What a *&%$# joke

[KeithD]

In my OP I DIRECTLY QUOTED the rejection notice...

"Dear Writer,

Thank you for your submission to Literotica. We appreciate the time and effort you've taken to write a story and submit it to our site . However, we've found that we cannot post your submission in its current form. The checklist below may help you in re-examining your manuscript.

We do not publish stories professed to be true/about real people in the title, tags, and/or description. This is to protect you as well as the people in the story."

Yes, as I've continually point to. But both you and others then immediately skipped off into use of product, business, and place names.

The site's point was DIRECTLY the use of a claimed real person. That's almost totally difference from what you and several other posters have been posting about on this thread.

Did you claim one of your characters was a real person and then put them into sexual situations? That's what the rejection claimed to be about in what you provided. If you did, that's potentially libeling a real person (which the rejection notes as the problem) and the site doesn't want to be part of that (legally, they'd be on the hook for publishing it).

No, I don't see where the site's follow-up explanation is different from the original rejection. It is about what the editor perceived as your claimed use of a real person.

Most everything else that you and some others have been discussing on this thread has nothing to do with the reason you quote for rejection. You don't seem to have a clue what the real issue of the rejection is. You can't willy-nilly put people you claim to be real into sexual activity you can't prove they actually engage in without risking Literotica rejection.

Your fix could be as simple as getting rid of the claim the character is a real person. Your original claim of the problem was that you didn't do this and then you ran off on mentions of businesses, dragging a lot of other posters with you.

Claiming your character is a real person--that's the reason given both by the original rejection and the follow-up explanation.

That may or may not have really been done, but I can't see where you've connected with why it was rejected.

I didn't "connect" with why my story was rejected because it was not rejected for the reason stated. The story was written in the first person. The female MC is "Mary-Ellen" and in the story an "Anthony" is her father. Mary-Ellen and Anthony have a business (not a sexual) relationship. My current user name is "Anthonysdaughter," but just as in real life there are no overtones of sexuality there.

In the story Mary-Ellen has sex with several people (identified by first name only) in "her father's hotel." The city, island, and nation are not identified. NONE of the businesses are named, they are "the Carribean bar," and "the pharmacy." Anyone who THINKS they can identify the people or places (even knowing the city I submitted the story from) are mistaken.

I asked. The response I got was simply nonsensical. The best I can figure is that the story was actually rejected because the site's bot thinks it is non-consensual.

I accept that this is a private site and can choose to accept or reject stories as the owner wishes. But since the owner asks for submissions I argue that the owner has an ethical responsibility to accurately state why the story was rejected. If the site says "we only accept stories written in English," they have the right to do so. What I am saying is that if the story is in English, it cannot be rejected because "we only accept submissions written in English."

PS A story that I submitted 19 months ago was rejected because it mentioned the Hotel Wales (now closed) and Sarabeth's (Restaurant) by name. Perhaps it was also rejected because it is a group sex story-- but it was stated to have been rejected because I gave a glowing appraisal of both that was deemed to be "like an advertisement" and it was published without the proper names. I'm not sure how to do this "Mr. A, Mr. B, and Ms. C?)

 

[KeithD]

Whatever. You don't seem to want to be helped to understanding or getting your story accepted.

And, no, I don't believe you that a story was rejected here because you mentioned actual hotel and restaurant names. I've done something like that in the more than 1,300 stories I've gotten posted here without problem. You just made that up. That sort of disinformation to try to win a discussion point is a disservice to other writers.

This is the reason the site gave for rejection (and stated quite clearly, as I read those words). There's nothing to do with place names here, nor any of the other things you are now going on about.

Address the issue of "professed to be true/about real people" and resubmit your story. That would be much simpler than continuing to argue here, surely?

 

[Anthonysdaughter]

I didn't make it up. I'm reporting one of the wildly inconsistent responses the bots offer. As for winning, unless you are L... You know, now that I think about it I never have seen the two of you in the same place together... Winning an argument is laughable, only one person's opinion counts.

You keep saying "disinformation." I'm repeating what I was told. Perhaps I am spreading disinformation, but I am not creating it.

