Aight homies.
You clicked, I’m talkin’. Let’s jump in.
By now, anyone who even casually browses the forum has seen the flood of posts about stories being rejected for AI, or stories stuck in queue limbo for days, weeks, and even months.
We’ve all heard about stories getting posted almost instantly, while others rot unseen.
Many theorize it’s some sort of bug or glitch. That their story just vanished into the void.
I’m going to share a different theory on what the problem is.
Because there is no glitch.
The story queue isn’t being moderated.
It’s being curated.
Between 12/04 and 12/10, 1,144 stories were published across 29 categories. Take a look at how many stories have been posted in each category for the past week, and compare to your experience.
Submitted to the First Time category and still waiting two weeks later? Well, that might be because so few stories in that category are published daily. Or were you someone who submitted to, say, Erotic Couplings, and found your story posted within a day or two?
Here’s the deal. Those little story stat icons? You think they’re just for authors to feel good?
Nah, bro.
They’re internal metrics for the site. They’re tracking what gets clicks.
What gets read.
And what brings in the money.
It’s business.
And your long, heartfelt slow-burn lesbian romance with deep character work?
Yeah. That’s getting sidelined for whatever other story the stats say is more likely to get clicks.
Notice how the Novels and Novellas category is capped at 3-5 stories published per day. You think it’s because that category somehow receives exactly 3-5 submissions daily?
Come on now.
After taking a look at the stats in that category, it's easy to see that its intentionally being throttled because the stories there just don't get views.
Take a look for yourself:
Most of those stories are getting just a few hundred views at most.
Listen, when I submitted my story on 12/04, it was approved within 6 hours.
Why?
Because my story was a satirical takedown of gay erotica tropes.
It was funny as hell.
I knew it. And so did the person who read it.
So they fast-tracked it, knowing it would get views.
And it did.
Notice how most of the stories in Gay Male have thousands of views compared to just the few hundreds in Novels and Novellas?
Is it any surprise then, when one category is more heavily published over the other?
And save the lazy argument of, “Well, that just means it gets more submissions.” High view counts don’t automatically translate into drastically higher submission rates. There’s no direct link between how many people read a category and how many authors submit to it.
It doesn’t work like that.
But all that aside, those few thousand views on those stories in the Gay Male category?
Bruh.
They ain't shit compared to the top dog on this godforsaken site.
That crown belongs to Taboo/Incest.
My jaw about hit the damn floor when I clicked on that category and saw those view counts. There were stories with fifty thousand views.
Fifty. Thousand.
Holy-fuck-your-mama-moly-Jesus-Joseph-and-Mary, man.
It's kind of funny though, when you think about it.
Literotica is nothing but a bunch of motherfuckers.
Literally.
So if you're still wondering, “Why is my story stuck in pending?” or “Why did someone else’s go live in hours?”
The answer’s simple: You’re not in a queue. You’re in a content triage system.
Stories that resemble previous high-performers are fast-tracked.
Categories that consistently draw traffic are cleared daily, while niche, slow-burn, or long-form fiction gets benched.
And if your timer resets?
That’s because someone opened your story… and didn’t think it would pull views.
This isn’t a conspiracy. This is data.
And if there’s one thing we can confirm, it's that on Literotica, Incest is Best.
You’re not cursed. There is no glitch.
You’re just not Daddy.
And this site?
It loves Daddy.
