Can someone give me a clue?

[nakdsub]

I helped a, first time, writer with his story. It is the story of a paraplegic who has never experienced sex in any form. His live in care giver feels sorry for him and lets him service her orally.
The story has no violence, no incest, no underage characters, and yet, the writer just informed me that they rejected his story?

I asked him to write me with the reasons, but in the mean time, I wondered if someone here could give me any clues.

Without knowing what Lit told the writer, there's no way to know. Underage sex is the big no-no, but that doesn't sound like the issue here. Stories can be rejected on mechanical issues like spelling or punctuation among other things, but until he tells you -- and without knowing more about the story -- there's way too many possibilities to narrow it down.

As PL said, without seeing the actual rejection statement it is impossible to know the precise reason. If I had to speculate, I would guess that the story was scanned quickly by the reviewer, who may have misinterpreted the sex between the characters as a non-consensual rape. If that's the case, an explanation in the author's note box may solve the problem. But until the precise language of the rejection is specified, this is nothing more than speculation.

Thanks...

I'll just have to wait and see what he says about the reasons. There is no way anyone could interpret it as non-consensual, half the story builds on the patients excitement. The author did mention he made some revisions to the end of the story after I sent it back, but I wouldn't think he did anything so drastic as to get it bounced.
Thanks again.

As PL and soflab say, without reading lit's reasons for rejection it is hard to comment.

Just picking up on a point, is it possible a quick or bot review could have flagged a problem between the protag and the live-in care provider?

 

[nakdsub]

I don't think so

I'm waiting to hear back from the author. I've had a lot of stories post here and thought I was pretty familiar with the reason for rejection. For the life of me, I can't think of a single thing in the story.
I thought it must have something to do with the fact that he's a paraplegic, but I've seen stories like that before, hell, I even wrote one.
I just can't figure it.

Okay, mystery solved...

They bounced it because they could not open the file. Sorry to waste everyone's time. I should have waited. I told him to copy & paste his next submission.

LOL That's okay. Glad it's something minor (or likely to be).

It can't have anything to do with minors

It can have minors, just no minors in sexual situations. That would be major.

 

[nakdsub]

Now you have me confused...

is it a major minor, or a minor major? Wait, I think I had that same question in music class one time.

 

[Feotakahari]

I'm curious: what was the title of this story? It sounds like it might actually be interesting?

 

[nakdsub]

The title is...

"Karen's passionate affair." It's written by Wheelchairman85. It is currently running on SOL on the second page of "new stories."

If you like that kind of story, I wrote one that was inspired by Wheelchairman85. It's called, "Welcome Home," and is under my list of stories posted here.

Each time I read "Can someone give me a clue?" I want to reply with something like "It's bigger than a breadbox . . ."

Sorry, I couldn't resist any longer.

I think a better come back is...

It smells like fish!

It smells like fish!

Indeed.

Mm. A major general oversight indeed, to have an overlaid minor. A minor pinned under another would provide the underpinnings of dissension, not to mention rejection upon reflection. Of course, only should there be sexual congress, I must digress to impress on the reader. If it should remain platonic, then only the laconic would frown upon it, but even then only briefly and because chiefly it gives them something short to say.

Anyway, the point is moot; it got the boot not for what it said, we read, but in actuality a technicality made it hit the Lit. bit bucket, fuck it! Though I hear it is near, no fear, soon to join stories with flair. A wheelchair, a nurse fair. I suppose the guy will stay in his clothes, I mean, his cock is in permanent repose. I guess his mouth will head south. Ooh, with her dress lifted they get started, her legs parted. I can almost see his tongue spread her lips pink. We need a link posted for this story in its glory; I want to read it I think.

{now, where did I leave my meds...}

Indeed. But you know that your post would actually work in a musical play or a children's story (for adults)?

Reminds me of a Niel Gaiman quote, "It's sort of a silly poem, but a hell of a lot of fun to read aloud."

I would have posted sooner...

This made me LMAO!!! I bow to the master.
