User blog comment:Jay ten/Should we correct people when they say a story is real? Opinions wanted./@comment-4993676-20141106164452

Okay here's my opinion on the matter.

It's the responsibility of the author to not say that something is real when it's fictional. Everyone on this site should know all works are fictional, because it's already plastered everywhere. With that in mind, what the hell is the point of saying "this is real" in a story? Saying that to begin with, within a CREEPYPASTA (defined as a FICTIONAL short horror story), on a CREEPYPASTA WIKI, automatically reminds most people of normal intelligence that this is a fake story and ruins the experience. It's horrible writing to say something like that, and I think that any stories that do should be removed from this site.

I think I was on topic with that. If you just mean people going around catching people who read normal stories (who never claim they are real) and bring up that they think it's real, then no. There's absolutely no point. Like I said, the fact that these works are fictional is already plastered everywhere. Those stupid people who ignore that fact and continue thinking something is real should be banned.
