Rejection

[YmaOHyd]

That's fair. But again, the OP complained about the mystery of his story getting rejected. @MillieDynamite used a tool to try to explain why. I still disagree that she was in the wrong to do so.

It's not like she's going around on some spree of randomly analyzing people's stories just to call them out on poor grammar.

No, and I don't want to make this about Millie or this specific incident at all. This to me is more about the brave new world we're in. My work is my work. If someone were to submit it to a service under their own name, they're accepting the terms and conditions of that service as they apply to my work. In effect, they're taking ownership of my property. In a world where there's a dozen or more companies frantically hoovering up as much writing as they can, I'm not comfortable with that, especially when the service in question isn't replacing Mk. I Eyeballs at the level of fidelity Literotica uses.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I wish you luck...

I think I'm done with this, if this site wants to publish my stuff then fine, but either way for some people just enjoy being ................ Hope this grammar, punctuations are enough to understand what I meant..

 

[Nazgul1716]

Since it's becoming increasingly clear that they have issues reading English, never mind writing it, that seems to be a safe bet.

Like I'm writing this in some alien language, should I spell something out for you. __ ----___, go ahead guess that.

Can you clarify your position? I ask genuinely.

Absolutely.

Is your problem that some company using the AI will have access to the document submitted? Because I'm sure you don't think that AI can't access documents already publicly available anyway.

This is kinda like saying "Every construction site in the world has bricks, so stores should stop selling items since people could just break in and steal stuff anyway."

I understand that you're probably coming at it more from the side of "I just don't care to fight this anymore" and that's understandable, but there are copyrights involved here. I don't want my copyrighted work fed into the copyright infringement speedrun machine any more than necessary, and ideally not at all.

Is your problem that the company itself uses AI at all? If so, where do you draw the line in 2025? Google Docs analyzes my writing and tells me if I've used the wrong tense on a word. That clearly must count as AI - is copying someone's document into Google Docs to check it for errors the same thing in your opinion?

Not all computer stuff is AI. Sometimes a spellcheck is just a spellcheck. GoogleDocs does not offer a comprehensive analysis like the one Millie screenshotted. I can't argue with you on Google being a nightmare of data mining, but I think we can all agree that our own works, our own intellectual properties, are ours to do with as we please and are not the property of others simply because we choose not the charge a fee to allow others access.

@AwkwardMD, I have only the basic version of AutoCrit, their generative AI is called Studio, and cost extra. I don't use Studio, I don't use AI to write for me. I use as comparison tool to find slow paced paragraphs, to sort out when I have to many sentences that open with a name or pronoun, or repeat myself to much. It's a tool it doesn't write or rework a fucking thing. My point to the OP, was that her writing needs to improve.

Maybe she is looking to copyright my stuff

 

[AwkwardMD]

This is from the submission page.



Nazgul1716's work, by virtue of its having been published by Literotica, is copyrighted to Nazgul1716. Nobody else should be doing anything with other people's work. We just need to respect each other.

Here's why my followers, understand a different kind of English.

What you do with your own work is your business. You can use whatever tool you like. You didn't need a tool like this to analyze someone else's work. In the future, please respect your peers.

 

[MillieDynamite]

No, I wouldn't do that because that would be wrong. I was looking for a way to help you, without actually offering to edit your work.

Maybe she is looking to copyright my stuff

 

[Nazgul1716]

I implore you to remember the first rule of holes.

Why if you so confident talking about stuff, without knowing the basic questions that I asked, why you so defensive.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Everyone have a good night. I'm out of here.

 

[Nazgul1716]

Is there a way to delete this thread, as it's not getting me anywhere

 

[AwkwardMD]

Here's why my followers, understand a different kind of English.

Clearly your work is connecting to an audience. Good for you. There's room for everyone's kink (within reason) and writing levels on Literotica. I'm still not convinced you actually got an AI rejection, because the screenshots you posted earlier in the thread are from the submission page, not the rejection notice, but I sincerely hope you keep creating and writing.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Actually, you said you'd like to ask a question of Laruel and Manue, but you never asked a question in that opening post.

Why if you so confident talking about stuff, without knowing the basic questions that I asked, why you so defensive.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Okay, again, goodnight all!

 

[Nazgul1716]

Everyone have a good night. I'm out of here.

Thank you, and wish you well.

Thanks, sorry you had to get involved and ruin your Thursday evening or early Friday morning.

