RE: Deletion
Hey,

I deleted your story as I didn't feel it was up to our Quality Standards.

I have a variety of issues with it. For example, I dislike the writing style. It's difficult to describe, but it makes your story feel odd/awkward to read and distracts me from the plot itself. On the subject of the plot, it feels sort of forced and rushed. It's just event after event, with no reason for anything to happen. You need to spend more time describing the reasoning behind each thing and what it was like.

The narrator doesn't really have any relatable features, so it's difficult to feel any sort of emotional attachment to him. In addition to this, we see know reason for the narrator to want to save his brother, he just does.

Some parts are extremely unclear, for example, the ending. The whole thing needs more description for readers to understand what you mean by certain parts.

The tense you are writing in is all over the place. One minute you'll be talking in the present tense, next you'll be talking in the past. The punctuation is wrong on multiple occasions, especially around speech.

Sorry about the poor quality of this review, I'm kind of busy right now.

RE:A trial in heaven
Hi diexilius,thanks for your review on my story,A trial in heaven.I didn`t even notice all of those plot holes,like peter`s father dying when peter was seven and then banishing him from the house at 16.I will have to revise the story completely before re-uploading it.You also said that you felt like the protoanist was too hate-able,becuase of the fact that he steals from people and does not care.I didn`t mean for it to be like that.I meant for him to really deep down,feel guilty for his actions.But the temptation was too strong.He also wanted to stick with kevin,his best friend.But going over the story,I see how you got that impression.But the problem is that I can`t take out him being a thief completely,becuase that is a major part of the story.Do you know any ways I can make him seem less like a greedy person?I would really appreciate a response,thanks again.Electrolord (talk) 03:17, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

I'm so glad you liked my story The Gym Teacher
I just wanted to let you know that I have a story nominated for Pasta of The Month right now Nightingale.

RE: The Dupin Files
I guess it's over because it is no longer in the popular blogs so no one is going to see it and contribute. And, bro, of course it wasn't because of your contribution (which wasn't annoying at all). Thank you so much for adding to the story, I only wish more writers had chimed in. This is the second blog I have written like this, the first was the Cliche Pasta blog, where I started a story called The New Laptop and tried to get everyone to use all the worst creepypasta cliches but still write well and be as creative as possible. A lot more writers responded to that one (though it did eventually kind of peter out and devolve into silliness). Maybe people felt too shy to respond to this one because we were talking about well known members and administrators. I love the concept of exercising our writing skills by collaborating in this informal and goofy manner, where everyone is free to write what they want and take it anywhere they please. It was fun while it lasted, thanks so much for your contribution! Maybe I'll write another one in the future. If you ever decide to start one, message me and I'll be sure to contribute.

RE Wat Up?
Hey there, good buddy.

Not too much is up. Thanks for asking. I'm glad you liked Bubblegum Cigarettes. I guess that's my version of a tender coming of age story. He-he-he. That and The Gym Teacher.

Well, it's a beautiful spring and we've been working hard. The sweet peas and cabbage are ready for harvest, the lilacs and roses are all in bloom, bees are buzzing, birds are chirping, the hills are a shimmering green, and I'm just imagining that first ripe tomato of summer as I dig into the fresh tilled earth: black, crumbly, and crawling with worms. Ah, makes you want to go out in the garden and have a good old fashioned blood orgy, I tell 'ya.

I'm reading Louise Erdrich's newest novel LaRose and writing a review for it. I'll send you a link to the review when it's up.

How have you been? Read any good books? Seen any good movies?

HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 22:01, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

I know what you mean about Hellraiser. It just doesn't seem to stand the test of time and gets cheesier and cheesier as time slips by. My favorite classic horror movies are The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (a true work of art), Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes (as disturbing and horrific as it was forty years ago), Slither (a fun romp that manages to touch upon nearly all genres of horror), An American Werewolf in London, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Howling, House of a Thousand Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. What do you think of these gore soaked gems?

Hey, buddy, that book review I was telling you about just got published. Here's the link if you want to check it out: Book Review: LaRose by Louise Erdrich. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 16:16, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

 * Nah, man, just when you add the M4R template. If it's not 100% deletable, then the M4R is the way to go; but when they look like the ones you just witnessed, it's fine to just add the tag. It's better to use the delete template - - because that will add the big red box at the top and make sure someone doesn't overlook the category you added and then add the delete template as well (add it before the first word of the story). It's never a bad idea to put "Delete" in the edit summary so we can see it in the feed, even though we usually check every edit anyway. That will help make sure we don't overlook it. Thanks for helping out.

