For me, I ranked creepiness rather low on my list. Yes, a Creepypasta should have creepy elements in them, and it is something I do look at, but objectively, if a story isn't that creepy, it can still be an amazing work. I'm not going to take away points from an exceptional story just because I didn't find it very creepy if the story is incredible.

Sure, I don't find We Called Him TaTa creepy at all, but it still triggers a strong emotional reaction with some supernatural elements in the story to barely make it a Creepypasta. If you look at it as a Creepypasta, it isn't very scary, but it is definitely a quality story. I wouldn't take points off of it for not being scary because that was clearly not the intention of the author, and the story was so strong that it didn't matter much to me.

I grade originality and actual story quality the highest over writing, because even if a story has some distracting grammatical and other mistakes, some stories can pull through regardless if their plot is strong. Of course, if a story is so grammatically broken that the story is incomprehensible and ruined, then I suppose it would play a bigger part in the actual quality then, but really it depends on the scenario.
