiction? And if the narrative I just described (as an example, not the definitive explanation of the story) is flawed or doesn't entirely make sense, wouldn't ambiguity and mystery be an effective way to compensate for that problem?

I'm sorry if you're annoyed or bothered by this message, but I have a lot of thoughts on this matter and the topic in general, and I feel the need to express them. DoctorBleed (talk) 23:40, July 9, 2016 (UTC)

My final question for tonight is this:

If I submit the story to the writer's workshop, add more content to it, make the plot more coherent and give the reader more to work with, is there a chance my story can go back up? Am I allowed to try to fix it? Or is it completely rejected and not allowed to be on the site period? DoctorBleed (talk) 00:09, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

So, would you be alright with me submitting a new, rewritten draft to the Writer's Workshop? Because I actually am quite willing to rewrite the story fresh from the start if I can make it better. DoctorBleed (talk) 00:21, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Then the challenge is accepted. If the original format is unacceptable, I can easily change the framing device. There's more than one way to tell a story but a human brain kept alive by machines. DoctorBleed (talk) 00:32, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

This user recently posted this page which may seem blank with the exception of the delete template, but check the history and you will see that the page was originally a picture of a penis.

Possible plagarism
Good morning Empy, some users are reporting this story: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Sawney%27s_Cave#comm-546918, as being copied word for word from wikipedia, however here is the link for the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawney_Bean. It may have been copied from there or elsewhere, but I am not sure. Thanks! Luigifan100 14:04, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

zumokiworks335 22:55, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I realized that you recently deleted my pasta.

I would like to know your reasoning behind doing so. I have looked through the Quality Standards, yet I can't find the reason why. Maybe I'm just blind.

I'm thinking of writing a book, so I would like to know my mistakes this time, so I don't make them again.

Thanks

hey despite my terrible skill at writing creepypastas is there somewhere on the wiki where i can practice writing and get feed back at the same time or maybe something close to what im asking for??

question
I saw your (in my eyes) very helpful critique of the story Ms Candycane and I wondered if you could maybe spare some time to look at my story in the workshop titled 'Gracious Host'. It's my first and I would love to know how I can improve it.

Apologies if you don't want someone asking directly.

Re:
Why exactly was my story deleted? CappkaTalk 17:19, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well? It doesn't take 10 minutes with a quick respond. CappkaTalk 17:30, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't realise you go quite in depth with story reviews, so I thought I was going to get a quick response for something minor. Anyway, I'm regards to the story, I don't think you completely understand the narrative.


 * "The voices explained his surroundings quite well" and the "****" were supposed to signify that the court was all in a man's [killers] head. I also tried to imply this with "his mind a tangle of broken words and flawed logic". Basically, I'm trying to capture the essence of a psychopath, so I wrote the story in that manner to show fragmentation and insanity. It's a little complicated, and mainly the fault of my purposeful vagueness with the characters.


 * I don't really understand how "flowery" or some slight grammatical stuff that's only a result of different dialect detracts from the story, but that's a matter of taste.


 * Anyway, thanks for responding, and sorry for my impatience (just a little misunderstanding on my part). One final thing, though, will I be able to post again once I revise the story a little bit (and get feedback)? CappkaTalk 18:30, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I thought some of the ridiculousness of the court section ("...of this tradition", "The murder of this man is now legalised nation-wide.") sort of implied that to an extent, but I guess I got it wrong. Also, I didn't use a thesaurus when writing the story, or try to use big words, I just wrote the story as I always do. Anyway, here's a link to the revised story, I've fixed all the issues you had: http://pastebin.com/UPTLrJ6v
 * CappkaTalk 19:12, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I see where you're coming from, but I feel the words I use are best suited for the story. Anyway, I really appreciate the type of feedback you give, considering all the other stuff you do on here. I used to have an account on another wiki unaffiliated with wikia, where I was an admin and had 13000 edits in one year, so I get the amount of work you do. CappkaTalk 19:27, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
