Grazie. And I, young lady, am quite a fan of the literary webs you weave.Looking forward to that - I enjoyed the first one.

You can have those characters, but mention of certain numbers may be triggering automatic rejections. When you resubmit try saying in the notes to the editor that the underage characters are not near any sex. Make sure that includes not thinking sexual thoughts or watching anything sexual or having anyone think anything sexual about them or masturbating.Once again, my fellow scribes, my latest draft was rejected by the powers in charge here because I mentioned that characters in my story (NOT engaged in sexual activity) were 17. Am I to understand that no one is ever to be mentioned in an erotic tale UNLESS they are above the age of 18, REGARDLESS of the fact they were simply in the story? Are characters not allowed to mention parts of their life BEFORE they turned 18?
I would very much appreciate your helpful suggestions/advice.
If the mention of a seventeen-year-old in your story had no connection to sexuality and you refile with a polite note in the notes box that it doesn't and could Laurel point to the point at which the system believes it does--and you do so without dramatics--chances are good it will go through. Before that you might take a hard look at why you need to have a seventeen-year-old character in your story--what you will lose by not doing the work to upage the character by a year.Once again, my fellow scribes, my latest draft was rejected by the powers in charge here because I mentioned that characters in my story (NOT engaged in sexual activity) were 17.

I thank you. I have rewritten the piece and resubmitted removing the flashback mention of the (Gasp!) 17-year-old, non-sexual version of my 19-year-old heroine.If the mention of a seventeen-year-old in your story had no connection to sexuality and you refile with a polite note in the notes box that it doesn't and could Laurel point to the point at which the system believes it does--and you do so without dramatics--chances are good it will go through.

Finally, someone I can relate to. Thank you for this; I was sincerely wondering where my people had gone to.I don't think anyone including underage characters should have to take any "hard look" at why they are including them at all, if it's in a non-erotic context. That's just silly.
It's in the Author's Hangout, that's the only difference.May I ask, how is this topic different from "New Story Advertisements"? I'm not criticizing, it's a real question. Is it the intended audience?
I'd say posts here are more likely to go into the aspects of the craft, touch on the trials and tribulations with the submission system, and other topics that aren't of interest to readers who don't need to know how the sausage is made (as long as it's hard and throbbing).It's in the Author's Hangout, that's the only difference.
I read it and rated it. Do you have any idea why it's scoring so poorly? I thought it was well-written and enlightening.
