Re:
Thanks for the information. And when you post your pasta on the writers workshop, I saw to places where you can write. Is that where you write the title and the pasta?

LegoMaster2149 (talk) 21:59, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I have posted my story in the workshop, where I will wait for a bit. :)

LegoMaster2149 (talk) 00:13, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

I posted my pasta, but do I have to wait until my pasta is accepted so I can edit it?

RE Redirects
By 'older page' do you mean one that's not been created on the day (or how long)? And is it fairly uncommon for the box to be ticked? (Because when I saw other rollbackers naming things, there were often redirects left behind, so I just assumed that box was supposed to be checked automatically - there was little thinking behind it.)

RE:
Sorry. Forgive me for my selfish attitude towards the contest. I'm honestly and truthfully asking for forgivance.

Anyway, seems like you have a point. Okay, you won, I lost, so let's just get this straight.

For my own namesake, I'll create the blogs, and I'll be one of the judges. I guess it doesn't make sense if I'm not involved with the contest I proposed, does it? I'll post the main contest blog as soon as I get the signal, and I'll also deal with the winner's blog and People's Choice blog. You just be the judge, nothing more, nothing less.

I think we've just sealed a deal.

 Ruckus Q uantum   15:13, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

Agreed
Yeah, I have no problem with the contest itself, but it falls on them to propose, promote and judge it. I can't pledge myself to something that I didn't come up with in the first place, and since they would expect us to judge and run the contest, it wouldn't be fair to those that entered.

I think they need to go back to the drawing board and come back with a proper proposal and start over, once they are ready to run the contest themselves.

Banningk1979 (talk) 17:06, August 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Seems both of you had agreed to let the contest go on. Shall I ready the blog (no this looks so wrong; how about Rinskuro? I believe there's anothet contest going on)? Again, my dearest apologies for the minor mishap. We shall move on.


 * But who would judge the pastas? Me, Jay (are you willing?), and you? I think three judges are enough, since we'll just judge 15 pastas, which means five pastas for each of us. What do you guys think?


 *  Ruckus Q uantum   17:33, August 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I agree with you. I think it will be the best choice to prohibit NSFW elements, since it was one of the rewards. I'm somehow concerned with the b'crats who will read and inpsect pasta submissions. Do you know anyone good at that job?

Hey
Hey, I just dropped by to say a few things:


 * 1) Thank you very much for the supportive comment you left on my blog there a few weeks back, it was really great of you.
 * 2) You mentioned as well that you would like to read one of my stories sometime. Well I have a new one up now, it's called An Illegal Investigation of Ballintully Springs, and as much as I hate to ask this, it would be great to get some feedback on it.
 * 3) I would be more than happy to read one of your stories and give some feedback on it. Just drop me a message on my Talk Page with the link to the page and I'll get on it as soon as I can.

Peace. - crashingcymbal  (talk) Tumblr_mghs3ijNG91ru4q7qo1_500.png 01:21, August 16, 2015 (UTC)

Why did you delete my story ? It was even true. I'm not even lying. This was true and it wasn't even handled that poorly. But why do I even try ? Well how I said in the story I don't care if you think is not real. But I still going to say that my story is true wheter you like it or not.

Hi im sorry! i didnt mean to put an unfinished page i was still writing but i went to get back on the page and it logged me out so i just was gonna edit it and when i went back it was deleted...:( do u mind if i try to write something else?

i submit things unfinished so i can go back and edit it instead of constantly keeping a page open due to the fact that i need to be able to work and do schooly stuff and not have tabs i dont need open so i dont accidently open something i dont need....Thanks for your time! :)

HELP AND HI!
Hi Jay..i saw that you deleted my story i was kind of sad but i understand why you did it.

I was planning on finishing it but i dont know how to save it without posting so i was just going to save it and go back in and edit it as i got ideas. The only way i know how to not to post is leaving a tab open but i cant really do that cause i usually have a ton of tabs open for school...by any chance would i be able to get my story beack?

Thanks for your time,

Re:
I saw your message and I do hope you realise that alot of that was from around a year and a half ago. Also that the stuff that happened in my first and third story actually happened.

The slenderman story happened because of lack of sleep so I was seeing things.

And The Darkness within was actually 100% true. It was something I randomly saw during the middle of the night.

But at your request I will stop with these types of comments because you asked nicely.

Thank you for pointing this out and letting me know instead of just immediately punishing me (which happened once because of a separate reason) So I'll do what you ask respecfully

Ok so I've followed all the admin's advice and I think all the punctuation is solved and all, i also added more to the story so the part where they get to the ranger station didn't just fall flat. Could you please read it and tell me should I put it forward to the deletion appeal because if i put it up again I want it to be the best it can and have the best chances of being put back up.

JS
Hey, just to let you know, you've got an extra comma in your common.js which could be causing errors - just after the 'u:dev:DisplayClock/code.js'. You might want to remove that, I can't because the security issues have disabled the editing of other's JS :)

Hello, I am Acelynn. I was curious if the stories HAD to be creepypastas, Because I am generally a fantastic writer (so I was told) of Horror stories. I was wondering if I would be able to post one named: "Aggie"Acelynn666 (talk) 02:13, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

RE: God
I thought that the word "god" was capitalized only when it refers to a religious god (like the Biblical God). When it is used generally, without pointing to a specific deity, I see it written in lowercase.

