The fact it's your first story has little bearing on our quality standards. Dozens of stories are posted on a daily basis and a number are from first-time writers who do their damnedest to improve their story and make sure it is well-written before posting it. I pointed out the issues that led to my deleting it (see above), saying it's your first story is not a valid reason for passing it.
