And no, don't worry, this isn't anything sexual or gratuitous violence or racist or anything, not that kind of story. Even I, the worst human being ever, isn't racist.

Anyway, I basically have story that has nothing to do with the Foundation, and isn't at all creepy. (I'm rather dubious about putting the link here, since someone might move it to the Draft and Critiques page, but I guess I don't have a choice, do I? It's directly linked to the discussion. Here you go. Forum thread is here

Anyway, my question is: can this be uploaded? It isn't creepy, more of a "Gravity set in antarctica" type. Hell, even if this genre of story can be uploaded (I can't actually place the genre), is the story good enough?

So, essentially, it isn't creepy, it isn't foundation related. Can I upload it?

Anyway, what I've learnt from this thread:
My tale is boring
I need to shoehorn in SCP elements
I am not allowed to upload the story
I need to upload the story elsewhere
I am allowed to upload the story
If I upload the story I'll be banned for it.
If I had just uploaded it without asking, I wouldn't be getting banned for it
The story is so bad I'm getting banned for it
No emoing
My story is neither weird or cool
I'm an asshole/idiot
I just wrote a story combining V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The Thing and The Shining, yet has nothing to do with any.
I'll only be in trouble if the tale is deleted.
Whatever happens I won't be in trouble

Now I'm really confused…

Seriously, Inception made more sense than this thread. I've gotten god knows how many replies, all of which seem to be saying different things.

Uh… is there a reason you want to toss something like this on the site? Build your author profile, just for kicks, etc?

You won't be banned for posting something boring. It will get downvoted and deleted if that's the case, but you can always try again.

Well I tried to read it but I guess you deleted it. I don't really know what it was but if it is something that would fit over at The Wanderer's Library, PLEASE post it there! I love the different formatting over there and it desperately needs more content and more active users. Plus, now I want to read it. I can see why you'd be upset, but don't take it personally. You asked a question and that was the answer, but the good part is that The Library sounds like the perfect place for you to write. It's still the Foundation Universe, just from a different perspective. Also everyone is super chill there.

Bennings, no one said you would be banned for posting this.

People will not ever be banned for posting something that is terrible or gets deleted.

Things people might be in trouble for posting are blatantly inappropriate content or an unedited version of something that got deleted - but they would be unlikely to be banned, especially for a first offense.

Please stop saying people are telling you you're going to get banned for posting a story unless you can point to where people are saying this.

If people are saying this, I'd like them to stop, because they're wrong.

This is a site for posting SCP content. Feel free to work on non creepy, not SCP related writing in your own sandbox, but if you post it on the main site it probably will not last very long before getting down voted. I'm sure some are willing to give you feedback on it if you ask them, but most are here for SCP related stuff, or at least creepy stuff.

You won't get banned for posting something that gets downvoted. You won't get banned for having something deleted. You won't be banned if your work isn't good. You can get into trouble if you post too often or cause problems with constant post, say of unfinished work or something. Barring any really outlandish acts, you won't get banned out of the blue. Admins and mods would most likely contact you via PM to give you a warning if anything did come up.

I had more to say but I'd hate to add to your confusion.

Alright.

Let's end this confusing mess of a thread.

Can upload it here? Yes, or no?

I don't want to come off as saying "None of you are helping"; it's obvious some people have the right answer, but it's been mixed in with wrong ones.

I'm sorry, for everything pretty much.
