User blog comment:Dorkpool/"This Is My First Pasta"/@comment-27007772-20150628025730

When I read a new story, I got a *little* easier if it is the author's first story. The story staying on the main site or being marked for deletion is not affected, but my standpoint on it (excluding marking for review). Some people need to get a grasp on their skills first, and one terrible story being deleted can help do that.

My first pasta was a shitty story about a kid killing his family.

This is 4-5 years ago, mind you. I would have been 11-12.
