Newest Story about to publish - mystery text in story text box?

[Naughtylit81]

My latest story looks to go live tomorrow. Yay!

When I checked it in pending there is text, about 1.5K words forming something of a story. Problem is it isn't mine.

Anyone ever seen this before? Is my story going to publish or is this mystery text going to publish?

I had someone else's story get published by mistake under my name, though I didn't find out about it until it was published (so I don't know about what was in Pending). Make sure to check first thing tomorrow and if it's the wrong story PM Laurel right away and she'll have it taken down. You might have to resubmit your story.

Thanks. I am likely to be up when it goes live so I can check it then.

Good to know I am not special in a uniquely bad way.

Other writers have occasionally reported similar things - looks like a copy-and-paste error somewhere in the moderation process, and it will probably publish with the wrong text. I'd suggest PMing @Laurel about it.

So the story that published was indeed not mine. Fortunately Laurel took it down and because I had put the right story back in the queue she was able to push that forward to go up tomorrow. I verified the corrent story is getting published so good resolution!

Glad everything worked out for you, and so quickly.
