I have just had the 2nd part of my story "Fucked Stupid" (https://www.literotica.com/s/fucked-stupid - under Mind Control) rejected with the note:
Please remove email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, usernames, real names, or other identifying information from story, or change them to pseudonyms or obviously fake information.
Since there are no real names, email addresses etc in the submission, it seems that they have misunderstood my tongue-in-cheek "author's note" at the beginning. To explain, while writing the second part, I decided I was unhappy with the original name I had chosen for the antagonist, and, since I'd like to write more about her in future, I would change it to one that worked for me. I submitted an edited version of the first part with some improvements and her new name, which has already been published. Since it's an odd thing to go doing and I was concerned about readers of the original first part coming to the second instalment and wondering where she had gone, I decided I'd write a jokey author's note explaining it as follows:
Author’s Note:
For those of you who read the first chapter prior to its resubmission and are wondering where Nikita has gone, let me explain that it became clear to me after publishing the first part of my report that not only had she attempted to seduce me, but she had also deceived me as to her real name. At some personal risk, I have decided to reveal that her name is in fact Valeria. From here on, she will be referred to by her real name. She has warned me that, by revealing her modus operandi, not only am I likely to become another victim, but that she may go after those readers who choose to post comments. I urge you to be wary: use a VPN and keep a gun or male chastity belt close at hand. After reading, should a beautiful young woman knock on your door unexpectedly late at night, or invite you into one of the other changing rooms for a quick fuck while you wait for your wife/girlfriend, question if it might just be too good to be true.
I assume that the rejection means the Literotica staff have taken it seriously. I'd like to keep things as is, rather than go about trying a further edit. Pointing out it's a joke rather spoils the effect. I find it hard to believe that any Literotica reader is going to have any way of identifying a real person based on the name Valeria, particularly considering she is a fictional character. What are my options?
