Are you kidding me?

Someone crying "Censorship!!! Whatever happened to free speech?!1!" is probably the most pathetic defense of allowing garbage stories on this site.

Let me give you a reality check: ''This site has rules and standards. ''If your story fails to meet those standards and is deleted, you have a few options to remedy this and potentially get it back on site:


 * The Writer's Workshop. This forum is for feedback on all stories, even ones far below standards or containing blacklisted subjects. One or more reviewers here can give you feedback on the good and bad of your work when you post it here.


 * Deletion Appeal. If you had a story deleted, revise or rewrite it and follow the appeal guidelines. It may get reuploaded, and if not, keep trying.


 * Writing Advice Blogs, Deletion FAQ, and How To Write A Creepypasta. These exist to give you some good tips and advice on making your stories, or writing as a whole, better. Give these a read if you haven't done so already. I promise it will be worth your time.

Let me ask this- if someone submitted a very poor-quality story to a publisher, and it was rejected, how would they look if they complained, "Well, you're just censoring me! I made this, therefore I have the right to display it!" No. Just because you wrote something does not mean it has an automatic right to be shown. Once again, I point you to deviantArt, where no one can edit or delete your work regardless of how poor quality it is.
