User blog comment:StrangerThanTad/What happened to Slimebeast's pastas?/@comment-26030957-20170930162034

Whoa. I'm going to chime in, but should probably state for the record that I'm just a lowly writer, not a mod, admin, rollbacker, or whatever other designations this wiki bestows. But I honestly think everyone here is extremely fair. It's only natural that a few administrators who also happen to be prolific and well known pasta writers get featured. I've never felt anyone was using their status to promote themselves or others.

Admins promoting each other's books? The only admin I know with a book is Empy, I haven't seen anyone really promoting it besides myself, and like I said, I'm no admin. I'd do it for any book I found worthy, and it had nothing to do with him being an admin.

Besides this community, I'm also involved in many others. I'm a member of the Horror Writers Association, and active in tons of sites, like LitReactor and Alone With the Horrors, we all promote each other's work if we deem it worthy. Stephen King regularly promotes other horror writers, like Paul Tremblay and Emily Schultz. I don't think he's playing favorites or hoping to get promoted by them. It's what writers do, network, connect, be good members of the horror community.

Many of my pastas will be featured in a collection of short stories coming out in the spring. I wrote all my pastas for this site, and will therefore leave them here, as this is where they were first published. Furthermore, I will credit this wiki as having previously published them in the beginning of the book, just like you would do with any publication that first featured your work.

This is a fabulous place for amature writers to get a start, receive feedback, and launch their careers. It will always have a place in my heart.
