I think this wiki should be just like Creepypasta Wiki itself, but with spin-offs, well, mostly about spin-offs (but you can still make your own stories here, obviously) but it will be spin-offs about GOOD pastas, like that one pasta that I heard that it's preety good, The Russian Sleep Experiment, and etc.

Now, I have some subjects here that are also filled with cliches and maybe should be banned.


 * Jeff-Inspired (I don't mean Jeff the Killer himself, I mean those pastas where they put their own name followed by "The Killer", for example: "Duck The Killer")


 * File Extensions (Do I need to say anything more?)


 * Ben Drowned (Ben was actually forgotten by everyone, but I still think it should be banned)

I didn't memorize the blacklisted subjects, so some of these three (if not all the three subjects) are already banned... That's hardly fair. You can't ban an entire genre of creepypastas just because a majority of them are poorly-written. By that logic, this site shouldn't exist because the vast majority of creepypastas are terrible works of literature. The target here is cliches and bad writing--not the topics which these things happen by chance to occur the most in. And I don't know that even that's true; I think you're projecting your personal tastes on this whole affair.

Video game creepypastas are the only ones I'm personally interested in. File extensions (good ones, mind you) in particular are my favorite, and I don't hate lost episode ones either (though they are getting to be overdone). What I do think are terrible and will never read are spin-offs of original creepypastas. I come here for spin-offs of licensed works, not things which were already creepypastas to begin with. That's just my taste, though, and people are free to write creepypasta spin-off stories all they like.

We should attack lazy writing/lack of creativity in all fields equally, not ban topics. Frankly, I don't agree with Sonic.exe being banned. I only first came here because this is the place where topics banned on Creepypasta go.
