So I've talked about this with others, mods and regular users alike. I don't think that this story should be nominated for CotM for a few different reasons. One, this is a published story. None of our creepypastas have been published, mostly because we write on the Internet. Two, this is by a well known author. On top of that, this was written by Steven King, a prominant figure in the fiction/horror world. People could vote on that fact alone.

Don't get me wrong, I love the story and am a fan of King's work (I am eyeing my own copy of Nightmares and Dreamscapes across the room), but it would be way too hard to compete against it.
