Unfortunately, prior success doesn't guarantee repeat success. I suspect your text contains legacy traces of those AI tools being used, and your story may be triggering a detector.
More than likely, you either got lucky or got the benefit of the doubt on the three chapters that were published. Using AI is against the site's publishing guidelines and your new stuff is likely suspected. Or basically confirmed, if the editor happens to read this thread.
While that is true I have also mentioned the same thing in authors comments to the editor in all 12 chaptees including the 3 that got published
Okay I do write in short sentences that could be the issue and I used quillbot for editting
Wait. There's only one person reviewing and approving all stories posted to Lit?
It's been that way since I started writing here in 2001 and I haven't seen anything on the site that would indicate the situation has changed. I do believe she uses some specific software that looks for major punctuation errors, site rule violations, and obvious usage of AI to generate the story, but it a story makes it through that, it's Laurel's decision.
Okay I didn't know that I was under the impression that a team of 10-15 editors sit and read the stories getting uploaded and not the owner. Yes sending 11 stories is a little much but getting 2 uploads a week shouldn't push any other author down. And after these get uploaded I will revert to weekly uploads as the story I have written is already 70ish chapters in.
There are certainly other people involved in running the site, but AFAIK Laurel is the only one screening stories.
It would not surprise me if she has trusted confidents who she has double check some decisions. And Manu having a paid sidekick (or two) makes sense. I would love for it to be true that there is actually a team under Laurel, but every indication I have seen is that it is not true. With just Laurel, I worry about what will happen in the eventuality that she is no longer involved. Succession will be even harder because I assume that Manu (and others?) have tailored the processing chain to match her personal working style, maximizing her productivity, but possibly hindering any possible successor's
It doesn't matter what AI checkers you might use, the fact remains you're content isn't getting through whatever the process the site uses. You're not alone in that, but by the same token, some 200 or stories are being published daily, so that content is passing whatever tests are in place.
Save your draft as .txt or .rtf, which I think strips any html out. Then copy paste into the text box, and submit that. You might have hidden artefacts in your doc copy which might be triggering the site's AI detector. Saving in a simple format then copy paste might solve your problem. No guarantee, but worth a try.