Re: RA Issues
Actually the issue you're seeing is the result of this asshole (God, how I hate him) who's running a batch delete program to remove a lot of the unused photos (like three hundred exact images of JtK) that are on the wiki. Unfortunately as the RA can only show 500+ edits, it has a bit of a meltdown when a program is run which deletes around 2000 over the span of a couple of hours. Unfortunately this problem with the RA feed is going to continue until I clean up the unused files (up to June 2014) so you may want to switch to the wiki skin from the mono skin if it's too bothersome looking for you. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:27, September 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Look around above the feed for where it says "Hide Logs" and click that. That will hide the deletion log and everything else will go back to normal. You can also view the wiki activity rather than recent changes if you prefer that.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 21:46, September 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * It just hit me that you may be talking about the "wiki activity" not working properly. That really shouldn't be bothered by what Empy is doing, but you can go to recent changes and do what I mentioned above about clicking the "Hide Logs" button.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 21:48, September 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * That sumbitch might already be stoned... I'm finished with the batch deletes for today (the list of unused files replenishes every day in the morning when the caches are cleared) so the feed should go back to normal soon, but I want to have a good portion of those unused files taken care of before I step out as I headed up this clean-up a few weeks ago and don't want to leave it for another admin to have to take care of. Hope you understand. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:49, September 1, 2016 (UTC)

Re:
That video is really impressive. The image of the angel with halves of a pig (I think) as wings was incredible. I've been aware of the band, but never listened to them much. I've always struggled with death/black metal because I can't understand the words and a lot of it sounds the same to me because of the way they all growl rather than sing or scream. I respect the genre, a lot of the music itself is great, but I personally have never been able to get into it. I appreciate the video; it's worth watching even without the music. Is there a similar band where the lyrics are more easily understood? My research on those genres isn't extensive. Something maybe between, say, Slipknot and Behemoth?

Re: Creepy Question
Hey, happy to answer your questions. They're lovely dogs who take up a lot of my life. As you asked this I was outside scrubbing one down for rolling in fox shit. Why she did this I just don't know, but clearly it held some appeal. As you might imagine they do take a lot of effort and have a large impact on my life. German shepherds are amazing dogs who really don't deserve a reputation for aggression. The young bitch is called Franny and is all black. I don't really train her much because she's sensitive to my expressions and my routine and listens carefully to my tone of voice. She won't even chase a rabbit if I don't let her. Nonetheless she is absolutely ball obsessed.She's bred for a full working day and you can feel it. I have yet to tire her out despite a routine of half hour walk in the morning, hour and a half walk at lunch, half hour run in the evening, and another half hour of fetch every day. Despite this she sticks to a reliable routine and is relatively peaceful, and very healthy. She isn't a massive impact on my life as I do enjoy walking as an exercise so that requirement just blends in with my own.

As for the husky the biggest thing with him is he can not ever be off leash. We need a six foot fence with concrete buried three foot into the ground. I cannot overemphasise how much work it takes to stop these guys from escaping. Despite this he's a calm and friendly creature who wants to make friends with everything. His escape attempts usually lead him to a set of nearby stables where he tries to play with our neighbour's ponies. He is a relatively active dog (he could happily walk for six hours) but he's also a calm personality who blends into the furniture. When he's not outside he's curled up by my feet for as long as I'm there. The biggest things to bear in mind for huskies is their need for daily walking, high fences, long and very powerful leashes, a deep well of patience for training (they love to pull) and a tolerance for dog hair because they moult like crazy.

Hope this overly long response helps answer your questions XD (sorry for rambling) ChristianWallis (talk) 18:28, September 29, 2016 (UTC)

Re:
Although I am an old geezer, I'm actually not old enough on the wiki to have experienced the article listing system you're referring to. Apparently users had to manually add the title of their story to a list rather than the automatic system we have now which adds them to the listing based on categories. I'm not sure if that's exactly right, but I think it's something along those lines.

