There are over 10,000 pages on the Creepypasta Wiki, and probably about 9,000 of them (at least) are actual stories. It isn't hard to meet the quality standards for the Creepypasta Wiki. The rule against video-game pastas only exists because of the high influx of low qualiy, cliche stories that came onto the wiki as a result. Making an actual original, quality video-game pasta is not only difficult, but has to be exceptionally well-crafted as to avoid typical video-game Creepypasta tropes.

Most of the stories I have read on here have not come even close to avoiding normal cliches. Many of the stories on here I have found dull, poorly written, full of tropes, and more of the same.

I also think that a lot of the writers on here, rather than blaming the wiki for not accepting their pastas or calling the admins "too harsh", they could, say, improve their craft? I don't believe in a "perfect" story, and a writer can always learn more.

The admins are not monsters. If you ask them why they didn't like your story, they will give you honest feedback.

Also, MsFraidyCat, I recommend fixing the formatting on your "Stolen" story. Split up some of the huge text walls so that it isn't one long paragraph. That will make it a lot more accessible to the average reader.
