A brand NEW freaking Bug

[DEFCOM5]

I have a published story that is now in Pending. WTF?

It has a score, vote and comments.

Any idea what this happened?

How long has it been like that?

That's not a bug. Your story is scheduled to be published on 10/28; it hasn't been published yet.

Since about 30 minutes ago

Then how do you explain it has views, votes and a comment?

It was originally published on the 26.

How else could I have included it in my signature?

 

[TheLobster]

...Wait, you're right. I've seen my stories in this state so many times that it didn't even register to me it does have views and comments.

Well, that's worrying. Seems like even after publication, our stories are no longer safe from rejection

Notice the publication date is tomorrow. I assumed it was posted and came back?

Not sure why they pulled it back. It's not for an event, is it? I had a Crime and Punishment story get published and then pulled back until the event stories went live. That story was officially birthed with a red H (I had gotten ten votes before it was retracted by the site).

Yes. But why? It is a satire and from the vote, you can see it is not a story to jerk off to.

I am just trying to skewer some tropes I don't like

It is not for a contest. It is a stand alone story I got inspired by a discussion thread on this site

This is a weird one, for sure. I will assume it will re-appear tomorrow when the date now says.

I hope but I have read post complaining that stories did not get published past their publishing date

I would like to know why it was pulled back and then republished.

If you read it, you know it is not AI (not good enough) and there is nothing in it that has not been published here ten of thousands of time

I think it's unlikely to have been pulled back for the story itself. More likely user (Laurel) error, where the wrong story got set to publish tomorrow.

The only person who can answer that is Laurel.

Just speculation based on the screenshot, but I wonder if it was flagged for scrutiny for its subject matter, i.e. being actually about Literotica. I have no idea how common such stories are, but could it be that it was pushed through with a cursory look like most stories, then Laurel noticed its subject and decided to pull it back for a closer look?

FYI, this forum blocks Imgur photos from appearing inline. I believe this is part of their "no nudies" enforcement. You could download the screencap and paste it into a message directly.

OTOH, it wasn't that big a deal to click the blank white rectangle.

I can see the picture inline just fine, using the classic layout on mobile.

One would think that they would have looked at it before publishing it the first time.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I'd suspect that it was reported by someone as having been written by AI. They pulled it, reviewed it, and determined it wasn't. But that's just me.

 

[DEFCOM5]

The link to the story in your signature works just fine, and it’s also visible in your story list. It’s only your control panel that’s glitching; don’t worry about it.

Glad it is still visible not that Humor/satire get many views.

Basically, the control panel has another bug.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Then again, the tagline might have been enough.

One would think. But unfortunately one has no idea what they're doing over there

Good to know

The preview worked for me so I thought it would work for everyone

Trust me, if you read it, this is not of AI quality. Yes I had a great beta reader (@Djmac1031), but it is not that great prose.

Again, check it before publishing it rather that doing a pull back and republish

 

[AwkwardMD]

Lit doesn't pull stories for content. They reject stories for content. Scans like a glitch. See how it is tomorrow.
