The only reason I deleted it is because it ended with "To be continued...". If you had said "to be continued in part 2" or something else that doesn't trigger my auto-delete senses, I would have probably at least read it over before deciding whether or not to give it the axe.

If this has enough substance to be considered a standalone story (doesn't sound like it since you said lacks an ending), you can make a case at deletion appeal OR you can upload it directly to the main site once you've completed the rest of the story/series. I haven't actually read it yet, so I can't guarantee that it won't end up getting deleted again for quality reasons if you went with the second option.

I would just keep this in the Writer's Workshop for now, wait for more people to respond. If people don't think it's ready for the main site, they'll usually tell you what needs to be improved so that it won't end up getting deleted when/if you decide to post it. If you actually use their advice and work on revising the story (preferably posting the revisions in this thread so we can see your progress), your chances of getting accepted will go up drastically. Many of our users post all their stories in the Workshop before even thinking of uploading them to the wiki for this reason.

TL;DR: you could appeal this story's deletion right now, but it would be a better idea to use the WW first.