I don't think there's a right or wrong in this, so it should be left up to the writer. That's my opinion at least. MrDupin (talk) 20:46, September 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't really understand how it doesn't make sense otherwise. With uppercase one usually refers to the biblical god (as SP's link says), but I personally never refer to that god. Why should I write it in uppercase? I'm using it as a noun, not a name. Writing uppercase is like writing "Oh my Beard!" There's no reason for that, unless I'm missing something obvious.


 * Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Have a nice day. MrDupin (talk) 21:52, September 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have done a bit more research, and it seems that most guides agree with you. And I guess I can understand that the phrase has some historical context too. So, even though I'm still not 100% convinced, I'll be following your pointers in the future. Thanks for taking the time to clear that up, I appreciate it.

Contest
Ruckus has not been active on the wiki since the 28th. The judging period for the contest has came, and it has gone. If Ruckus is not back by this Friday (the 18th) I would happily take his place in reviewing the entries, grading them, and selecting a winning story. Of course, my own entry Tabula Rasa, would be disqualified immediately, as that would be bias to even attempt.

It would still be up to Ruckus to create the rewards and the like (or another source, the Highlighted pasta for 1st place obviously would still be able to be done without Ruckus), but I believe to many people have entered their stories for the contest to be abandoned. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 03:19, September 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * University doesn't start till the first week of October, so if Ruckus doesn't come back, I think it would be better if I took over instead of Shawn (so his pasta isn't disqualified). MrDupin (talk) 15:20, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I got a message saying that I violated the categories rules (I added one too many) and I wanted to fix it. How do I edit the categories I've added to my story?

Thank you!!!

Thank you for the review
Hey Jay,

I was reading your review and I appreciate your honest feedback. This was somewhat new territory for me, as I decided to step away from dark fantasy styled stories and try something with a more contemporary, real world feel to it. Hence my decision to go with real life events, modified into a story to fit the horror genre.

I sort of went into it knowing that it might rub some folks the wrong way, depending on their personal political views, however, as I have explained to another user, the intent was never to create a political agenda or use this site as a soap-box. All of the views were designed to be those of the characters, and since they were written to be very idealistic, it seemed natural that they would express their views strongly.

I really wanted this to be a "smart" pasta that went in a direction that I feel is a bit untapped on this site, and that is, of course, using "ripped from the headlines" type story telling.

The conversation between the father and daughter was supposed to showcase their close bond, and that she was very much a "daddy's girl" at heart, despite the fact that she is in high school. I don't have a teenage daughter, so that type of dialogue was also fairly new territory for me.

Personally, I was very pleased with the final result, though, as I stated above, I can understand how some folks might see it as an attempt to make a political statement. Anyone who knows me though should understand that I would never use this site for any such reasons, as there are plenty of political forums all over the internet that would be far better choices to make such a statement.

Either way, just figured I would write you personally and sort of explain that. It was a bit of a new area for me to explore, but personally, I am glad that I took the plunge, as I did enjoy it and feel that it is a quality piece that goes in new directions here.

As always, thank you for reading my work,

Banningk1979 (talk) 22:08, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

Shit!
I'm so sorry for not being around during the contest, bruh. I'm sorry for the uncanny delay of this message; maybe you know I'm still a student, right? Got too busy writing articles for our school newspaper and proofreading my upcoming stories and things like these. Days had been so stiff.

Anyway, no need to worry. I had been reading the submitted pastas for... what, a week now, and so far I'm still not done rereading them. I decided to judge this alone, since it's not too many. I might announce the winners the next day or two.

TL;DR I'm busy doing school, so I wasn't able to reply earlier; I'd been judging these pastas.

Oh Jeff stuff
Hey Jay,

If you get a chance, check out my blog, Jeff the Killer Re-Write Idea and let me know your thoughts. It's picking up a lot of steam, andI think it would be great for the Sept-Oct contest. Lot's of people have already shown their support, as I think this would be a fun contest for everyone. Nothing is official, but once we get all the admin support, I would like to start workshopping the official proposal, and I already pretty much have an outline.

Talk soon,

Jeff the killer
Glad to see someone has their head screwed on right. This contest is just going to give more attention to that stupid story. It's fucking embarassing is what it is. I really don't want to write on a site that is so affiliated with that story, even a re-write is just going to make everyone go back and read it and make people outside the community think of it as a representation of what creepypasta is. Is this what we want? For people to think of this story when they think of creepypasta? I was really hoping we were going to better the concept of creepypasta, elevate it to a real art form, not mire in the muck of the past. I'm sure you read Bukowski, remember when he strolls into the bar, walks up to his woman and smacks her right in the face, and then says, "I tried to make a woman out of you, but you are nothing but a whore." Then he looks around at all the patrons and asks, "Anybody got a problem with that?" That's what I feel like doing to this wiki right now. lol.
