My stories keeps got sent back and I don't understand why.

Thanks :)


I may try it but to be honest, after two days of that drama I am already a bit tired of it. I posted this story elsewhere before and I will not change whole sentences, worst case scenario, I will not be on Literotica :(
 
Little update.
I thought maybe my chapters had been sent back because I submitted 3 at the same time.
So two days ago, I submitted only one.
It's pending for a second day now.
How many days chapters may be pending?
 
I resent that. I have written almost as many instances of men being noncon'd as women. 🤭

Now depending on on your definitions, I write more "reluctance" than "rape" but I have multiple instances of men saying "No." and yet their pleas are ignored by the women, who continue regardless. I consider that rape.

I have written numerous non-con stories, (maledom and femdom) and I have never gotten a story rejection.

As others have said, just make sure both parties enjoy the sex by the end. One of the best ways to do that is through internal monologue. A character can outwardly be fully rejecting intercourse, but if we as the reader know that deep down they are wanting it, you're good.

In the story Eldritch Pact, a man gets prostate milked by a demigoddess, and he basically never fully goes along with the sex (although he does technically agrees to it before to prevent his own death). He even begs her to stop, and she ignores him... But he enjoys it by the end, so it passed without a hitch.
Always is preferable to 98.7% of the time in a rhetorical context.

The number of chapters is unlikely to have anything to do with why they are sent back. But, if one is rejected, any others are likely to get sent back as well to avoid gaps in the story or them getting posted out of sequence, even if nothing is wrong with them individually.
1-3 days of pending is completely normal, and 4-7 days is not uncommon, especially when story contests are happening and contest entries are getting priority. Or at least, that has been my experience. Some people do tend to get approvals faster, but since yours is a resubmitted story, it may take longer than the times I mentioned if they're giving it a more thorough inspection than the first time.

I don't think that's the case.

Folk often come here fearing that a rejected chapter will get out of sequence, because later chapters haven't been sent back. They're worried the time it takes to fix a rejection (and then submitting an early chapter later in the queue) will cock up the release order.

The safest advice, I reckon, is: if a chapter gets rejected, pull all subsequent chapters back to Draft, fix the offending chapter, and wait till it passes Go. Then resubmit the remaining chapters. That way, the release sequence can't go wrong.

I'm basing my statement off of my own experience. I had three chapters queued up and the first got rejected because they considered it ageplay, which was not featured in the other two chapters following it, and all three were returned at the same time (within minutes of each other). They either incorrectly assumed that the other chapters in the serial were substantially the same without reading or even scanning them, or the rejection of the preceding chapter was enough to get them kicked back immediately rather than locked in pending status, even though their content and characters were mostly different. I interpreted it as something of a courtesy, since that would mean the site wouldn't accidentally post them with a gap or out of sequence, but I can't rule out that it wasn't laziness or carelessness on the part of the editor.
I obviously can't say how unique my situation was, and if the latter two chapters hadn't been sent back I'd have done just as you suggested, but their response made it unnecessary.

Ahh, okay - if they were all submitted at the same time, Laurel might have been doing you a favour. Did the second two chapters come back with a rejection notice, or a note saying "See Chapter One"? Surely they weren't sent back with nothing?

What do you see in her?

The chapters were actually submitted several days apart. I forget exactly now, but after the first one had been pending four or five days I went ahead and added the next chapter, and then another one a couple of days later. Then about two days after that all three got kicked back with identical rejection notices... boilerplate except for the bit about ageplay being the reason, although as I said the character with the offending fetish was only in the first one.
 
What about her? Do you mean, how I regard her?

I still don't understand why there's a question.
Laurel has only ever communicated with me in copy-paste responses. It's not far out of the realm of possibility that she would send something back without a reason listed.

I think the rejection process defaults to cut and paste responses.

If you're wondering if I've had personal responses where she's directly addressed a question I've asked, yes I have, several times.

The real important question is: are your stories all submitted in this same obtrusive typeface?

It used to be somewhat jarring is my brain needed to adjust whenever I saw your posts, but then at some point you made it large and imposing which just slaps me in the face even when I scroll over quickly without reading, no matter how much I try to convince myself that it's just a font. Just what is it that you find so objectionable about this forum's default font?
 
Well sending chapters one by one instead of all at the same time seems to help in my case. I managed to get two approved over the last couple of days that way, where I obviously didn't change a single comma in them.
 
Another update...

Chapter 4 sent back again :/

I start to believe that the only AI here is a bot who sends me that message...

I even attached a note to admin:

The fig leaf that Lit has for allowing rape porn on the site is that the woman (it’s always a woman) being raped has to enjoy it at some point (yeah like that would happen).
Enjoyment is a nebulous term. I wrote a story in my slave universe, 'My Mother Owns Me" The subjects were forced to have sex (essentially rape) but they did get aroused in the process. That filled the requirement.
 
I explicitly state the ages of characters involved in sex at every turn, no matter how awkward. I still occasionally got dinged by autoreject or whatever for the slang use of "boys."

Keep doing what you've been doing, resubmit with a note to the editor.

Clearly, there's something in your style that's triggering a bot, and I'd say you're getting an automated rejection.

In future, I'd add the same note to all new submissions, which should get human eyes a step earlier.

Finally, I'd take a good look at your style, to try to figure out why your text is "like AI". There's got to be some stylistic pattern you might need to work on, to avoid auto-rejection.

Thanks :)

And please do :>

I personally do not think there is anything out of the ordinary in my text, but well, who am I to judge...

My story is called Harem of Man, and all so far uploaded parts (apart from chapter 1) have already been rejected multiple times. So chapters 2 and 3 are probably as much of a "good study" of that "triggering mechanism" :>

Ok, so after 7 or 8 days, chapter 4 (previously sent back two times) has been approved. Obviously, I haven't changed a single word in the text.
Now I just dread to resubmit chapter 5 (also previously sent back)
Because realistically, the approval time for me is not a week but more than three, counting from the first submission to the approval of exactly, word for word, not a single change in text.

Keep doing what you did for chapter 4.
 
Rejected again...
