Congratulations.

Workshop is not a mandatory thing, you can upload it whenever you like. The thing is, if you are uploading it without the workshop its entirely on you if there are basic grammar issues (spelling, punctuation, tense verb agreements, etc).

I can try to review your story sometime tonight or tomorrow if you wish.

Again, you need to perform a Spinoff Appeal to upload a page like that. It will get deleted instantly if you do it anyway.

I thought I saw @HopelessNightOwl updating the new pages a while ago so it might be a temporary writer showcase sort of archive. I’ll ask em.

If it's something widely discussed here or in fandom circles, avoid it usually.

It's just a picture, it can't hurt you. In fact, the more you look at it, the more you can see how badly edited it is.

@HideyHole I've rollbacked your draft to the previous version which is readable. I'll try to come back later and leave feedback.

Edit: The issue was a > in front of your draft which caused the format to get messed up.

"They started it" is not a good justification for propagating drama. If you want to resolve drama, do it on talk pages or contact staff about it and ask for help. If there's a problematic post, click the three dots and hit report.

Yeah, unfortunately staff has been struggling all over with the new renovations. I could potentially take a look over the drafts, I've just been busy with new rollback obligations, personal life/work, etc.

@Zawmano13 I take breaks from whatever I'm doing and try something else for a bit. Take a walk, draw something, play video games for a few hours, even eating some fresh, healthier foods like fruit or whatever. Sometimes you need to manually refresh your brain and wait it out while new ideas come to you.

Every slenderman image is in fact a photoshop. Its pretty nuts actually, that those pictures managed to survive cultural scrutiny for so long

I don’t visit any spinoff creepypasta sites. But as far as I’m aware, barely anyone responds to those polls before they get locked so I couldn’t tell you what the results were.

Its less about the content and more about the format. Discussions is treated as an extension of the main site, so low quality posts/repetition of the same format is the primary target of rules. The posts are there, they just get posted at specific times of the day (mostly afterschool hours).

Edit: I can definitely say I’ve seen JtK vs Toymaker at least a few times.

It’s analogous to spam I suppose. The discussions are already flooded with so many “who would win” “would you rather” “X vs Y” posts a lot of them get buried underneath eachother. They don’t really contribute anything constructive is another reason

Well, someone recently uploaded a roughly 100k kilobyte pasta to the site and technically it’s still QS. Size usually doesn’t matter but posting in parts is usually the best option for any longer story draft.

@Sara Olsen A lot of my work is taken from tiny things that I linger on throughout the day. “What if I woke up in deep space, what if I was on a plane and Godzilla shot a laser at it”, etc. Some of my work is inspired by nightmares and heavily lean on the visual/tactile aspect of the scenario, so I go out of my way to describe everything in a way that makes sense for the reader to experience, even if its abstract in nature.

All the time. The imagination is a wonderful tool for writing and art.
