A 6000 word plus short story from 2004 where it was PG rated that invoked debate in The Twilight Zone and horror based fanfiction circles whether it was original or fanfiction, as FanHistory noted it was original with characters named Serling and set in Glendale Heights in 1987. It was noted from being done from a photograph taken in 2003 when returning from Nocturna as it was sneaked on Fanfiction.net as someone fuming over a detailed pick apart the author did, the critic had the three original pieces on the site taken down. Then it was brought over to AuthorsDen and FictionPress where they remain to this day. It was noted for being tested out on Rod Serling's widow in 2004.
If you're talking about that 2004 short story where the writer of The Cabbie Homicide introduced his hometown as a Gothic Horror setting, it was strongly inspired by The Twilight Zone where he didn't swear and had characters named based on his classmates from the era. He did a narration ala Rod Serling on his then blog as a joke and next thing he had a hook, then The Statue was born. It was noted by one of his future anthology mates and contributors of the magazine for having a scare akin to H. P. Lovecraft long after they read the story. Laura Hale of FanHistory Wiki chronicled the extremely funny debates the story invoked when it was first introduced. The ex-fiancee and critics try to call this a fanfiction work when Laura noted everything in the story was his outright.

The epistemic status is a short disclaimer at the top of a post that explains how confident the author is in the contents of the post, how much reputation the author is willing to stake on it, what sorts of tests the thesis has passed.
It should give a reader a sense of how seriously they should take the post.

It had "Epistemic Status: Wild off-the-cuff speculation" so I didn't bother to read it. It seemed entertaining, just didn't have time.
He said "Epistemic Status: Would bet at 30:1 odds in favour of the thesis and I probably one of the top 100 theorists in the intersection of the relevant fields" but it still seemed completely insane to me. Heads better roll if/when it turns out to be wrong. Like, I mean it, he should lose all of his social capital. People should stop reading his blog and his eigenkarma should be reset (If he's somehow right though I will be very impressed)

1. A term coined by Kanye West, whereby one can signify that they have reached such a large audience of followers that their concerts can command enough people so as to fill an entire stadium.
2. That number-one spot; to be the most important and talked-about.
3. "People are going for that number-one spot, going for that moment: to be the most important and most talked-about. I call it stadium status. Do we have that copyrighted? That's what my album is: stadium status."
-Kanye West, Rolling Stone Magazine (2007)

A person who is always looking to improve their social standing beyond what is reasonable or fitting by acquiring more desirable possessions, taking extravagant vacations, joining exclusive organizations and cultivating new and advantageous social connections in order to impress others.
His vacationing on the Costa del Sol shows what a status seeker he has become.
Being superficial status seekers, they are thinking of buying a new McMansion, even though they don't plan on having a family and already own a house that suits their needs in all respects.

A status where the person writes a philosophical entry about life, love or friendship. Often, the status is very general and its main aim is to create deep impact on the reader, or just for the likes.
Guy1: Hey man! Come read this!
Status: "Life isn't supposed to be easy. Sometimes you can give it all but it's not enough and it ends up just falling apart. But never give up. I'd rather have something worth fighting for than to watch it fall apart. Only through our bad experiences we become stronger."
Guy2: Oh, that's just another Allister status. Bullshitting away. Hoping people think they're deep and shit. Want to get a burger?
