Creepypasta Writing Rules

Thanks for stopping by! Please read these rules before writing a creepypasta here. Before writing one, it's recommended to read the other Important Articles to ensure you make a great creepypasta! For more general rules, see Rules.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these rules may result in your story being deleted. Please read the "Offenses" section below for more info.

This page will be expanded over time, so be sure to check regularly!

## Creepypasta Topics

* **This wiki is only for Object Show creepypastas.** Think shows like BFDI and Inanimate Insanity. If your creepypasta is about an unrelated show, we may remove it.
	+ There are certain exceptions to this rule. Stories about shows that are similar to object shows but aren't typically classified as those are allowed under certain conditions, like Shopkins.
* **On that note,** changing a pre-existing creepypasta to have Object Show characters in it to bypass the above rule isn't allowed. If your story is found to be a blatant copy of a well-known creepypasta, it will be deleted. No questions asked.
	+ However, this is only allowed if you wrote the original, and the original was never published.

## Writing Rules

* **PLEASE KEEP A COPY OF YOUR WORK.** We cannot stress this enough, please write your story in an external word processor like Google Docs before putting it here. That way, if the story gets deleted, you can have a backup copy to edit and remove the offending content. *We are not responsible for loss of your story.*
* **No reposts or ripoffs.** Following Rule 2 of Creepypasta Topics, if you make a story that is either a version of an already existing creepypasta with Object Show themes and characters or straight up copy-and-paste an unrelated creepypasta here, it will be deleted. This wiki is for original stories and original stories only.
* **Please use proper grammar.** If you write a story, please use proper grammar and writing styles. If English isn't your native language, that's okay! You can check with an Admin for feedback on your story or ask them to add proper grammar. You can also check the Proper Grammar for Stories page for tips.
* **Avoid using Overused Cliches as much as possible.**
* **Only English-language content is allowed.** For the comfort and eligibility for all of our users, this wiki is for English creepypastas only. If your pasta is in a language other than English, it may be deleted.

## Blacklisted Subjects

### Blacklisted Object Shows

*Although this wiki is about object show creepypastas, some object shows are not allowed to have stories on this wiki. Those shows are as follows:*

* **Object Terror.** This show is already heavily gory as it is, and a creepypasta about it would seem no different from the real show.
* **Object Redundancy.** This show is generally agreed to be very inappropriate and trashy by the OSC.

### Blacklisted Topics

* **Alphabet Lore, Number Lore** and such shows.
* **Numberblocks, Alphablocks, Colorblocks, Numberjacks** and similar shows.
* **Friday Night Funkin'.**
* **Learning With Pibby**-related stories will be immediately deleted, no exceptions whatsoever.

## When in doubt...
