It was noticed that you recently posted a story in the form of a blog post, forum post, profile post, or talk page post. These places aren't the right location for this type of content.
Next time, please contribute it as a page instead. To do so, click the button at the upper right corner of the page labeled "Add New Page" and select "Submit a Story" from the dropdown menu. If you need any help with this, contact an Administrator for assistance.
Additionally, this wiki doesn't accept unfinished stories and given the difficulty of telling a 2nd person perspective story effectively and the mechanical issues I noticed, I would suggest using the writer's workshop before posting the finished version.

Spinoff
You are no longer allowed to post spinoffs, sequels, fanfics, or prequels of creepypastas/pasta monsters you didn't create directly onto this wiki.
We are also no longer allowing new posts on the subjects of Slenderman, The Rake, Sonic.exe, Tails Doll, .exe/haunted file stories, "haunted game" style pastas, B.O.B., Eyeless Jack, Squidward's Suicide/Red Mist, Suicide Mouse, Pokémon in general, Happy Appy, BEN, Cleverbot, Normal Porn for Normal People, Dogscape, Moon Face, The Russian Sleep Experiment, Abandoned By Disney, the Holders series, The Theater, anything to do with the SCP Foundation, Candle Cove, Dead Bart, Zalgo, Smiledog, Minecraft, Jeff the Killer (this includes Jeff-"inspired" stories or entities), Jane the Killer, Roblox, Team Fortress 2, or yet another My Little Pony grimdark fanfiction. If you wish to post these, please don't post them here. Read the rules for further info.
PS: You can't get around the rule by posting spinoffs (that is, the actual content, not offsite links) as blog posts, on the forums, or on your own talk page or userpage. The next time you post on the above subjects, you will receive a one-day ban.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUPLOAD YOUR PASTA. If you upload it again without admin authorization, you'll receive a 1-day ban from editing, as per the rules.
If you feel a story you wrote on the above subjects MUST be included on the wiki, try using Spinoff Appeal.
Additionally, there widespread capitalization (mis-capitalization of dialogue tags), punctuation (punctuation missing from dialogue/sentences), and redundancies present in the plot which would also need revision. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 16:47, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Deus Ex Machina
Forgive my intrusion, but I came across this video and thought you might find it helpful with your writing. It's about what a deus ex machina is and how to avoid it. Your stories have both made use of numerous dei ex machina, so I hope this will help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoR-mc3EQ2I.

What New Story?
I literally don't know what you're talking about. If you wrote a new story, great. Good for you. You're not entitled to feedback from a specific person. You could always ask for it maturely, but it's always someone's choice whether they read your story or not. In this case, I didn't see your new story, so how could I have even read it much less given you feedback?
You need to familiarize yourself with this site and how it works. Your message could have been sent to my talk page instead of the comments section for a completely unrelated story.

Here's the thing: it's unfortunate that you've been in a bad mood lately, but the only one responsible for and ultimately interested in that is you. No one else deserves to be on the receiving end of it, so find a more constructive way to deal with what you're feeling. Incidentally, writing is great for that.
Secondly, as I said, if you want feedback, you are always welcome to message people and ask for it. But then, of course, they are not required to like what you wrote, so you're opening yourself up to whatever they say. In addition, you can post your story in the Writer's Showcase and it will appear on the front page. That's another great way to get exposure.
I think your heart is in the right place, but you need patience. Take some time to just explore the site and learn how it works. Ask questions. Read other stories. Relax. Learn to be here for the sake of being here. Write for the sake of writing. Enjoy yourself.

Writer's Showcase
It looks like you've done it successfully twice now, but in case you're still a little unsure, visit https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Writers%27_Showcase to get to the Writer's Showcase. About halfway down the page, you'll see a text box with an "Add new showcase" button beneath it. Type your story title into the box and hit "Add new showcase." From there, just fill in whatever the code is asking for: your title, your username, and a brief tagline for the story. That should be all you need to do. Sometimes it takes a few refreshes for your story to actually appear on the front page.

There were quite a lot of issues present here with awkward wording, spelling, and plot (mainly concerning the story's pacing, relatively weak descriptions, and over-reliance on tropes) which resulted in your story not meeting our quality standards. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 19:08, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

The story needed quite a bit of work explaining the premise, creating a scary scenario from said premise, and effectively telling/describing the events. As it currently stands, the story has pacing, descriptive, and plot holes that resulted in it not meeting our quality standards. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 07:30, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

The issues present in "A Drink at the Bar" were discussed in the comments and the issues are reflected in what I've written above. As such, your story has been deleted for not meeting our quality standards. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 08:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
