Story Sent back

[Android_Kain]

Hi, sorry I am posting a first time story and I have just had my story sent back because "You used word spell check/AI to help you with Grammar", sorry is this some sort of joke? are you saying I can't upload a story unless it has spelling mistakes?

No, but mistakes might get it past the automated check for AI-written stories. The management says very little, but most of the authors who participate in this forum believe that there is some sort of automated test for Large Language Model-written text and automatic rejection if it's detected.

Don't use Grammarly or anything else to rewrite or create your work. Write it yourself.

Write your story, give it a really good proof read, and then reach out to a volunteer editor for some help with a final edit. Don't use any editing software other than the basic stuff on Word or Google Docs. That should help. Good luck.

I have the same issue. Two days ago, one of my edits was rejected for this reason after it had been sitting in pending for a month and a half (for comparison, that's slow even for an edit).

It wasn't a new story. It was an edit of a story that Laurel (or whoever checks this stuff) already accepted and published last year. I didn't add anything new to it, just fixed some spelling errors that I noticed recently.

After basic spellchecking, I listen to it using translate to pick up other errors and clunky phrasing. Works for me
