A story is almost never deleted for mechanical issues alone, but rather for having fundamental plot problems (that admins/users shouldn't be altering) like plot holes, a generic premise, poor story-telling, etc. As the writer, the onus does fall on you to care enough about your story to proof-read it and make the plot engaging/not generic before posting it. You wouldn't turn in a project half finished and expect to revise it later, why would you do that with a story?

As for explaining why, there's the writer's workshop and you can always message the admin who deleted your story and ask about how you can improve it. I don't know any admin in our group that has refused to explain their reasoning once a user has asked.
