Which?
In discussing stories possibly rejected due to the use of Grammarly or similar, uploaded stories seem to pass, while pasted in the field stories don't. It's not conclusive, but it might be worth a try.
No one really knows Laurel's process, but uploading a document instead of copy-pasting text should make a lot of difference. I write in Word, and I always upload a docx file instead of copy-pasting into the textbox. I'll show you a screenshot of one of my stories after clicking Properties and then Details.
That's an interesting thought.
We cannot know that for sure, but one wonders whether the site tracks how many times you've saved an online draft when you're not uploading a file. As a weak data point, I always do my final editing pass or two by reading the story in the preview; I have yet to get an AI rejection.
Exactly. I have gone back through many of the AI rejection threads and do not see one single instance where someone claims that an uploaded file got rejected versus all of those who pasted into the field on the submission form.
I sometimes paste finished text into a new Word doc, which won't show a long editing history. Even with that, no AI rejections.
I have never uploaded a file and after and not one of my 150 submissions has been rejected for AI. It may be the program figures an AI program would not write in that screwed up manner. Who knows.
True. I assume your work never raised any red flags. But for those whose work does raise Laurel's suspicions, bits of evidence such as what I showed might help. Or maybe they don't, I don't know for sure. What is certain is that there is no harm in trying to upload a story that way, IF the story was previously rejected. It could help. It's worth a try at least.
