Resubmitted My Story After It Was Sent Back as AI Work — Seeking Clarity & Support

[Anjalisinha]

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share something I recently went through and hopefully get some support or guidance.
The third part of my ongoing series was recently sent back with the label “AI work,” even though I wrote every word myself. I’ve been building this story slowly, and the feedback from earlier parts has been encouraging. So this was honestly quite disheartening.

To make things clear:
1. I do not use AI to write my stories. I only use the free version of Grammarly for basic grammar and typo checks, which, as I understand, falls well within Lit’s fair use policy.
2. I’ve also been actively seeking help. I first posted on the Lit forum for editing feedback, also contacted a few editors from Lit’s official editor list, and reached out via Discord and Reddit to improve consistency and flow like any learning writer would.
3. I even sent a PM to Laurel with screenshots of Google Chat proving my edits and conversations happened before submission.

I did not submit a new story; I simply resubmitted the same sent-back version in a new Word file, with a short explanation and minor edits (grammar, phrasing, and flow)

I fully understand the need for moderation and caution around AI content, and I respect the team’s role. My only hope is to make sure genuine writers don’t get discouraged or mislabeled, especially when we’re openly asking for help and trying to improve.


So I’m asking:

• Has anyone else faced this kind of situation?
• What can I do next if the story is flagged again despite my efforts?
• Any Advice or comments from fellow authors ?

Go to the Authors' Hangout. There are dozens of threads on AI story rejections. In nearly every case, writers say they use tools such as Grammarly to assist their edits. It's a common denominator, so best not to rely on it in any way. Use basic spell checks, but don't rely on software tools for grammar checks, it's possible they leave artifacts hidden in the text. There's something in your style that's tripping up whatever Lit uses to detect AI, or code that's being detected, somehow.

Try saving your content as a .txt or .rtf file, and copy paste into the submission form's text box. No guarantee, but it might work.

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

EB nailed it. AI rejections have become hotter than hotcakes around here, but what you’ve done and the advice offered in EB’s response is about the best around. Use of Grammarly has often been a common denominator, so I would try the Spelling and Grammar check in Word (since you said you’re using it) and would be reluctant to accept very many suggested word changes in that. I use that checker in Word and the similar check in Google Docs along with several reading passes for my stories and have avoided the issue to date. Good luck!

None of us know what the heuristics are; the best we can do is surmise. As others have alluded, there's something in the structure of your work that is triggering the tripwires.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

Your frustration is understandable.

Literotica doesn't tolerate AI-generated content, which I fully support, but they use an undisclosed system for detection of such work. The real trouble is the fact that they don't provide guidance or support for authors whose submissions get rejected. They practically dumped the whole burden of that on us, authors, and a few overloaded volunteer editors.

The problem with that approach is the fact that we also don't know what needs to be done beyond common sense and some experience with past cases. You are on your own to solve the problem, even if it's nigh impossible to solve a problem when you don't even know what the problem is.

My best recommendation is to search this forum for past cases and see what wisdom other users offered. To get approved, you will likely need to rewrite parts of your story, which wouldn't be such a big deal if you knew which parts.
It's a tough situation, so you'd better arm yourself with patience... and alcohol.

If your native language is Hindi or Marathi, or really anything aside from English, there's a chance that your personal writing style will have some of the same characteristics as the stuff AI comes up with. For example, an LLM will usually be completely correct in terms of spelling and grammar, but express ideas in a way a human (or a native speaker) might find contextually odd. The dialogue might have rhythms that don't seem to fit with an otherwise meticulous use of the language. Alternatively, even the basic software grammar checkers might be leading you astray by telling you that something is incorrect when in fact it is simply inappropriate for business or academic writing, which is what most of them are designed for. I believe that might trigger the site's detectors as well. All of this is just guesswork, though.

I don't know if any of that applies to your story, but several people for whom English is a second (or third, fourth, etc.) language were also getting flagged after the site started trying to filter for AI. Some of them had used translation software, which often utilizes LLM AI these days. Those who didn't might have been the 'victims' of a system that is somewhat useful at differentiating computers from 'natural' writers of the language, but falters (more) when dealing with anyone else.

