Note: I have previously asked admins for their criticisms on how to fix this list. It has been unsuccessful and considered "drama" so I've brought it here in hopes that this is an acceptable place for discussion.
As some people (mainly admins) may know, I recently tried to upload a list of my (previously highly praised) micropastas. I'll spare the lengthy details, but it was taken down because it contained pastas that had previously been deleted for not meeting the QS (with my belief that for the majority of them it was only due to the length).
Here is a copy of that list of pastas:
I Slit My Own Throat Once
I slit my own throat once, but only so I could crawl out of my host.
My Grotesque Nightmare
I once had a nightmare that I was grotesquely wrinkled and began having unbearable heart pain.
That was 70 years ago, and the wrinkles on my face are just as horrid as I remember.
A Buffering Movie
I sat down in front of my laptop and clicked play, resuming the horror movie as I put on my headphones. The spine-chilling scream forcing its way into my ears caught me off guard as I set down my bowl of popcorn.
Only then did I realize the video was still buffering.
A Wall Is Broken
I hopped into my time machine just minutes before Earth was engulfed by a black hole. I was in a hurry, so I crash landed only a couple days into the past.
A Third Batch
Mankind failed to pass it's creator's test, and as a result of it's selfish, greedy nature, was destroyed.
Only after all traces were gone did a new batch of humans get transported to Earth.
The third batch is already being made.
Grave Robbers
Last night I woke up to the sight of my mother standing next to my bed.
The fact that she's dead isn't what made me cry myself to sleep; it was all the recent reports of body snatching in my town that did the trick.
Best Friend's Suicide
There's nothing worse than your best friend committing suicide.
Well, except when police find the bloody knife stashed in your closet.
Life of Lies
When I was younger, I had a horrible argument with my parents and went to bed crying.
I had this nightmare that I was a patient in a psychiatric hospital, and my parents, whom I'd known my entire life, were actually just my caretakers.
It's been months, and I still haven't woken up.
(End of list)
I want to receive proper criticism on any/all of these stories so that I can improve this list enough for it to both A) count as a significant change and not as a reupload and B) meet the QS. I am willing to take out micropastas. I am willing to come up with and add in micropastas (so long as this has a proper chance). I will do whatever I can to get this list approved and uploaded because the challenge of making a good micropasta is one of my favorite parts of writing on this site.
