For a month at least. And BTW, Creepypastas aren't humor at all, so... It ain't gonna help us heal. Humor makes people laugh, and they enjoy it. Creepypasta makes people feel freaked out... and they enjoy it. It's a very similar effect. One makes you laugh, the other makes you cringe, but they both are things people voluntarily subject themselves to because they like them. The author would get recognition for the story, just like every other author of every other story on the wiki, but I'm not seeing how that matters if no actual profit is made.

That being said, a memorial story would be nice, but I feel like that misses the point and isn't in the spirit of the wiki. Instead, I'd say a creepypasta about the event with a quick blurb at the beginning acknowledging the tragedy of the event, wishing the victim and her family well and stating that the following story is all in good fun would be a much more fitting way to touch on the subject without backing off or giving power to those that blame the wiki.