Sadly, even if my guess is anywhere in the ballpark of being right, I don't know how one could resolve it, other than bringing it to the attention of the editor via a note when you resubmit.

I think there’s still a bit of confusion out there between AI-generated content and AI-powered writing tools. Even the spelling and grammar checkers in Word and Google Docs are now powered by machine learning to some degree (they’re basically doing what a human proofreader or line editor might do), but using them doesn’t make a story “AI-generated.” It’s no different from using a dictionary or thesaurus — just faster and more contextual.

As long as the writing itself is your own, using tools to catch typos or improve clarity seems like fair game. The important part is the voice, creativity, and intent behind the story — and that can’t be faked by a checker.

To be honest, I find it disheartening that a site makes it so difficult for writers to share their work because of overbroad policies. Of course the owners have every right to set their rules — and authors have every right to take their work elsewhere.

Not so much Word or google or the like, but tools like Grammarly and their ilk do tend to revise your stuff sufficiently to get it flagged. There's anecdotal evidence (which is the best we've got in this case) that the use of tools like Grammarly is a common thread in a lot of AI rejections around here.

 

[onehitwanda]

Ultimately, Literotica is subject to the same firehose of slop that is drowning the Internet. Publishing their trigger metrics would simply lead to people circumventing them. This is one place where security through obscurity unfortunately is probably the best method for moderating incoming content.

Contrary to EB's advice, I suggest that you always submit your work in an uploaded file rather than cut-n-paste it, especially if you are receiving AI rejections.

I use Grammarly regularly, as well as the embedded spell check and grammar checking features in MS Word and have never had a story rejected for suspected AI, but I always upload the .docx file when submitting.

Feedback on a story is encouraging, but if the initial portions of your story sailed through the approval process, you might want to consider not breaking it up into parts. Submitting larger portions of it (preferably the completed work) would provide more words for analysis of potential AI involvement. The percentage of suspected AI involvement within a 10K word submission could be proportionately much higher than with a 50K word submission. We don't know what the percentage threshold is, but the larger the sample size, the better your chance of staying under it.

I think a lot of this comes down to how the tools are used. Grammarly, like Word’s grammar checker or even a human proofreader — helps catch mistakes or offer suggestions. If a writer uses it thoughtfully, reviewing and deciding what to change, the authorship still clearly belongs to the writer.

To me, there’s no meaningful difference between accepting a comma correction from Grammarly and getting the same note from a human editor. In both cases, the tool (human or software) is supporting the author, not replacing them.

The issue isn’t the tool itself, but whether it’s generating or replacing the writer’s voice. If the story is crafted by the author, and tools are just helping polish the result, I personally wouldn’t call that “AI-generated.”

I spent over two months writing my story, putting real thought and emotion into every scene, and to be told it’s AI-generated just because someone suspects I used Grammarly (which I didn’t) honestly feels like an insult. I completely respect the site’s right to set rules, but it’s discouraging when those rules dismiss real effort based on tools or assumptions.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I use RTF files and have never been rejected for AI use. When Grammarly suggests a change, wants the words in a different order, or changes a word from big to expansive, or other creative suggestions, I do the opposite of what it wants.

Look, I'm not trying to debate the policy with you. I didn't make it, I don't enforce it, I don't fully understand it. We get this question 5 times a day and I'm trying to do my part to spread what is known so the same 3 people don't have to always do it. It's a problem, but it's a bit of an unsolvable one with several layers of Catch-22's on both sides. Some people are bound to fall into one of the half dozen cracks created.

In any case, this thread is the best resource to help if you feel you've not got the answer yet. I recommend reading through the existing posts before posting yourself so you can see what the doc is and is not willing to help with, or if the information you need has already been provided there:

It would help us to assist you if you could post a few hundred words (or more) from the document that was rejected. Then we can see if there's anything in that screams AI on what any of us already know are triggers.

 

[RagnarHairyBreeches]

I was reading of how someone allowed ChatGBT, or some other such program, to write a novel for them. It was an experiment and I gather a lot of editing had to be done, but eventually it was published on Amazon. So, I guess it was a combined AI and human effort. I read some of it but had to gave it away on about page 2. It was so much like rubbish. All perfectly nice sentences that said next to nothing.

