Hmm... I may have been Mike...

I don't remember reading about a pasta that had a floating N64 killing people, but then again, I've reviewed so many stories now that I might have forgotten. If it was me, well, honestly I can't say I'm incredibly sorry. If you thought that a story about blank cartridges and an N64 stabbing people with wires was a good idea, than there is something seriously wrong with your creepypasta mindset. Then again, I partially am sorry, if I in fact was "Mike", because unless you are a recurring offender and someone who disregards all advice given like another writer who recently left, than I never want to stray away a new writer from writing. Take harsh critiques as stepping stones to make yourself a better writer in the future. Sure, I never really had to deal with incredibly harsh reviews, but my earlier pastas really weren't anything special, and it's funny because even after nearly 2 years of my first pasta being posted, I still get crap for how bad it was! I just laugh along knowing that I made a mistake in the past, and that I can improve on it in the future, so you should do the same.

Take your reviews in stride, and if you want a definitive list of all of the cliches in your pasta, if you don't know them, read the New Writer Guidelines like Bree recommended, as that page has a list of some of the more noticeable cliches, and is regularly updated if any are forgotten. Also, it will tell you all that you need to know about the art of creepypasta. If you ever need reassurance on whether you should post a pasta or not, message me and I'll tell you if it is of quality or not. I won't edit the pasta for you, but I will be able to tell you if it will get good or bad reception when posted. Then again, that's all your decision, and I feel as though you should try writing a bit more by yourself before you ask for help. Anyways, if I was "Mike", like I most likely was, given the fact that "ALL OF THE CLICHES" is a line I use a lot, than I am partially sorry for my critique. Just think about what you're writing before you post.
