I could be wrong but it seems to me that Literotica used to have standards for writing skills. I don't mean story content but technical skills. I remember my first story being rejected because of a punctuation problem. Am I wrong?
I see stories today that are so poorly written I can't believe it. Constantly I see two or three people talking within one paragraph. I saw one story where the "writer" didn't use any quotation marks. He just started his dialogue with, he said or she said.
I see rambling, nonsensical sentences everywhere and other times, a sentence cut in half with a period and started again with a capital.
I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi here but I thought Lit had certain standards when it came to the stories submitted. Have they lowered those standards or I remembering wrong and they never existed in the first place?
