Discussion SugarWiki / CandleCove

Agreed so much.

What do you mean? I loved this show as a kid.

No one's denying there was a screaming episode, and it is referenced several times. That said, none of the people I've talked to remember anything about anyone named Emerson Grimes, and so far none of them have found anything of substance relating to the show's production.

Cite your sources, OP.

Emerson Grimes is mentioned as the show's director in the summary of this Youtube video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qvW5gSZ0dI

The Creepypastas Memoirs of a Set Designer: A Candle Cove Story and Candle Cove Experiences: Tales of the Laughingstock both go with this canon, as does To Light a Candle, I think. We're not denying the screaming episode exists, but we are denying that it was a real episode.

It's mentioned that there are some fan theories that the scream episode wasn't an actual episode, but it is noted that it's just a theory.

As to whether Emerson Grimes was genuinely the director, it should be noted that most of the accounts of him being director were second hand information. None of the reruns I've found online included the credits (I don't actually remember there being credits when I saw the show as a kid, but I probably wasn't paying attention) so I dunno if we wanna use these stories/interviews as sources...

That said, I think it's probably cool to talk about the guy so long as it's made clear that it's all hearsay and rumors.

That was the one with Percy's brother or cousin or something, right? And Horace was trying to steal the Laughingstock's food for some reason?

I hear it in my head to the tune of the Oompa Loompa song. The end doesn't fit right though.

If memory serves it did sound a bit similar to the old school Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I mean it wasn't exactly the same, I think there was an extra beat somewhere, but it was pretty close. Given the rest of the show's budget, they probably ripped it off :P

It's somebody's sick creepy idea of a practical joke, it is, no, it's somebody's sick creepy idea of a practical joke, and yes, respectively.

Thank you so much and God bless you. I can finally sleep at night.

Dude, it's just fun. Don't wet yourself over it.

Obviously, Thinks Too Much thinks too much.

Nononono.... you Don't Explain the Joke it ruins all the fun!

Show within a show? I remember it pretty well, but I don't remember what is was part of.

I wish. We'd be lucky if we could even find out what company produced the show, let alone who made the puppets.

The problem, and sorry if I'm necroing here but this literally just came to my attention, is that the Sugar Wiki page comes up BEFORE the Darth Wiki page and gives no indication of the deception, or the existence of other pages. I've read the original, several spinoffs, & seen the Wiki, & this even left ME confused. Imagine what it does to people with no familiarity with the creepypasta.

Edit: To clarify, I approve of the page, I just think there should be some link somewhere to indicate the joke. Maybe at the end, or under "don't explain the joke" as a stealth pun.

The Darth Wiki page is pretty much the "actual" page, while the Sugar Wiki page is the "in-universe" variant. I'm not sure what else you're looking for.

The Sugar Wiki page actually had me convinced for a minute that the show was real. At the time I'd only read the creepypasta and knew nothing of the myth being upheld as a joke. It's pretty well-done.

My thoughts exactly. Dunno if a quotes page would be a good idea though... Any way we could make it collapsable?

You could use a folder or hottip, but that would look sort of clunky. Maybe we could create a quotes folder?

Fixed. I also couldn't find anything about the aborted 3rd season, so I removed the references until we can find citations.

I guess the problem here is that people mix up Troper Tales and the Sugar Wiki a little in their examples. The reason for this is probably that Candle Cove is a rather unique (or at least rare) example, with its Sugar Wiki and Darth Wiki. Maybe we should put up a note with a clearer guide-line on what can be posted? Should it be allowed to "invent canon" yourself, or should we stick strictly to what was referenced in the original story?

I think referring to storylines from the show are okay, but trying to talk about the show's writers is just silly.

Thanks for fixing that.

Right, I've added a disclaimer on the editing page talking about what does and doesn't belong. I figured that since we can't find any info on the creators, most if not all of the behind-the-scenes info is rumors and speculation. As a result, I figure the trope page should deal more with the stuff that's actually in the show. Sound good?
