REJECTION - Urgent: Editor (politely) requested for Summer Lovin 2020 story! HALP!

Hey nice editor people who we love and need so much!

I have just composed what I feel is my own personal magnum opus of incest erotica for the Summer Lovin 2020 contest, but it was sent back for 'possible underage sex'. That initial judgment is incorrect, but I do kind of describe a little bit of my character's coming-of-age. None of it involves sex, the description of sex, or anything, but I just need somebody to quickly flick through those first couple parts and tell me what I did to bring up this warning. All people in the story having any kind of sex are clearly listed as over-18.

Takers? I'll be your friend!!!

Please!

-Holly

Please let me know what I need to do, I'll be checking all day and night!

It's common for stories here to be rejected on a false impression from just a cursory scan that they include underage material (it's happened to me a few times and the stories have always been posted eventually without change). If you truly believe there's no underage sex in it (voyeur is sex), while you're waiting to see if anyone can look at it for you, you might try refiling with a note in the notes box that you see no underage in it and, if Laurel does, could she point it out to you. That's always worked for me. You may not need anyone to look at it for it to get through.

Another author had a similar issue. He had 3 references to elementary school. All were flashbacks adn none occured near sex. A simple note saying there is reference to people under age who do not engage in adult acctivity was enough to get it past.
