(HEROBRINE IS NOT REAL AND THIS IS A FAN FICTION STORY)
One rainy day, Steve took a walk throughout his village hoping to buy a picaxe at the blacksmith. But he was stopped by a young, Swedish miner like him. The name is Herobrine, said the miner. I Suspect you were going to buy tools, said herobrine. Yes, said steve. Would you like to come and mine with me tomorrow?,said steve. Yes, i would love to, said herobrine.
The next day was stormy and windy. They met at the library early in the morning and steve took out his books and maps ect. They had a quick discussion on what part of the mine they were going to go to. Herobrine picked a route that might take them to a ravine with a mineshaft. They went home and packed tools/food.
Herobrine walked to steve's house. Then they walked to the mine in the forest together. They got to the mine and started there journey down. They dug many tunnels until they could find a ravine. Its almost completely covered with lava!, said steve. Don't worry, i'm good at this, said herobrine. Herobrine then hopped over to the other side staying clear of the lava. He was close to a mineshaft. Then he carefully walked onto the obsidian with water running over it which made it harder for him not to slip. Just as he was about to step on the other side, a skeleton shot him and he fell, then slipped into the lava. Steve gasped as he he heard a scream from the other side of the ravine. he walked over and all he found was a diamond picaxe on the ground. Then he took it and ran out of the mine and ran all the way back home.
Days later it was in the news that herobrine was killed and could not respawn. Steve was sad that his good friend could not see him again. Months later steve was getting ready to go to bed when he heard a sound outside. He looked out his window but nothing was there. So he told himself that his mind was playing with him and got to bed. Hours later in the night, steve was woken up by the same sound he had heard earlier. He looked out the window and there next to the mine were two bright white, evil eyes. Steve got very scared but could not move. He then was blacked out and when he woke up, he was in a bed and it looked almost like a hospital. He felt pain on his chest, he looked down and saw the writing "HEROBRINE" scrached on. He suffered pain, agony because there were cuts, burns, and bruises. But he couldn't stop thinking about herobrine.
Yes, I agree with the previous post. This topic will get locked. Trust me on that. Take a look at the Forum Rules before posting. Sorry, I don't mean to sound absurd, but please follow my advice.
It's okay, there's a disclaimer in the text stating that Herobrine is not real.
Feel free to write stories about Herobrine in the Literature section, but don't forget to state that he is not real, never was real, and never will be real

Wait, what? Isn't it implied that all fictional stories in the Literature subsection are fictional anyway? There's nothing misleading here because all that is fiction is openly viewed as fiction, and as such no one can be mislead. Why does a story require a disclaimer to prove that it's fictional if it was considered fictional in the first place?
Feel free to leave your comments. Or criticisms, I suppose, if they're constructive. Almost anything really, unless it's an outright threat. In that case I'd prefer you put it in a private message.

Sure, but when it comes to Herobrine we need some precautions.
Herobrine is a hoax, and according to Forum Rules, all threads regarding Herobrine must be deleted and the user, infracted.
But here in the Literature section, members should be allowed to write stories about him. In order to prevent problems with the rules, the disclaimer is mandatory.

In other places, such as the "Suggestions" section or the "Survival Mode" section, I would agree. But the Literature section it's already implied unless explicitly stated otherwise that any posted stories are completely fictional. As I added to my earlier post, there's nothing misleading here because all that is fiction is openly viewed as fiction, and as such no one can be mislead.

We have member of all ages visiting this forum, including children. That's why we need a disclaimer.
Herobrine is a hoax and is treated as a particular subject in our rules, to prevent misleading texts and further spread of the discussion regarding it's existence.
This is the Literature section. As the description says, "Share any writing you have made about Minecraft here. This includes stories, poems and music." It does not mention fan fic. Although it's common sense, as I also stated above, we need to take precautions when it comes to Herobrine.
He is not real. We just ask people to clearly state this when writing about him.

Story and fanfic are nearly synonymous. As evidenced by the fact that, by my conservative estimate, half of the stories in the Literature subsection discuss Herobrine and do not openly state that he is not real, and yet everyone continues to see them as fictional stories, I think few are gullible enough to be mislead by what is intended to mislead unless they actively desire to be, in which case no amount of disclaimers can stop them. I suppose rules are rules but I think it's a waste of effort to be suspicious of misleading stories here.

All we ask is that people put a simple disclaimer when it comes to herobrine stories. Sure, it might seem like common sense but sadly we cant assume people have much of that. People post videos in the videos sub-section and we have to remind them the same as others who look at it can interpret it as the poster's own experience.
There isn't much to fuss on, typing a three sentence add-on to your saying stating "This is fictional." wont kill your stories.

It may be easy but it's a waste of effort to enforce. The implication in the Literature subsection is that all stories that are not explicitly advertised as being true are fictional. If people are willing to do that, it's fine. But I think it would be unnecessary to ask those who have already created stories featuring Herobrine and those who for some reason do not to make the necessary corrections in their story, only to avoid wasting your own time. I'm not saying what you're asking is a waste of our time, only that the trouble of enforcing it would be a waste of yours.

A lot of things can seem as a waste of time for us, but we knew this applying for the position. Its a minor thing we ask people to do and normally we dont get a fuss over it since it is so minor and easily corrected. Again, common sense isnt common as a global rule doesn't have an 'acception'. I appreciate you worrying about staffs time being wasted but its not something we gripe about as we generally enjoy reading over topics regardless. Nevertheless, I'll end my part on this conversation here as to not hijack this members thread.

Your dedication is impressive, then. Well I won't try to discourage you if that really is the duty of Moderator. If you're fine with it then so am I. However I'd ask that you don't lock any story threads in the Literature subsection if they for some reason do not implement such a disclaimer, as Koumus did at some point. I understand that was probably a misunderstanding but I feel like I ought to ask.
But disagreements about rules aside, as I said to Koumus, it's nice to know there are a few Moderators who look at the Literature subsection.

Agreed, i thought we were a little forgotten wasteland.
On topic; why would Herobrine be mad at steve if he was stupid enough to just fall in?
Sure, but when it comes to Herobrine we need some precautions.

What? so if you post ANYTHING simaler to herobrine in any other forum thread then you will get infracted and you have to delete your herobrine post? what is herobrine the devil to this website or something? this is just not right. herobrine is a fictional character. plus mostly everybody knows about him, and that he's not true. so why infract somebody because they talked about herobrine?
What? so if you post ANYTHING simaler to herobrine in any other forum thread then you will get infracted and you have to delete your herobrine post?
In short, yes.
Herobrine threads always lead to useless discussions and flame wars.
Here in the Literature section, stories must contain a disclaimer stating that Herobrine is not real.
Otherwise, your thread will likely be deleted and you may receive an infraction, depending on the case.
Hoax
Deliberately posting misleading or inaccurate information to confuse members is unacceptable. This includes sightings of Herobrine.

By the way, welcome to Minecraft Forums.
TT2000, you are genius.
