It takes a bit of time and patience to determine whether or not a story written by an author (be it you, me, or any other author that is either new or has been on this site for quite some time.) is accepted to the CreepyPasta Wiki.

Hell, even some of the best well known authors may have had a hard time having the story they wrote being accepted here their first time around.

I myself have tried to write a story here (but it was on a whole different account before I created this one), however it was never accepted because of a certain issue (or several).

Most of the advice the admins have here are these:


 * OCs tend to "crash and burn" and result in the story being deleted.
 * Avoid videogames as a subject of writing a creepypasta because there have been a lot of creepypastas done to death in this category involving "Pokémon" (i.e. Lavender Town Syndrome, Pokémon Creepy Black, etc.), "Mario" (i.e. MARIO), "Minecraft" (i.e. Herobrine) and "Sonic" (i.e. Sonic.exe, Sally.exe, and The Tails Doll Curse)

If you are having a hard time trying to getting your story recognized and accepted, feel free to stop by the "writer's workshop" at any given time.

As for critiquing, it can be a hard process because it's kind of difficult to come up with what words to say to an artist or author so they don't get mad at you or take a certain statement out of context. (Believe me, there are people on DeviantArt which often times take another person's character and claim it as their own (despite there being the original artist's signature within the drawing the "art thief" took and claimed as their own) which will take a comment someone says and use it against the individual who said the said comment.)

I think the critique you gave to Katais was "okay".

My advice when writing something here: Keep trying your hardest and don't be afraid to ask for advice.

sincerely,