If you decide you want to still try to publish through Literotica and are receiving rejections, PM me. I'll see if I can help you.

The rejection stated use of grammerly, AI and a whole bunch of names,

If you decide you want to still try to publish through Literotica and are receiving rejections, PM me. I'll see if I can help you.

Will do, but I haven't faced rejections except for the ones I've mentioned, they still pending, as I resubmitted them, I'll reach out to you with something concrete if I do get a rejection, thanks once again.

@Nazgul1716 I mean this with no personal malice and apologise for using you as an example in this way

Having just attempted to make sense of the 16 stories you have had published to date I can certainly begin to understand the chaos that the publishers of content on this site are up against

I’ll back you that there’s not a chance in the world you’ve used AI as there’d have to be some intriguing prompts entered into any AI to come up with such discombobulated prose, poor grammar and spelling issues in the subject matter that you have presented.

None of this is your fault, you’re just doing your thing, but if your content is symptomatic of a percentage of the deluge being submitted to Lit towers daily then they have my every sympathy. You shed very different lights on what’s being faced, what’s being missed/ overlooked and what’s likely contributing to the problems being faced at the moment

Problems that are possible root causes to the gripes and concerns surrounding delays in submissions and the scrutiny of possible AI content from authors writing in good faith.

All of which leads to Authors experiencing delays in having their carefully crafted work published in a timely fashion

You’ve had 4 story’s publish in the last 8 days all of which are littered with poor levels of punctuation, spelling and that’s before considering the incomprehensible at times content. Given the challenges authors are facing currently a story published every other day is an impressive strike rate around these parts.

So from a certain point of view you are simultaneously debunking the theories of every submission being personally read by anyone at the top at Lit and that there’s a black hole in submissions.

With my sympathy’s that you’ve a grievance at the one rejection that you have experienced, but the reasons seem valid and justifiable

Sadly based on what I’ve seen your expectation should have been managed some time ago in terms of acceptable/credible content worthy of being published.



Heaven help the future of all of us and this site if this is symptomatic of the balance between quantity and quality

The same people that are being unjustifiably attacked are clearly really up against it in respect to their attempts to uphold the integrity and credibility of Literotica




(PS. I don’t expect you to have taken on board a word of what I’ve just bothered to suggest and look forward to your latest threat via private message)

 

[Djmac1031]

I'll challenge you I'll make that better

Challenge accepted.

Your version:

Here is my story, from being a virgin to a slut and getting my family members to join in at times. My mom, Sheetal (49), was a typical housewife; her previous daily routine was going to the temple, cooking our meals and taking care of the household chores, while my dad, Gopal (52), worked as a mechanic at the nearby auto company. My brother, Rohan (25), too followed in his footsteps, and they used to leave our home by 8 am and return back by 7 pm on weekdays. Our family wasn't too rich, but we still had a happy and contented life till I took my first job and changed our lives.

My version:

Here is the story of my transformation from shy virgin to a full fledged slut who even managed to get my family members involved.

My mom, Sheetal, was a typical housewife. Her usual daily routine was going to the temple, cooking our meals and taking care of the household chores.

My father, Gopal, was a mechanic. My brother Rohan followed in his footsteps and even worked with Dad at the same local auto repair shop. They worked diligently every weekday, leaving by 8am and not returning until as late as 7pm most nights.

Our family wasn't too rich, but we still had a happy and contented life. That is, until I took my first job, and changed our lives forever.

There's definitely an automated screening process going on. I just had a story rejected, within three minutes of submitting, for suspected underage. I've just resubmitted with a Note to the Editor, saying the text establishes the character as androgynous, maybe a teenager, maybe thirty.

The reason for the bounce, I'm going to guess, was the following:

"The backpack was shiny black leather, a professional piece of baggage. Not what a schoolgirl or even a college girl would carry."

plus references to a girl or a boy.

Still, it makes a change from suspected AI.

It also throws the theory that there's a white list out the window, coz if there'd be anyone on such a list, it would be me, because, you know: site sycophant.

There's definitely an automated screening process going on. I just had a story rejected, withing five minutes of submitting, for suspected underage. I've just resubmitted with a Note to the Editor, saying the text establishes the character as androgynous, maybe a teenager, maybe thirty.

There's a post from Laurel, one of the earliest in the AH, from back in 2000 I think, saying that they'd commissioned a programmer to write some screening software for them that was going to reduce approval times by 75%.
