Anyone suggest what happened?

[Shyee]

Recently, I've tried to post another chapter of my story but it came back rejected with this attached to it...

Were there any serious errors in punctuation or formatting (i.e. submitted in all capital letters, capitalization errors, etc.)?



Problem with that problem, I did have a editor check it over. So, would anyone have any ideas what I'm missing? I've gone over it slowly to try to find what the problem is, I can't see it. If anyone can tell me what to look out for in it, it would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Shyee

Without seeing the story it would be difficult to know what's wrong.


This link from the FAQs might help.

Or this one.

How many words is it? I might be able to scan through it if it isn't too long.

When you previewed it, it hadn't slipped into all caps, right? And you didn't "scream" a lot of words in the text (rendering them in all caps), right? The rejection you got gave you some hint what the mechanical checker considered as capping problems. (You did cap the first word of every sentence, right?)

If you are content that it doesn't really have any capitalization problems (which might well be the case), you could just resubmit and put a comment in the "notes" box that it was originally rejecting for possible capitalizaiton problems, but you don't see any capitalization problems. What putting a note in the notes box does is pull the story up for a human editor to look at it. If she agrees there aren't a significant number of capitalization problems, she'll push it on through (but you'll have to wait the entire waiting period again for an editor to look at it).

What you might do before that is notify the editor who worked on it that it's been rejected and send a copy of the rejected version back to the editor and give him/her a chance to ensure there are no capitalization problems in it.

If you continue to have problems after a second round, it might be time to question whether your editor is a dud or not.

I went thru it again just now and I don't see anything that's cap'ed except for at the start of sentances and names. I went thru it slowly and saw the punctuation was correct from the last one. From here, nothing seems out of place.

And for the human editor to read it, I think they do already due to having italics in it, so use the browser to post it instead of cut and paste.

If I can't find it myself, I'll send it back to PL to see if she can find the problem. She already sent me a message about it but hopefully I can find it before sending it back. It's already been a headache for her. I'm a nightmare writer to work with.. lol

Thanks for telling me what to look out for and hopefully I can find it.
