Spoiler: if you worked on your story for a matter of hours before submitting, it's not ready to be submitted anywhere.

The people who get their stuff to stay on here usually work on their stories for weeks at the very least before finally uploading them, or else we post in the workshop and ask for help. If we freely accepted anything anyone submitted, regardless of how little work they put into it, nobody would grow as a writer. By having actual quality standards, we're giving you a bar to reach for. The other option is to reject the bar, post your work elsewhere, and never improve your craft because nobody's actually challenging you. Which do you actually want?
