I've seen way too many complaints about the 'strictness' of this site. You have to realize that this isn't Devianart, where you can just post ANYTHING regardless of quality or effort and have it accepted.

First of all, there are not thousands of rules on this site. There are Quality Standards, Blacklisted Subjects, Cliches, Writing Advices and Resources, and the Writer's Workshop. It really isn't that hard to write a story that will get accepted- if you honestly find it difficult, you need more practice.

And as for not getting an archive to your stories, don't just click 'Add A Page' and spend thirty minutes typing your story in and instantly clicking Post. Plan your story a bit, write a draft, edit, and save it periodically in a Word Document. Then, proofread it, and put it here. Even if it gets deleted, keep it on your computer- word docs take up very little space.
