Question

[sr71plt]

I'm slightly confused as to what's going on and if I'm allowed to post some or any of my story.. As to the story I am writing it for and about him, he's quite legal and there is nothing to suggest any underage situations. I haven't attempted to post anything in... Several years I think, at least 3 or 4 because their response to my story left me confused lol. But I've been writing him a story including him and he loves it and wanted me to share it.

As I posted, if you want to PM me and have it in Word, I'll give you an e-mail address to send it to as an attachment and maybe I can either tell you what's wrong or help you clean it up to resubmit. That seems to be the most direct answer to your quandry and the quickest route out of the backbiting that wandered into this thread (most of which has nothing to do with you or your story).

If you don't have Word, you can put the first few paragraphs directly into the body of the PM and maybe I can see what's wrong. It's over 750 words, isn't it? (the story minimum length here)

Well over. I think it's about 6 or 7 good sized chapters. I'll have to get it out of my fiance's computer and send it over to my computer, he just got me a new laptop so I don't have any of my photos or my story on this computer yet

You sent it as one file? And that's what got rejected? Just send me about the first 1,000 words of it. If it's a format problem, the problem should exhibit by then.

 

[blackfire87]

Non, I haven't submitted his story to lit, this was an older story. HIs story is some 15 thousand words. But I'll send you it

Now you have me confused. We are talking about a story that was submitted to Lit. and rejected for some reason, right?

What were you asking in your OP? You weren't asking to post 15,000 words to this forum, were you?

 

[jaF0]

I have a story I'm writing my fiance, but I don't really want to post it to literotica. Is there a place here I can post it?

Nah I mean I don't want to submit it to the site because how I write is slightly unorthodox. I'd love to post it here on the board

So there's no way to share my story? I had tried posting a story there but they said I didn't make my characters talk correctly. I don't know what they meant, I do my punctuation and grammer correctly

Non, I haven't submitted his story to lit, this was an older story. HIs story is some 15 thousand words. But I'll send you it

I'm really confused.

Care to start from the beginning and explain this to us?

 

[blackfire87]

Not at all once but in chapters as I got feedback for each chapter. And I haven't resubmitted a story to lit in several years due to the confusion of the first story I tried submitting to them-about 3-4 years ago- I've only been working on his story since Jan of last year

I've assessed what you sent and e-mailed it back to you. Let me know if you don't get it.

A couple of possibilities. There's enough in what you sent for the bot to ask if it's bestiality. Also what you sent has indents. Lit. doesn't do indents. You used British quote punctuation style. Even though this is not incorrect, the bot has been known to burp on British punctuation style (this is an American-based site). In what I received there was a boatload of nonbreaking character spaces. They might just be in the mode you sent it to me--but if in the original, that could have caused problems too. There are punctuation and hyphenation mistakes, but not enough to set any rejection off, I don't think. You didn't send it in Word, so you might have had technical submissions problems. I think the most assured way is cut and paste directly into the submissions text box.

Pretty well written, I thought.

 

[sr71plt]

Well, no, actually.

I've said before that sr is wrong on this. Look at all the reasons to 'report post' and nowhere do you find 'failure to abide by story guidelines'. Lit controls anything posted officially but seems quite laid back about what us chattering unwashed post on forums. It is up to us, not the site. They are not responsible.

Again, the website isn't 'anything goes' but the forums generally are. Also, for at least the 8 years I've been around the site, no-one, except the crittur in the basement, has ever questioned the right to post draft stories here. We live with requests for finding stories and draft stories as well as looking at URLs to read posted stories. His ass clenching definition resembles scouries attempts to change the site rules.

Go ahead, blackfire, and post your draft here - it's perfectly allowed.

You will get good advice, some may be highly critical. You'll have to live with that.

So, you want to rethink that now, Elfin, dear? The OP was asking about posting 15,000 words of what might be bestiality directly to the website, bypassing any website controls--although Lit. has a policy of not publishing bestiality--for some very good reasons.

Or were you just here to backbite me?

(And which of us actually gave any real help?)

 

[blackfire87]

But I have said I have not tried submitting the story I am writing for him to Lit. The story I tried submitting was several years ago and included humans, not anthro characters like his story has. I just happen to still type the same way so I already know that if I tried to submit his story that I'd get the same response because I still type the same way. If I still had the rejection letter I'd post it but again-several years ago and have changed emails at least twice. Currently it just seems like more trouble than it's worth to even attempt to get it edited to "Lit standards" and try submitting it again, so if anyone wants to read it I'll just email it to them. Thanks though.

Yeah, it's probably more trouble than it's worth at this point, because there's no solid grip on what you want done with what coming across.

I suggest dropping the past you can't get your arms around and concentrating on what exactly you want to post to Literotica now.

I don't think you're leaving anyone with an understanding of what the "it" is that you want to e-mail to them. 15,000 words of something in the body of an e-mail?

