User blog comment:Kawaiiornah/Creepypasta... You have failed me./@comment-25052433-20140920173640

The site didn't fail anyone, you simply failed to meet the quality standards. Sorry if that isn't the answer, or the reality that you want to embrace, but in the end, it is the simple truth.

For everyone out there that thinks we are too strict or too selective in what does and doesn't stick on our site, I tell them this, if you use the resources available to you, your story will almost never be deleted.

Of course, most people don't want to do that, because that takes more time, more work and means that the immediate gratification of seeing your story on the site takes longer to come. Well, to them, that is simply too bad.

Some of our best writers on this site still use the Writer's Workshop. Why? Because they want to ensure that their work stays on the site. That is all you would have had to do, post in the Workshop, take the critiques, make the changes and get blessed off by the admins. Then your story would be displayed here right now, instead of this sad man, blame the world blog.

Do you know what you get when your story successfully posts here? You get pride. Pride that your work went through the grinder and came out whole on the other side. Sure, you can go and post on DeviantArt or any other site that doesn't have quality standards, and your story will stick.

But tell me this, how much pride can you really take in your work when it's posted next to stuff like "Pac-Man Marries Pinky the Ghost" or some such other nonsense. Trust me, in the end, this is the place that you want to show off your talent, but you have to show your talent in order for that to happen.

So, with that, I would suggest you drop this emo act, realize that the failure is not on the part of the site, and honestly try again. You're not going to be able to cry yourself into acceptance here. However, with hard work and quality writing, you can earn yourself a place, and the rewards of that are far greater than anything you'll find on sites that publish anything.

Think about that.
