What's On This Site?
Lots of stuff! Simply choose any of the links above to begin looking around. The links are as follows:
- Original Fiction is the spot for all of my original stories. If you're looking for Fanfiction, it's located as a subpage under this one.
- Poetry is just the page for you if you like original poetry. If you're looking for Fanpoetry, it's located as a subpage under this one.
- About presents an overview of who I am and what Sugary Snicket Productions is all about.
- Musings 2.0 is the name of my blog here at WordFlow. There's unfortunately no archive to older material, as that was lost when Webs.com shut my old website down.
- Legal Information provides just what it says on the tin - legal information about what is and is not mine, what belongs to whom if I am borrowing it for a fanfic, and copyright information for stories and poems that are of my own creation. Please read it if you have any questions about whether my stories are infringing on another's copyright or not.
How Fiction Is Rated Here
WordFlow uses the same ratings system that FanFiction.Net and FictionPress use, that is, WordFlow follows the ratings on FictionRatings.com, with a few exceptions. As a general rule, most of the stories and poems presented on WordFlow are within the K to T range - you will not see a B-rated or MA-rated story on this site, though there are a few M-rated ones. Musings (Sugary's blog) is rated T for strong language and some occasional "triggering" or crude content, but the rest of the site is a family-friendly K+ rating. As with most rating systems, I generally employs a few major content descriptors, specifically those for Language, Violence, Blood and Gore, and Frightening Content. Many stories also have additional, specific content descriptors (such as those noting that a story contains rape or torture scenes) warning readers of what might lie ahead for them should they choose to click on the link. I do not use content descriptors for stories that are rated K, because there really shouldn't be anything objectionable in a K-rated story anyway. If you're under 18 and want to read a story of mine that contains heavy, possibly offensive or inappropriate themes, I encourage you to ask your parents for permission first. That is, after all, why I label any objectionable content present in my stories. As an author, I promise you, the reader, that I will NEVER put any overly objectionable, too-frightening, or inappropriate content in a K or K+ rated fic.
WordFlow recognizes three levels for the major content descriptors (Language, Violence, Sexual Content, Blood/Gore, and Frightening Content). They are as follows:
WordFlow recognizes three levels for the major content descriptors (Language, Violence, Sexual Content, Blood/Gore, and Frightening Content). They are as follows:
- A Low level indicates:
- Minimal swearing (religious epithets like damn and hell used more than thrice and stronger words more than once)
- Mild violence (such as slapstick humor, fistfights, a superhero in a fight with a supervillain)
- Minimal blood and no gore (like someone getting a large cut that needs medical attention)
- Slightly scary content (such as an obviously not real monster, supernatural forces, or scary/dangerous animals).
- Mild sensual themes, but no sexual content or crude sexual language (such as hugging, kissing, petting, and other sensual acts that stay "above the belt").
- This level usually indicates a K+ or low-level T-rated story.
- A Medium level indicates:
- Slightly stronger swearing (vulgar words like bitch and shit used more than thrice and stronger words more than once)
- Median violence (mild gunplay, mild knifeplay, intense fistfights, explosions and vehicle crashes)
- Median blood and mild to median gore (such as someone getting a finger or hand chopped off or being badly scarred/burned, someone being shot or stabbed and bleeding heavily)
- Median scary content (dead bodies/zombies, someone going insane from an outside force, psychological torture, anything involving primal fears).
- Median sensual themes and mild sexual themes, possibly including sexual innuendos (such as catcalling, describing a human body in more detail, and scenes obviously meant to be sexual in nature, but NO sexual intercourse).
- This level usually indicates a T-rated story.
- A High level indicates:
- Strong swearing (vulgar words like f**k and c**t used more than twice and all slurs, racial or otherwise, used in a hateful/non-historical way more than once, or just an excessive abundance of lesser swears)
- Strong violence (heavy gunplay, heavy knifeplay, excessively brutal beatings, abuse of any kind, torture, murder)
- Strong blood and gore (extremely brutal torture, extremely brutal killings, mutilation)
- Very scary content (Realistic or semi-realistic threats like terrorist attacks, a serial killer stalking and killing someone, any and all body horror, psychopathic killers on the level of or higher than Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker).
- Median to high sexual themes and strong sensual themes, including sexual language and innuendos (This could include scenes meant to be erotic or actual sexual intercourse, as well as crude sexual innuendos, but NO pornographic or "hardcore" content, and NOT described in severe detail).
- This level usually indicates a high-level T or M-rated story.
A Word to Visiting Slenderfans...
I love the Slenderman Mythos! I love reading, writing, watching, discussing, drawing, and everything about the Slenderman Mythos! I love playing ARGs, being in-character, and scaring the life out of everyone who isn't aware of or involved with the Slenderman Mythos! And if you're like me, odds are you too love the Slenderman Mythos and the relationship is going pretty good for you as well.
But what I don't love is when people come to Wordflow and think it's okay to post In-Game about the Slenderman Mythos. And if you're like me, you know it's impolite to post In-Game on sites that are not a part of any ARG, series, or blog. In fact, when people come to her club and start wifin', it makes me very, very sad, because then I have to explain that this site is not part of the Mythos, even though it discusses it and contains links to In-Mythos content of my own.
You see, Wordflow (and by extension my blog, Musings 2.0), is Out-Of-Game. That means that this site and all parts of it are not a part of any ARG, series, or other blog, and around here, the Slenderman, all his Proxies included, does not exist because he isn't actually real. In fact, he's not only not real, he's decidedly not real, and if you come here to post otherwise you will be trolled. Mercilessly. There will be no Proxy posts, no Runner posts, no anything posts because they are not allowed here. Please keep that stuff to the blogs, ARGs, and series, because that is the place for it and this site is not.
Also, this site is for EVERYONE to enjoy and everyone is welcome. That includes all Slenderfans, old and new, of all levels of familiarity with the Mythos and of all walks of life. You WILL NOT bash another person on this site simply for talking about certain games here, and you WILL NOT hate on anyone for something they did off-site. Leave the drama and flaming at the door, or find another site, because that's not okay around here.
There is only one more caveat - calling the Slenderman "Slender" or otherwise implying that game is the origin point of the character is a very big pet peeve for me, so please do not do this. If you are posting a comment anywhere on this site and behave in this manner, you will be politely corrected and pointed towards some awesome Slenderseries, short stories, and Creepypastas. If you continue to do this after that, your comments will be deleted as spam. You have been warned.