(Oh, and you're welcome for me giving a submissions assessment on that 1,000 words.)

But what if the person post a story containing underage rape snuff.How do you know what the poster unorthodox means?

Some Lit forums (Authors' Hangout and the GB for example) are completely unmoderated - like twitter - so anything goes.

Story Feedback is very lightly moderated by The Conformist and if you feel a post should be looked at you can PM the moderator.

Again, to repeat, the site owners, quite rightly, control rigorously everything that happens on the main story site to ensure compliance with policy. For the entirely separate side of the forums, Lit management has frequently restated that it is laid back about what subjects appear on particular forums.

scouries, sr and others have no legitimacy when they try to restrict the rules for posting here. Heck, why hasn't sr launched a virulent attack on the Nipples thread here. Not a great link with 'Story Feedback' but the moderator approves it.

In answer to your question, whilst I hate erotic violence, nothing you quote is illegal in fiction writing/tv. Rape and snuff is mainstream on tv - think 'Silence of the Lambs' for example. Also, incest and underage sex novels can be legally published.

Just an aside to sr, who seems to have the hots for me. I thought he was gay? Bestiality can be posted on the forum (not the story site) - personally it's not for me - just remember we ain't talking about humans or animals, it's just words on paper.

Blackfire, you haven't had a great response here. Four Lit pages is a bit much to post to the forum but why not take the first 2,000 words and see what reaction you get? You may even find an editor.

What can be posted on the forums is more forgiving than the rules for story submission.

I would imagine, that if the poster ended up putting up something that contained what you said, it could be reported and it would be edited.

A few months ago the mods cleaned up a lot of the "incest is best" thread and some of the photo threads.

He who has no argument resorts to cheap jibes and pathetic insults.

I accept your less than humble apology that I am right and you wrong. You invent imaginary forum rules, you tell newbies you don't read stories and you have the social skills of a rabid polecat. I undersand your frustration that I don't react to your unsubtle advances but you must understand you are not helping newbies here.

Ah, getting back on track.

blackfire, I think short of someone actually seeing your story or an excerpt from it, no one will be able to give you any advice on whether it can be posted or not. Please feel free to PM me about it, and sr71plt offered earlier. But we need to see it to give you a constructive answer.

1,000 words of it was sent to me via e-mail and I responded on what might be wrong with what was sent (and the gist of that posted above--post #33). It's not clear whether what was sent was what the OP was about.

While Elfin was backbiting, I was actually taking a look at it for the OP.

I wasn't backbiting, just pointing out that your personal interpretations of forum guidelines are way off-line. Also, blackfire would have got a more rounded review if you had encouraged a posting here. From your comments here, I doubt he got a balanced review

Telling a newbie that you are the rod of all life just stops the rest of us reviewing a story.

I used to respect you but, really, your arrogance and ego sully this forum. Blackfire's issues needed to be addressed in a wider forum than your buttock-clenching view of reality.

Just leave Story Feedback and we can get back to encouraging the writers you refuse to read.

 

[sr71plt]

You can certainly do something other than cheap talk, Elfin, and volunteer to look at it directly, as I did--and give another opinion, if you like. But you won't do that, will you? Because you aren't posting to this thread because of the OP's problem at all, are you?

(The last I knew a fox was a real animal, and a human having sex with it would be bestiality. If you asked to look at the actually text, of course, you would know that and not have to attack blindly.)

I did read the material in this case; you didn't, did you? And I've answered your "won't read the material" business multiple times already. When you give general writing advice that is, on the face of it, stupid and uninformed, I don't have to read anything other than your stupid and uninformed advice (such as a beginning writer shoudn't write erotica in first person and trying to talk about "voice" when the issue is really "tense") to comment that your advice is stupid and uninformed.

You've post, what, four erotica stories to Lit.--ever--and nothing in the last six years. That don't qualify you as either an erotica writing expert or an expert on how to submit at Literotica, honey. You're trying to assert the easy button on telling other people what they can/should write. And I'm standing in your way in getting that done. So, no other need to go into your motivation for posting to this thread.

Actually, a paragraph or two is a good maximum to post. As pointed out earlier, posting a story here--or a chapter, for that matter--circumvents the submission process for posting stories.

Yes, sorry, I didn't see that when I made my post, obviously. Been a hectic weekend.

So, did the snow knock out the power where you were? As usual, where I was was hit a lot less than either to the west (in the valley) or east (Richmond) of me.

Various people, including me, did suggest to blackfire to post EITHER on the board, or via a PM. blackfire opted for the PM route with sr71, and that's fine.

And I don't think it's unreasonable to advise people against posting entire stories in a thread. That does allow people to post material the site would otherwise reject, and that's not right.

As I posted above, a paragraph or two is acceptable but not an entire story, or even a full chapter. I've confirmed this information as well.
