Multiple stories published by same 'new' authors

[astuffedshirt_perv]

A lot has been made about the long and inexpicable wait times for publishing, and the mysterious rejections for alleged use of AI. But I wanted to delve into a different topic, one that I have never seen here on Lit--newish authors getting several stories up in the same day. Go to Lesbian for example. Or EX&V. It's not bad, it's wierd. What are their secrets? How are they just waltzing in here and hitting the submission lottery over and over? I'd never observed this type of thing a decade ago...

Maybe they are the disciples of SamuelX?

Lots of possibilities.

1. Long-time hobbyist writer who never tried publishing and has a backlog on their hard drive.
2. Veteran of some other platform bringing their stuff to Literotica for the first time.
3. Literotica veteran who abandoned their old account and started a new one.
4. Literotica veteran who has two accounts going at the same time for different types of stories.
5. AI user who found the LLM and set of prompts that consistently fool Lit's filters.

Some writers here are prolific and reliable to a degree that professionals and their publishers would envy. Some have just one or two stories in them and that's it. Who knows?

Is it possible they're joining and dumping their entire catalogue from another site into LitE? So it looks to you like they're "hitting the lottery" but in reality it's that they submitted a dozen things on the same day and didn't get nabbed by pending.
I had one AI rejection late last year, hadn't submitted anything for a while, then came back and dropped a novella and a multipart story on the same day. They were both approved within hours, though the multiparter was then trickled out for actual publication. I can't have been on a whitelist, since my previous submission was NOT approved.

So obviously sometimes it's possible to get through the line quickly even without established bona fides.

I've noticed one author (name new to me) who's published numerous stories each day for the last few days. I just looked at several and they're very short. It's perfectly possible to write a lot of those and submit them, without supposing anything unusual.

As far as I know - from my small experience submitting, and from reading in this forum - there is no general problem in submitting. You submit, and mostly it gets published a couple of days later. A few people are reporting severe delays, and a few people are reporting unwarranted rejections. Let's assume there are more AI-like and less AI-like writing styles. A writer whose style doesn't trigger such rejections could continue to publish repeatedly without seeing any problems.

In 2024’s 750 word event, I published a daily story for twenty days. And 750 word stories actually take quite a lot of effort.

If you're deliberately trying to fit a full arc into near-exactly 750 words, sure.

If you're writing a one-off, sex scene only, short piece and it wraps at between 750-1000 words? You could probably knock that out in an hour or less.

It’s me - I like a challenge…
