New member, first story.

I submitted this story but it’s been declined twice and to be honest I don’t know what I need to do to get it approved.

I hope you can view it.

Any feedback on the story OR what is wrong with it would be appreciated.

You can’t link to your drafts like that. What did the rejection notes say?

 

[M_D_M]

• Dialogues missing ending punctuation. -> Please fix the punctuation of your dialogue. The convention is you include periods, commas, exclamation points, or question marks inside the quotes with no space between the ending punctuation and the quotation mark. The essay "How to Make Characters Talk" in our Writer's Resources section has more information on the paragraph formatting of dialogue if you have further questions: https://www.literotica.com/s/how-to-make-characters-talk

But I don’t really understand what it means

“It means you write dialogue like this,” he said.

“Like this?” she asked.

“Yes!” he exclaimed. “Just like that!”

That’s what I thought and I’ve went through the draft tidying things up….but it was rejected again

I’ve used Word, and sent it through email and used their checks. Still no good….

Did the second rejection still mention dialogue punctuation? Or was it for a different reason?

Both rejections had the same message. I put in a note to admin with the second submission saying I’ve tried to fix it but don’t understand where the problem is….but I just got the same failure message☹

Nice comment submitted anonymously. Not very welcoming :

If you write things like "I have went" you don't know basic grammar and it seems you don't know basic punctuation either.

I suggest you step back from the porn, do some research on the basics of writing and try again. This site will not accept semi-literate stories.

Well that was unnecessarily rude! I can take a look if you want, send me a PM and I’ll send you my email. I’m not native English speaker so I can hardly help with the language, but maybe I can spot the problem anyway.
