Frustrating.

My story I have tried to post several times has been rejected several times. It is a rewrite of one of my stories but due to the title being so similar they will not post it. I asked them to remove the original story and post the new one in its place. It has been rejected three times since. How blockheaded does a person have to be? I understand once, but three times? Do they even read the moderator comments?? How can I get this through to them so that I can post the story? I am running out of ideas here and am about to leave Literotica altogether and post elsewhere.

Thanks Ruben

I get hot-headed sometimes. I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

If it is a rewrite, submit it with the same title plus EDIT in the title.

Then, in the Notes to Editor box at the bottom of the submission page, add in a note that says "This is an EDITED story. Please replace the original text."

Adding an apology for slagging off the site editor (Laurel) might also be a good idea...

Oh, there's someone else here who is a little hot-headed too. You are not alone. Just grovel apologetically like I do after I lose it

Yeah

I know, and I am sorry. I just sometimes lack that all-important filter between my brain and my mouth. Sorry laurel.

And this, dear readers, is why all responsible Apache helicopter owners always surrender the keys to their dangerous toys to a responsible third party before logging onto Lit

You forgot the groveling...return to Go and try again

 

[stormyeyedone]

Groveling

Indeed.

 

[yukonnights]

Indeed.

Good to go! Pretty much a done deal now (note to self: copy image link for future groveling emergency)

lol. I'll see if I can find a good grovellingly apologetic one to share.

Here's my copy-paste, explaining the editing method for Lit in more detail.

• Take note of the url of your story/chapter. That's the address appearing in the address bar of your browser when you view the first page of your story. You really only need the last part after the /s/ that represents your title.
• Start a new submission.
• Use the same title as the original ( or as much as will fit ) plus something such as *EDIT*
• Fill in the same category, then fill description and keywords with placeholders, as they don't matter. ( Unless one of these things are what you're editing )
• If editing the story text, paste/upload the new text in the "story text" section. You need to upload the whole story/chapter, not just the edited sections. If editing anything else, copy the "notes" section detailed below in order to fill this section.
• In the "notes" section, say what you are editing. If story text, then put that. If title, then put the requested NEW title here. You can fill in edited descriptions/keywords/category above, but you'll still want to list any such changes here. It's a good idea to list the url that I mentioned in step 1. This is unique to every story/chapter, and can help eliminate the potential for human error. As mentioned above, if you are editing something other than the story text, copy what you put in the notes section to the "story text" as well. This is simply because there must be something in that section for you to submit.
• Click "Review", then "Submit"

Edits are subject to the same wait time as a new story, and aren't prioritized, so they may actually take longer. I have seen edits go up in bulk in far less time than a story usually requires to post, though. Depends upon Laurel's workload, I should imagine.

Edits will not appear on the public side immediately. Wait at least 24 hours after the "edited" submission vanishes from your private author list before worrying that your changes haven't been applied. Changes may not all appear at the same time, either. Page 1 may change, while page 2 will remain the same until an hour or so later. Be patient as the system catches up.

If you edit the story in this manner ( as opposed to deleting and re-submitting ) you'll retain your votes, views, comments, etc. The only thing that will be changed is what you say that you want changed. It will not appear on the New List again.

If you wish to delete a story, use much the same method, except put something such as *DELETE* in the title, and say that you want to delete the story in question in the "notes" section.

If you wish to delete all of your stories, an entire series, etc., then use the normal delete process, but explain in the "notes" section that you want to do a mass delete, and what type.

Convoluted, but it does work. It gets a little easier as you get used to it.

Thanks

Thanks Reality. I've cooled down and honestly feel really bad right now. Again, sorry Laurel. Thanks for the suggestions, but I've tried new submissions using the same title asking for those particular stories to be removed entirely and the new one put in place. If that does not work, I'll just go down your list until I somehow maybe accidentally get it right, lol.

Like I said, I am a bit hot-headed at times and my mouth engages before my brain. Not the most endearing habit. I really don't want to leave here because I love the community. Thanks guys for your input (and helping me cool my heels). Also, once again, I am sorry Laurel.

This. 100 times, this.