I expect as time goes by the 'skill' of the software will improve. Maybe it really will be able to create stories that are better than a human. If that actually happens, and the story is well crafted, is entertaining, then what's the problem? (Yes, I know there are issues with that, but from a reader's point of view, I can't see the issue.)

People will still write because they enjoy doing so. Readers will continue to read because they find it entertaining. Does it matter so much as to who/what does the writing?

Below is a randomly selected part. My total story word count is 13,748
This part is 1100 words. Thank you for so much attention. I needed this help

“You travel alone often?” the younger one asked.

I glanced around dramatically, then whispered like I was confessing a secret.
“Only when I need to... explore myself. It’s easier to go deep when there’s no one watching.”

The older doctor gave a nervous chuckle.
“But in a crowded train, you don’t really get the privacy to go… deep in thought, you meant?”

I turned toward him, my eyes wide with playful horror.
“Oh no no, don’t get the wrong idea. I meant deep in conversations.”
I paused, then added softly, “I enjoy going deep with strangers ... just mentally, of course.”

He cleared his throat, clearly not buying the innocence but unsure how to call it out.

“By no one watching, I just meant away from family,”
“They’re always checking on me. Asking questions. Watching my every move. Here, I can be... more open. Speak without filters & do what I want”

To show I meant it my comfort, my playfulness I gently placed a hand on each of their laps. A soft pat on their thighs. Not sexual. Not yet. Just reassurance. A teasing reminder that I wasn’t scared of closeness. Not anymore.

“That’s… healthy,” the younger one said, though he was now blinking too often.


He cleared his throat. “So... what exactly are you trying to measure in all this research?” he asked,

I smiled at him with mock seriousness.
“Human reaction to public discomfort... mixed with me staying wet and needy down there. How long can someone last while I sit beside them cleavage out, voice filthy, asking the kinds of questions that make their cocks twitch. All in the name of science.”

I paused, then chuckled softly.
“Sorry... that came out a little dirtier than I meant.”
“I’m just trying to create the right stimulus visual, verbal, emotional. My role in this is to keep the tension alive. On purpose. Just for research, of course.”

The younger one tried to keep his composure.

“Sounds… complex,” he said. “And you’re experimenting with this on yourself?”

I nodded slowly, letting my fingers trail along the metal rail beside my berth.
“Mmhmm. I’m aslo the subject. This ride itself? Just part of the experiment. And strangers?”
I looked at him, eyes twinkling.
“Well... they’re part of the experiment too. Especially the ones sitting really close.”

He looked away for a second, and I could tell he regretted the question already.

The older doctor shifted in his seat, adjusting his collar.
“So… you keep the tension alive on purpose. But what happens when someone finally snaps?”
He paused, then added quietly,
“I mean—when someone breaks?”

I smiled sweetly.
“Oh, then it gets messy.”
I leaned forward, letting the dress naturally fall just low enough.
“It’s like holding your breath under water. Sooner or later, the body takes over.”

Both were silent now. Rigid, still, pretending not to stare.

“That’s why I keep a notebook with me.” I said, reaching into my bag and pulling out a sleek notebook.
“They’ve asked me to document every reaction. Every glance. Every... accidental brush of skin even the ones that don’t feel so accidental.”

The younger one dared to ask, “Accidental?”

I raised a brow.
“Well… sometimes. But when someone breaks and their hand goes somewhere it shouldn’t… I don’t stop them.”
I smiled faintly.
“I just make a note of it.”
“Who’s to say what’s a mistake?”
I paused, then added with a small shrug,
“Whether it was a mistake or not—that’s for the researchers to figure out.”

I smiled, unfazed.
“My part isn’t to judge just to record. Every reaction, every move. Accidental or intentional, bold or shy… it all goes in the notes.”
I tapped the cover gently, eyes scanning both their faces.
“That’s the assignment.
I giggled, biting the edge of my pen.

The younger doctor tried to recover.

