Rejection

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.

I got the first theee chapters of Nix all bounced back in minutes just like you. It was due to me attempting to spoof the URLs of the next chapters. The text was specific and non-boilerplate.

I’ll PM you about the ‘white list.’

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%.

I've always suspected a word bot, triggering on key words. It didn't occur to me to add the Note to the Editor the first time.

What surprised me was the speed of the bounce back - only three minutes. Which means there's a first bot screening very early in the queue. It's been there twenty-two minutes since the resubmission with a Note to the Editor, so cross fingers. I'll check again in the morning.

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:

plus references to a girl or a boy.

Still, it makes a change from suspected AI.

It doesn't. It just means that likely no one is exempt from the basic screening for underage and such. But the whitelist exists and it allows a number of authors to blitz through the approval process.

Whether you are on it or not is a different question altogether.

I have only ever thought that it applies to AI generated writing.

Your version:



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.

I get your point, but I'm still me, I'll use my flaws and try to portray my stuff, I have no intention of arguing or fighting with anyone anymore, but the original point of my thread, Rejection, was of my frustrations, as after so many chapters being published, I still am not getting those 2 pending ones published, but let's end it, if it's destiny that my small following can read those things, even though My English is bad, then I'm be grateful, Thanks.
