Story submission rejected?????

[hotchat]

I am trying to submit the first two parts of my life story. It is a true story of my life at highschool age. 13-18. I was put in a military school and have a lot to relate of those 4 or 5 years. Is this not allowed because of my age and the ages of my friends?

Any story containing sex involving anyone under 18 cannot be published here. Whether it is a true story or not.

Oh I didnt' mean to break a rule??

So am I to take it that you can't write about your life back in highschool at all?

I did not write this as a child porn thing....it is simply my life story?

If there is sex involved and any of the participants are under eighteen it doesn't matter.

That's the rule here on Lit.

That is correct as far as posting yourlife story at Literotica.

The submission guidlelines explicitly say that no stories with underage (under 18) sex will be posted.

There are other sites that will publish your story, but the owners of Literotica choose not to.

Sure. Just leave out all the sex that happened to you prior to age 18.

This site has rules to protect itself from being shut down. And the problem isn't with the site thinking you are writing child porn, the problem is with people who will use any excuse to shut down an erotica site, people who DO think that any erotic story which features a minor engaged in explicit sex is kiddie porn--true or not. The precaution may seem extreme to you, but these are the times we live in. One complaint is all it would take. There is no reason in the world that the site owners should take the risk, however unlikely, of being arrested for kiddie porn.

The rule is simply this: the site recognizes that teenagers do have sex, even that children are sexually molested. Such events can be obliquely refered to as happening in the past, like someone saying, "I lost my virginity at age 14." But you CANNOT show it in the story. No explicit sex can be shown as happening to anyone under 18 years of age.

If your story has no sex in it, is non-erotic, than you can certainly post it in the non-erotic category. But if your life story includes your sexual exploits from age 14 on up, then, sorry, no, it will be rejected. That's the rule. It doesn't matter if it's a true story, if it's only between kids, or if it's handled tastefully. No sex scene with characters under the age of 18. There are other sites that don't have this age restriction, and, of course, you can always post the story on your own website if you feel that the story has to have such sex scenes.
