User blog comment:EtherBot/Let's Talk Deletion!!!/@comment-5101683-20170210023136

That story is not on this site because the author was too lazy to ask for it to be on the site in Deletion Appeal. In that sense, yes, the writer is doing his or her job poorly, or is implying that he/she doesn't actually want the story on the site.

(Deletion Appeal is the "room for discussion when it comes to why your pasta was deleted".)

Also, the stories that are deleted are usually too similar to another story, so that's more of a problem with the writers than the site.

If you want, I can write a poetry pasta and credit you, and I'll change it until you think that it's fine.

Thank you for writing this. It was very kind.