“That’s... quite a unique study. Must be exhausting, no?”

I leaned closer, lowering my voice like I was letting him in on something private.
“It is. Especially when I skip meals and still stay full. It Can Happen in a long ride like this”

“You mean motion sickness?” the older one asked.

I shook my head, lips curling.
“No. Sometimes it’s just... being stuffed. Like when something sits too heavy inside you, and won’t go down. Makes it hard to breathe.”

The younger one choked a little on his water. I pretended not to notice.

“That’s why I try to eat light,” I continued. “Small portions. Wet food. Things that slide in easily and don’t get stuck in the throat.”
I looked at both of them with wide eyes.
“Dry things make me gag. Can’t handle it.”

Silence.

“You should be careful with digestion,” the elder doctor offered awkwardly.

I smiled sweetly, tilting my head.
“Oh, I’m very careful. Especially with things I let inside my mouth.”
I paused, then added softly, “Some textures are hard to swallow... like raw eggs. Or worse sticky white things that shoot straight to the back.”

I bit my lower lip.
“You try to swallow, but it coats your throat… clings to everything. Even breathing feels different after.”

“I just love it,” I said, eyes soft, voice low.
“The thick, white kind that leaves a creamy layer on your tongue… cold at first, but then it melts in your throat.”
I let the pause linger, then added sweetly,
“With lassi ( sweet yogurt ), of course. No matter how much I get, I still crave more. Especially when it’s fresh… straight from the source.”

Their faces flushed in sync. I just smiled, tucking my hair behind my ear.

“Don’t overthink it! I meant dairy.”

I giggled, pretending to be embarrassed.

“God, I really have to work on my phrasing.”

I smiled sweetly.
“Don’t let your imaginations run wild, okay? I have this awful habit of choosing the worst words possible.”

The older doctor finally gathered his voice.
“Do you like any fruits? I mean… apart from lassi, of course.”

I giggled as I saw their faces growing stiffer than their postures.
“And of course… bananas,” I said, lowering my voice.

Their eyes locked onto me instantly.

“So soft when you first touch them… but you have to be careful how you handle them.”
I tilted my head playfully.
“If you squeeze too hard from the wrong end, they break before you even get a proper taste.”

The younger doctor blinked slowly.

“I like to peel mine slow,” I added, miming the motion with my fingers, deliberately slow.
“One layer at a time… watching it get naked. Then I hold it still, let it rest against my tongue… and only then, I start tasting.”

I looked at them, wide eyed, like I had just shared a recipe.

“It’s best when it’s just firm enough to fill your mouth... not mushy, not too hard. That perfect thickness.”
I bit my lower lip again.
“God, I always finish the whole thing. Sometimes without even chewing.”

The elder doctor shifted his legs. The younger one pretended to check his phone, his hand clearly unsteady.

“Don’t judge me!” I laughed, lightly touching my chest.
“I’m just a fruit addict. Nothing dirty about that, right?”

 

[RagnarHairyBreeches]

I didn’t get though all of what you’ve posted here.

I have to say that I’m envious of people who have a second language. English doesn’t seem to be your first. Well, that’s how the text reads to me. The material I did look at seemed stilted in places. Some of it made doubtful sense. Perhaps that’s why it was rejected and the assumption was that it was AI.

Things that seemed wrong, unusual, or odd to me included the following.

“I glanced around dramatically, then whispered like I was confessing a secret.” How does one glance dramatically? It’s not wrong, but it does seem an odd thing to say. Whispering might be related to a confession but not necessarily so. Confessions might be spoken aloud, even shouted. It's a small point on my part.

“playful horror.” I can see how that might be easily confused for AI. I'm aware of expressions such as bitter-sweet, but this comes across to me like saying you went to the movies and saw an enjoyable film that bored you.

“To show I meant it my comfort.” This is the sort of thing that leads me to think English is not your first language. Your meaning isn’t coming through. It’s like something a computer might have come up with using some random word generator.

“my playfulness I gently placed a hand on each of their laps.” Another unusual selection of words (my playfulness I gently). It’s unclear. How many laps (ie. people) are in this scene? It was my impression there were only two. So, this person is sitting between two others with a hand on each of their laps. That seems like an unusual scene.

