I've been recieving frequent messages on my wall after the 400-page deletion spree of the fact that so-and-so lost their pasta because I deleted it. They say I should've given them a heads up, but over 400 pages were deleted, so it would be impractical to do so.

'This part of the post is important. '

If you don't want your pasta lost or deleted, please archive it using the following tools:

1. A flash drive. If you don't want to store it on one PC or constantly move about, you could take your pasta with you if you put it on a flash drive. You can edit it at any time by putting the flash drive in your laptop/computer.

2. Your own, personal sandbox.

Much like the SCP Wikidot site, you could create your own wiki to write/edit/archive your pasta, then inform others of the page on this wiki to review it before posting it. This makes sure you can both keep the formatting and add images to the pasta with FANDOM's tools.

3. On your own pc. You could also simply keep it on your computer, with multiple copies in a folder you can easily discover. Most text files range from 5kb - 10/15mb, so even on crap PCs/Laptops you can store your pasta easily. Add formatting or images later.

4. Upload it to a 3rd-party cloud. If you're worried about losing your data on your PC or you flash drive breaking, then keep your pasta on Google Drive, which uploads your pasta to the cloud for later usage. You could also use your iPhone's Notes app and upload that to Apple's cloud. Or, use Word to keep it on your phone instead of your PC/Laptop.

5. Keep it in your Notes on your iPhone.

If you can't/don't have access to your PC/Laptop then it is best to write your pasta in Notes or on the app store's Word. You can also go into your iPhone's folders and save it there.

6. Keep a draft or exact physical copy on paper in a safe place. Print out or write down your pasta on a piece of paper, then store it in a drawer or other area where you can easily find it. Notebooks also work.

7. Do all of the above.

If you're REALLY paranoid about losing your pasta, then do all of the above steps and make sure to update your pasta on as many of these methods as possible.

P.S: You could also upload an exact copy of your creepypasta (txt/word/word alternative file) to MediaFire or Mega for safe keeping.