In my most recently posted story, “Four-Hour Layover” (https://www.literotica.com/s/four-hour-layover), posted two days ago without question after having been submitted two days before that, my protagonist flies from New York to a Detroit layover before going on to Key West on possible flights that actually existed at the time I wrote the story. He hooks up at the SlapShotz Bar and Grill, which was actually located on Concourse A of the Detroit airport when the story was written (and might still be there), and they screw in the Westin Hotel, which was in the terminal, and probably still is there. So, no, I don’t believe you can’t use actual hotel and restaurant names in your Literotica stories—because I do, routinely.

…In my real life I have enjoyed hundreds (if not thousands, counting is boring) of evenings with multiple sexual partners and I can assure anyone reading this that each one was completely consensual and each one was amazingly enjoyable for every person involved (even if they had trouble walking...

…I'm a woman, a grandmother in point of fact, and I really, (no I mean really, really) enjoy really intense sex...

Between this post and the other, I’m starting to agree: Maybe these two posts and posters in particular are playing an April fools joke in September. I predict a claim of being TG next. If true, great. But there’s the whole “had all sorts of chances to say it earlier in the “editors” post but never did. April 1?

Why is the concept that some women enjoy sex. And enjoy intense sex so difficult to comprehend? My body was built by nature for the rigors of childbirth AFTER HAVING AN ENTIRE FULLY FORMED HUMAN BEING develop inside of me from a single cell. I've done both multiple times and let me tell you 26.2 miles is nothing.

Sex is exercise, really fun exercise. The more we use our bodies the better we become at it and the healthier we are. Whether you believe we are here by chance, by a sentient God's plan, or by the organized but non-sentient forces of nature HUMANS ARE ANIMALS that evolved on the plains of Africa running, not in an air conditioned office cubicle.

I don't really claim to know much of anything about being transgendered. I know a few people who are and by and large those few are not happy people-- maybe that's just my small sample size. Without being patronizing I cannot imagine that any person would choose to be uncomfortable with their physical being. I have never been someone who would be found on the cover of a fashion magazine, but nobody has ever asked that I put a paper bag over my head either.

I don't personally think that being TG is all about sex either. Where I live being bisexual isn't a huge deal, so if it was strictly a strictly sexual thing it would be a whole lot easier just to identify as gay or bisexual. I've always loved the people that I've loved in a physical way, and with many of them I have loved them in a sexual way be they male or female.

In so many ways I was lucky. I was raised by one of a very few female business owners around here back when I was growing up. My father was supportive and he had the resources and inclination to track down and kill anyone who really hurt me. My cohort at school was cohesive, we were the kids of professional business managers who valued education and the staff there wanted us to succeed in life.

It was a tumultuous time in history and we took being cohesive to an extreme, and while I've added people to my circle few have really left it. The young men in our group were all taken right about their 19th birthdays to be soldiers in an undeclared war that we had absolutely no stake in. They were considered to be expendable by the political elites, pawns used to show other so-called leaders how our so-called leaders supported them in an ideological fight.

I and several of my (non-biological) "sisters" intentionally got ourselves pregnant by our men before they were sent away for training. In that way they would never really leave us, and they would have someone who was a part of them to come back to. In a very real way that made us one big family and insured that we were permanent. Thinking about this sort of thing is why I write. Memories from half a century ago.

It’s the part where you were bragging about your past triumphs, including causing your satisfied partners (thousands of them) to have trouble walking.

This screen name is you saying you’re female. That’s a pretty tough oopsie to overcome.

Snore. This thread has gotten older than the pyramids. Over on already. When does a moderator lock at thread?

Please read carefully. (1) I never said that I had thousands of lovers. I said that I've had sex hundreds or thousands of times. If I have sex with the same let's say 20 people over the course of 50 years that's only once a year per person. So my estimate was horribly low. (2) Trust me, both men and women can fuck until we get cramps-- I think it's lactic acid building up, but I could be wrong about that, and it's too late to check. Walking is painful at that point and sometimes we just end up in a sweaty pile till the ache goes away. I'm sorry you've never experienced that.

Edit-- after a two-hour two penis morning with two wonderful freinds of mine-- the human body uses glucose and ascorbic acid to produce energy in our muscle cells. Lactic acid is the by-product and the cause of cramps after hours and hours of fucking (we did 100 hours (4 days 4 hours) a few times in our 20s)

Lactic acid is processed by the liver, so in time all that cramp producing stuff gets cleaned out and as the German philosopher said, what does not kill you makes you stronger.
