Hey there!
And of course you can post to the wiki, just be sure to read up on the related pages for the rules/guidelines before uploading any stories/OCs in the near future.
I've noticed the capabilities of AI tools as of recent and wished to make an update to the page creation guidelines for the site. This will take into effect from the the 5th of July from this announcement's date.
Please be sure to ask any important questions in this thread if necessary and I will respond as quickly as I can. Any suggestions/recommendations can also be made here to see if they might be helpful to the vast majority in the near future.
Creepypasta Files Wiki - Page Guidelines
"Maybe someone could rewrite the story because I've got nothing else to say"
...But you just advertised this piece on the discussions page recently and just made the page, I'm confused 😂 This is your work man, you should be writing these entries to the site more or less, not the audience.
If you want to contribute to the wiki with a better idea in mind, I'd be more than welcome to give a quick review and such. However, you've got to care about the work you make on here to want to improve on what you produce. I did pick up on the fact that you might have been trying to subtly outsource from the audience viewing your content with lines such as:
"The Characters' motives such as Amy's motive to kill Sonic aren't fully explained in Zeke's story but the fans can make their own theories."
"Not found here. But fanarts would do."
It's a bit odd you've gone from really confident to now no longer interested in the project. And, this is your first contribution here.
In all fairness, if the "early version" is nothing like the final product and would grant the game a "R18" mature label...Sega wouldn't allow that for pretty fair reasons.
1. Limited Audience - Sega managed to market Sonic and his games to a wide range of people across the world. So, to imagine them taking inspiration from Outlast, Saw and Manhunt (one of which actually being banned in Australia last I read) is...unhinged and unnecessary. If they have a good thing going, why tamper with their usual workflow for the sake of being edgy? Shadow the Hedgehog filled that slot just fine and that was relatively handled well enough since he essentially has his own community of fans himself.
2. Limited Money - Short but simple: Sega would lose their financial status if they tipped into this section out of the blue for no reason. You can't exactly say "The Murder of Sonic" could involve random graphic scenes of torture/violence, potential sexual violence as well as hints of other 18+ related material and market that to 13 year olds or older. They would lose a significant amount of money if they released such a graphic copy of this game to a random gaming platform.
3. Lawsuits Incoming - As mentioned in both points before, Sonic is often enjoyed by people with a variety of games. But, most games are seemingly marketed for both children and adults to enjoy. Seeing basically Outlast, Saw and Manhunt being used in this "totally legit copy" would likely cause whoever made it to suffer lawsuit after lawsuit given the fact that would essentially be plagiarism (if the creator tried to take full ownership of the game, contents and all).
Not only this but Sega essentially would be tagged about the creation at some stage, check out the game itself and likely strike the creator with a cease and desist for trying to ruin their mascot's reputation (similar to the SML lawsuit with Nintendo).
The "bootleg" seems more like a reason to hype up gore and/or graphic scenes in general rather than be an established Creepypasta. I mean...come on, it's Sonic the Hedgehog. I get that Shadow has a gun, Maria was killed as a child and some characters do have pretty striking deaths but referring to Outlast for this game? It's a bit excessive, even for Sega.
Jesus, I'm sorry to hear that, hope you recovered well in the meantime-
Seriously, don't worry at all about the writing, your health comes first before any projects on here
It's no worries! If using the Visual Editor, there's a option on the toolbar for templates. You can use the following for different parts of the information:
Quote - Self-explanatory but used often for more visually-based quotations at the top of the page.
Creepypasta - An old template I revamped slightly to include more optional information about the character, including criminal history and/or biological facts (e.g. family members, visual descriptions, etc).
If using the Source Editor, placing down {{Quote}} or {{Creepypasta}} will showcase the template for you in Visual Editor to edit instead.
You can browse the option for other templates but these are the most common two for most pages on the site. I don't mind editing the page for you though if you're still struggling.
Of course, there's no worries if that's all you need as of now.
I can send a Google Doc over with a few things if you're alright with that. I'll put it as a separate message on your Message Wall so it'll be easier to track progress
It's alright, if you weren't too aware of the changes, it isn't your fault for the plot-holes. If you ever need someone to help with writing, I could always try to offer an interpretation for the characters' descriptions and drafts for the narrative if you need them
I don't mind trying to write a few scenes for you to review/inspect as well, it's up to you though
Np, the quotes have been removed, hope this helps
Sorry for the late review, it should be posted in the comments to the page if you have the time to look it over.
Np, is it just the three quotes on the top of the page?
I'd have to review it when I get the time to later on in the week if that's alright.
Sorry for not seeing the message sooner, that was my fault.
I'll gladly restore the page so you can make the edits to it, it's been a while so don't worry too much about the quality beforehand (it was about 4-5 years ago by now). If you weren't made aware, or there wasn't a review in the comments, that was likely our fault as it should have been made clear on your Message Wall or the page's comments.
Hope this helps 👍
If on mobile, you could try to find the view it like you're using a PC using "Request desktop view". Maybe that might make it easier to navigate things.
I can remove the text if you wish for the mean-time if it's still bugged.
Anything more natural to a baker's attire would be ideal but feel free to explore with more vibrant colours instead if that's what you prefer
I love it personally! Sorry about the late response, college and whatnot.
She looks so charming, so it's nice to see it done well for her disguised look. If it's alright and not too much trouble, could you add a bit of a candy-like effect on her current sketch design (like her hair curling together like liquorice or her skin having small swirls)? It'd be great to have subtle hints she's not quite human since it links to her origins.
And for the pink shade, something like #ff00bd (use this site if it helps) would be nice. However, combinations of red, white and even green wouldn't be a bit fit either if you want to explore with those colours.
But if that's not available, just go with whatever works for you. I ain't too fussed and I don't think the other owner to the OC would be either (since the original image was taken from Google Images).
Thxs so much!
And peppermint ring was in relation to the original image associated with the page, which was just a small ring on her finger with a peppermint-like charm attached instead of any gem/jewel. It can be the traditional white and red but if you wanna do your own take, feel free to do so! 👍
The most ideal outfit for her would be similar to a baker since that suits her occupation if that's alright, I don't want to overwork you with frilly dresses or anything too crazy for a first sketch to her design.
Don't worry, this isn't against the rules so no worries 👍 It'd just be warned about/deleted if you made a page about this is all
If it is alright, and considering I don't draw much myself tbh, would it be alright to try and make a quick sketch of an OC I helped make a while back called "Krazy Kandi"?
The old image was a bit much for what it was at the time. That and I couldn't find who originally created it so even more reason for it to get a revamp. So, having a new reference image for her would be great.
No pressure if you can't though, just a suggestion if you've got the time to look it over
It's all good lol, just had a few weirdos who act proper funny sometimes (both in the past and recently) with things like that
I kinda assumed you were just curious in the end and thought to ask in general so no harm there. I don't really enjoy too many gore-filled stories (kinda just like the classic urban legend approaches best), there's only one or two that are pretty interesting to me (like the Daddy Dearest Tapes).
I haven't read it in quite some time but it was a weird breath of something different from what I usually read (likely why I actually did grow to like it the way I did).
Pretty...strange that this is one of your first posts ngl
