From Create Your Own Story

Hello.

To get spacing between sentences lines, you do not need to add <br>. Just make sure there is an extra line between the two lines, so, just hit enter twice.

See, it helps properly space. --Dirty Me 03:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Please make sure to include the title of the story as a category on each page you post. If you don't know how to add categories, please review the Tutorial, especially Basic page format.--Platypus 11:20, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

What does "writing branches" have to do with adding category? And, the front page shows both the Rules and the Tutorial, so not sure why it matters if someone is new or not... --Dirty Me 03:45, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Uh... What she said. I expect that however many or however few pages you post, each one will include the title of the story as a category. --Platypus 11:20, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

You can ask me anything you like on my talk page. It isn't private, but I don't believe there should be any need for privacy here. --Platypus 13:58, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Do not add things like "pink dildo" to the status template example. That is a template for everyone on this site, to see how to create one, not one for your use. It has been removed. --Dirty Me 11:44, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

I have been there, tried that. Glad I did not succeed in committing suicide, since I am happy with my life now. If I had succeeded I would never have made it to this place, at this time, and I would have hurt everyone who does love me. Honestly, now I sort of feel it is rather selfish. I mean, have you ever thought about what happens after? --Dirty Me 11:37, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that. You didn't break anything, did you? If so, you should probably splint it and see the doctor. As for the black eye, ice, and remember to half heartily chuckle when people ask what happened and you tell them "I got in a fight with a tree. You should see the tree." --Dirty Me 12:07, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Or, if you really want, you can do like my mom always recommended. "Why do you have a black eye?" "I didn't like the way it looked at me in the mirror, so I bit it." --Dirty Me 12:08, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

I just turned 24 this month. --Dirty Me 13:12, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't technically have abandoned stories, you can always try the Pit of Abandoned Stories though. If you know good pranks, you could always help with Prank War. Sadly, I am not the prank type of person. I recommend reading what I have to figure out how the loops work, and please remember to keep it PG-13. So no naughty pranks. Cruel pranks are fine as long as you keep it in the PG category. And don't add alot of pranks to one person and ignore the other person. If your grammar isn't perfect, no worries, just let me know (if I do not see it in the recent changes) and I can go in and tidy it up. I would love to see more pranks, but like I said, not something I am as great at. Unfortunately, the other stories I have not worked on much are either adult (If you are half my age, then you cannot really contribute to them. Sorry, I don't want to know if you are reading adult stories as a minor. Don't tell me, and don't edit my adult stories so I wouldn't know) or they would be hard unless you understand things about HTML or know how to speak Chinese. --Dirty Me 12:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Umm, you shouldn't start a story on your talk page...

And, you did not add category to your I am male page. You need to include your category. Remember the warning you got about it. After 3 warnings, Platypus will ban you, so you need to go edit it and include it. Remember to go through the Tutorial about it if you don't remember how. --Dirty Me 04:07, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

A damn story? A story about a dam?

"I sit here most days, just holding in the water. Sometimes the operators let me relieve myself, water flowing from my spout, and other days they make me hold it, sometimes for months at a time. Then the crack was noticed. The operators panicked, because below me was a sizable city. If the crack grew larger, if I started to break apart, the city would be flooded, lives would be lost, and people would cry. I didn't want people to cry, but I did not know what to do. I could not do anything by myself, but had to rely on the humans."

A dam story! Great idea, to tell a story from the perspective of the dam, maybe include human perspective as they struggle to try to keep the dam from breaking and washing away the city. You can even include beavers!

Or, you meant something else...

In which case, you are aware that it doesn't matter if you just started a story. When you create a new story, first thing you should do is put the category. The page should never be saved without it. I try to just remind people about that before the system admin finds it, since after three warnings, the person will be banned. But, if you prefer me to just give you an official warning, making it the second one, then I can do that instead. I guess it is up to you...

Next up: The ban story! --Dirty Me 05:49, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

If you're going to treat this site as your personal joke, you will get banned. If you actually want to write a story, read the tutorial. Do it right. Your story can be as goofy or comedic as you like. You can write the adventures of a pink dildo if you're so enchanted with pink dildos. But you can't start a story on your talk page, and deliberately posting an uncategorized page that you know is crosslinked with other stories isn't funny. --Platypus 11:20, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

The only way for you to hide a story is by not posting it until it is ready. You can declare a story to be private, but that only means that you don't want anyone else to add to or edit it. You can't keep people from reading it. If you want to post a story on this site, you must follow the site rules. If you refuse to follow site rules, you will be banned. This means that all stories must have a title and that title must appear as a category on every page. No exceptions. --Platypus 15:10, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Well that was pretty dumb.
