Welcome to Lit. PepperM. There is always a reason given. It says "pending" and then it says "rejected". When you click on "rejected" to find out why, it doesn't say; it asks a question such as "Did the story contain sex with underage participants?" and that would be the reason.
Thanx, Boxlicker, but This is all there was, nothing except a black dot in between the two paragraphs.

I've never seen one like that. Usually they give a reason. If you post it here maybe I can spot something. Are you familiar with the restrictions?

I did actually get the "black dot" response myself recently. In my case, I believe it was because I didn't put (EDITED) in the title for an edited story formerly submitted; it's now been accepted. Obviously this isn't Pepper's problem, but I was surprised myself to have nothing but a black dot for a "reason for rejection."

I haven't had anything rejected for a while. I will watch for that the next time it happens.
I like the AV also but I will have to change it next month.

Here's the whole thing, Boxlicker, I contacted one of the volunteer editors and they agreed to take a look at it and help if they could.

Thanks for the encouragement, though, maybe I can get it fixed, though it will be too late for the Halloween contest, I had just barely gotten it in under the wire the first time. Oh, well, there's always next year!

Hi, Pepper. I read the story and I noticed you changed from past to present tense a few times. Generally, it is better to stick with past tense although some prefer to use the present tense. However you do it, stick to one.Some shorter sentences choud have been combined into complex or compound sentences to make the story flow better. You also begin too many sentences with "I" or "It". This gets to be something of what I call a "speed bump" when you do this. More complex sentences and starting them with gerundial phrases would help.
All-in-all, it was quite entertaining and I'm sorry I didn't get to it before the end of the Halloween contest.