“I smiled at him with mock seriousness.” Perhaps there’s nothing wrong there, but mock seriousness doesn’t come across so well. Then, if there’s a smile, unless it’s sarcastic, it doesn’t fit so well with seriousness. Perhaps it’s just me.

“I sit beside them cleavage out.” How does one have cleavage out? Did you mean cleavage exposed. It’s impossible for anyone to have cleavage out. People know that, computers not so much, and that may have been one of the flags that identified your text as AI.

“voice filthy.” Voices are not filthy. They might be gruff, raspy, soft, loud etc. It’s the words not the voice that might be filthy. Once again people know that, but AI might not.

“I looked at him, eyes twinkling.” One’s eyes might twinkle, but there’s no way one can make them twinkle on cue or even be aware it’s happening. It’s something other people would see. Another AI flag.

First of all, thank you for such a detailed and structured reply.
Yes, English isn’t my first language.
To be honest, I didn’t even realize that what I wrote was a mistake until you pointed it out. If I had used AI, that kind of mistake probably wouldn’t have been there, isn't that what AI does, remove mistakes like this
So clearly, that’s something I need to work on.
Either I improve my writing further, or I will take help from a good editor going forward.
Thanks again. Now I can see where I may have gone wrong.

 

[BobbyBrandt]

I use RTF files and have never been rejected for AI use. When Grammarly suggests a change, wants the words in a different order, or changes a word from big to expansive, or other creative suggestions, I do the opposite of what it wants.

I do the same with Grammarly. I'll let it find "then" versus "than", as an example, and correct those mistakes, but not much more.

You will find plenty of confirmation bias in this forum. A lot of people here see Laurel as infallible, so don't get disheartened by the response.

There are a few typos, awkward wording, a misplaced em dash, and a few other mistakes, judging by my quick read. In my experience, those are the kinds of mistakes AI doesn't make. The excerpt you posted reads like the work of a beginner writer, which is typical for Literotica, and certainly not a reason for your story to be rejected.
If you are enthusiastic about publishing here, then be persistent and try some of the approaches that users advised in this thread, but also take a look at many, many threads posted by other users who had the same problem. Try some options before you decide to give up and move to a different platform.

Yes, I am actively looking for advice I got here, and also reading other threads
Are there any other platforms for smut stories as good as LIT?

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

That excerpt is very stilted, halting and generally hard to read.

Classic example of someone who learned some English in school but doesn't use it every day.

Phrases like this don't even make sense: "I looked at them, wide eyed, like I had just shared a recipe." No one gets wide-eyed over a simple, common act like sharing a recipe.

I don't know any other languages, so I don't even attempt to use them.

Hell, I don't even know English too good, but it's all I got.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

As good as... nope. And this is coming from a person who is somewhat ostracized here for criticizing Literotica. Lit is the number one site for posting erotic stories, period. There are alternatives, but they are a step down one way or another, which doesn't mean you shouldn't try them out.

SOL - Stories Online
Lush Stories
AO3 - Archive of Our Own (This one is heavily oriented towards fanfic stories and has plenty of teenagers posting their gibberish there, but it has a large audience as well. It's by far the most chaotic of story websites)

I don't discuss other sites.

That's the issue here, I think. The extract is overwritten, one could highlight nearly every sentence to remove unnecessary words - which is a hallmark of AI content. @Five_Inch_Heels and @RagnarHairyBreeches highlight a sample of illogical or overblown sentence constructs, but there are many more. Not just a few, as you've suggested.

I do feel for ESL writers, not familiar enough with vernacular to know when to wind it back, but unfortunately this extract doesn't wind it back. I'm not surprised it's triggered whatever it is the site uses. Which might be Laurel's quick human eye scan, following on from content flagged by a bot, I don't know.

My recommendation to @Anjalisinha would be to (somehow) find a ruthless editor, someone not afraid to take the purple out of the prose, and challenge every sentence. A horrible prospect, for sure, not something that's easy to contemplate. I think the issue here is ESL, not AI, but the problem is, they can read the same.