And there certainly was more drama, even in my earlier days. I think the place was inundated by middle school aged users in the first couple years as the genre really took off, but their numbers have slowly dwindled as quality standards increased and nonsense became less tolerated. From what I can tell, by the time I got here it had calmed down drastically, but there was still much more drama than there is now. The chat had a lot to do with it, which I wish wasn't the case because I actually liked having it, but people simply wouldn't behave even halfway reasonably. The solid group of regulars helps keep everything calmer around here now. People are also starting to take this place and the genre more seriously now with people getting published and tv shows/films being made from some of the stories. I personally loathe drama, to the point I often won't even respond to it. And I don't even know what the word "reputation" means.

Re:
I wrote a blog about it explaining my reasoning. I really don't think it would be fair to be trying to figure out my next move, job hunt, look at education paths, actually write a story once in a while, etc. and neglecting my job here. I figured if I stepped down, it would give other possible admins an opportunity to step up. (If you look at the old deletion logs, I handled a majority of the deletions as I had notifications set up to buzz me on every new story and edit.) Maybe one day once I've found more solid ground for my feet, I'll think about re-applying, but as of now, I don't think it would be fair as I could go awol at anytime here for a few days or a week.

RE: How's it hanging
It's hanging low and to the left, lol.

I've been good, thanks for asking, buddy. Yeah, really busy.

The Halloween franchise?

Well, I think John Carpenter really tapped into something deep when he made the first film in 1978. The slasher bent on punishing sexually active teenagers. The opening sequence to that film is still incredibly powerful: the little boy in the clown costume, butchering his naked sister. Very Oedipal. I also love how we see it not only through his eyes, but literally through his mask. The fact that people are still talking about the film today definitely says something.

The music itself is so iconic and legendary. Really love that keyboard riff, so fucking spooky!

I recently read American Psycho author Brett Easton Ellis say that the third film--Season of the Witch--which has nothing to do with Micheal Myers, really freaked him out as a kid when all the snakes and spiders come out of the masks. I suppose nostalgia is an important part of the franchise.

Honestly, though, while I loved the slasher genre as a kid, today its lack of narrative complexity and character development don't sit well with me. Basically just campy and exploitative. Especially when compared to the earlier works of Wes Craven and other horror films from the seventies like The Omen and The Exorcist.

I loved the direction Rob Zombie took his remakes. So much deeper and more perplexing. Making Micheal Myers' mom a stripper was a genius move. While panned by fans and critics, I really loved his version of Halloween II.

What are your thoughts on the franchise?

Read any good books lately?

It's just me attempting to try and market my story a little better to be completely honest. The message I left on the showcase is more likely to get peoples attention over "Here is my new story I hope you like it" like most people say. Not to mention I also did it for the lolz.

And as for 10/10 ratings; I have so many stories I'd love to give a 10/10. Honestly I hate ratings, and I don't know why I began to use them, especially in writing. I do regret that decision if I am completely honest with myself. I think my reviews are pretty decent and that a number can detract from what my real comments were. When I began rating stories I done so from a critical point of view rather than a personal point of view. Think about IMDb for example. There are many movies that I'd give a 10/10, but the overall rating might only be an 8.4/10. I try to rate my stories from the harsh side because in reality nothing is perfect and nobody is going to write a story that will recieve all-round 10/10 and critical acclaim from every human being who comes across it. Plus, I think the 8.4/10 in a world where 9+ is near impossible is alot more meaningful than a 10/10.

Oh well... And I think you are right. I'm going to stop giving out ratings because, well, I don't like them. As you said alot of other people think the same way. In saying that, is there a story of yours you'd like a review on?

I actually listened to them quite a bit in college, but somehow they got filtered out. I'll definitely check out those songs you mentioned. Thanks again for the suggestions. Check out this song. I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

Re: Poor Buddy
I was aiming for sarcastic but you're right, on a re-read my frustration is certainly coming through. There's only so many times I can link someone to something. He even posted a blog not too long ago that said "I should probably read the rules" which means he's not operating under ignorance ChristianWallis (talk) 16:25, November 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ha that sounds interesting. I might try and dig that up later for a read. While I think it's interesting that we don't see a lot of LGBT characters I'd be tempted to put it down to the fact that  short stories can't develop full characters beyond stereotypes so unless a person's sexuality is essential to the plot there's no point elaborating on it. For all anyone knows the protagonist of Candle Cove is gay but unless it's %100 relevant to the plot why reveal it? It would just feel like tokenism which would draw it's own complaints. Also when I think about it I've read dozens of stories with non-hetero characters.


 * Anyway, I don't mind a bit of salt here and there. Like you said, copious amounts of alcohol will solve anything ChristianWallis (talk) 16:57, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
