*<font color= "green">'''DO'''</font> write satire. That's what Trollpastas are; satire of normal creepypastas. Writing satire will give a true meaning to Trollpastas.
*<font color= "green">'''DO'''</font> keep a good knowledge of categories. ThePutting amountcategories ofon uncategorizedyour pagesstory iswill staggering.help Puttingattract inpeople categoriesto will attract peopleit. The more categories you add, the more likely someone will read it. However, you need to understand how the many categories work. WeCheck haveout the [[Project:Genre Listing|GenreCategory ListingList]] forto help determine what categories should go on your thatpasta.
*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> think just because it's bad, it's funny. This is they key rule to writing a good trollpasta. If it's an unreadable mess of caps and EVIL PATRIXXX, it's not funny. YouIt's canbest maketo itavoid ALLwriting CAPS,these havetypes veryof bad grammarpastas, oras havethey EVILalmost PATRIXXX,always butwill don'tturn exaggerateout itbad. [[ZOMG IZ ZGARIEZED BAZDA LIGE 1337 H4X]] is a primary example of how not to obey this rule.
*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> plagiarize. IDon't thinkcopy it'san aexisting lotstory moreand importantonly thanchange thea abovefew rule,words butin ehit.

If you're gonna make a blatant ripofffactor, atbut least add some original content. For example, if youwe're gonna rip off [[Sonic.exe]],ve addstopped somein morerecent contentyears.

*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> make pastas that are essentially targeted harassment. While there are some not so good authors out there, especially in the Creepypasta sphere, we don't condone any harassment or hate directed towards them. Steer clear of writing stories that's main purpose is to bash someone. We're not about that.
*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> perform flamebait. Don't make a story just to bash something you don't like. That's basically begging for people to shout at you.
