I don't think there's a fully-fledged guide for making a funny trollpasta. So I'll make one. Here's a full guide on what to do and what NOT to do when writing a Trollpasta. |
|||
*<font color= "green">'''DO'''</font> think of an original idea. This is the most obvious. Copying a pasta will likely have it removed. Think of something not many people have done. |
|||
*<font color= "green">'''DO'''</font> read other pastas for a general idea of what people like. Don't know whether or not your pasta is funny? Read generally loved pastas for a general idea of the wiki's sense of humor. |
|||
**However, <font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> use one joke as a reference. This will make your pastas get stale and most of them will get deleted, or at best, a ton of groans. |
|||
*<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. The amount of uncategorized pages is staggering. Putting in categories will attract people. The more categories you add, the more likely someone will read it. However, still understand how the many categories work. Don't add SMOKE WEED ERRYDAY if there isn't any drug references (And no, Tobacco, Alcohol and Snoop Dogg don't instantly apply to this category), and don't add YOU'RE NEXT when Cliche Madness is there. Also, if a story has a bunch of memes, don't add each individual meme. Add the "Memes" category. And if it has a bunch of characters, don't add each individual character. Add the "Loads of Characters" category. |
|||
*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> think just because it's bad, it's funny. This is THE KEY RULE to writing a good trollpasta. If it's an UNRIDBU MIS OF CPZ EN EVIL PATRIXXX, it's not funny. You can make it ALL CAPS, hav vury bed grammer, or have EVIL PATRIXXX, but don't exaggerate it. [[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. I think it's a lot more important than the above rule, but eh. Taking [[The Tale of Shrek]], replacing everything related to Shrek with... what say... Spy from TF2, and not doing anything else is not funny. If you're gonna make a blatant ripoff, at least add some original content. For example, if you're gonna rip off [[Sonic.exe]], add some more content. |
|||
*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> spam. This is why the One sentence category is generally frowned upon by the admins. Don't spit out short, unfunny and unoriginal pastas out at rapid speed. This is called Points Gaming, and is frowned upon globally. |
|||
*<font color= "red">'''DON'T'''</font> perform flamebait. Don't say something like "OMG BRONIES ARE DEMONS!", or "OMG MALES SHOULDN'T EXIST", or "OMG KILL EVERYONE WHO LICKS DOORKNOBS ON OTHER PLANETS!". That's basically begging for people to shout at you. It's also very rude. |

You can suggest other tips. I hope this guide was a help! See ya! |
