is the one you dn't ask! I've had one story rejected because the editor misread or misunderstood what I was saying. I had two characters in their teens and they kissed in the back of a van. There wasn't any sex, just kissing but it was rejected anyway. I edited that part and took out that they were seniors in high school and then it was accepted. A friend had a story rejected because of too many misspelled words. They weren't actually misspelled she was just trying to type the words like the character would say them. she resubmitted the story with a note to the editor about this concern and then her story was accepted.
I'm finding out it all depends on the editor one gets in the review process, or perhaps they are just cracking down on the grammar of newer stories. hope this helped some.

Her(his) story is Light the Night on Fire.
I'm going to save it for later, been up writing, editing and reading since 9am yesterday morning and I need to get some sleep before the sun rises again.
Make the corrections in your orignal, then submit a story with the same name as he sory to be edited plus "-- EDIT --" eg to edit "My story" submit "My Story -- EDITED --"I went back and read it and found some tense mistakes. When I wrote it, I went from "he" to "you" and then had to go back and switch everything....then decided I wanted "he" again, but was too lazy to go and correct everything again. In the mix up though, I noticed I missed a couple "he's." How would I go correct that, or is it final? I also caught some spacing errors... I'm one of "those" people that having those in there will drive me bananas!
