wrong category?

[pleasureclicks]

I posted a 'poem' on the site, late August, and it was rejected, 3rd September, as being posted in the wrong category, 'stories' and not 'poems ... fair enough my error, but to be fair, there is no obvious link in the drop-down menu when submitting, to select 'poems'... but I was provided with link to resubmit, which was a nice touch...

however, I can't use the same title as its already in use???? and I can't delete the rejected poem... like huh? how many 'stories' and 'poems' on this site use the same 'title'???... I stopped counting when I reached 500...

my issue is that changing the poems title can take away from its meaning, but, I complied and reposed, same day as rejection, as a new piece of work and with a new title... and I am still waiting for it to be posted??? {UPDATE: ALL SUBMISSIONS NO LIVW}

the FAQ's mention a new posting should go live between 3-7 days and I know and understand the volume of work that the editors go through to get stories up and on line, but 90% of that is nowadays, automated...

so perhaps a little clarity, update the FAQ's to reflect current trends, {insert Covid-19 there} and perhaps check that the 'links' are all working, even 30 years ago, that was an automated selectable action built into web page builder...

all said and done, a good job by a select dedicated few to keep the site above water...

You need to delete the rejected one. You can't use the same title as one you have already used. Once you delete the rejected poem that was submitted to the story side, you should be able to submit it as a poem with the original title.

delete, but where?

Hi and thanks for the reply... perhaps I am just too old a fart to see, but for the life of me I cant fins anywhere, where I can delete a rejected submission.... I would really like to use the same title as the original too...

From there, click the little gear icon next to the rejected submission, and you should see an orange delete button on the left side of the window that pops up.

once again thanks, but it appears that a moderator has already deleted the rejected post... all I need to do now is find a way to edit the title of the resubmitted poem... guess I do digging... dig dig dig...

To re-submit an edited version you do a new submission and put in the title, then after it put the word edit.

Down at the bottom after you put in the story you see a notes field, put a note in there that this is an edited version.

be aware that edited stories don't get priority so it may take a couple extra days for the edited version to replace the current one.
