I've been laughing about your original post, @Djmac1031 for almost 30 minutes.

[Derogatory statement about journalism]You know that movie about the video tape that, if you watched it, you died a week later?
Yeah, my story is kinda like that. Except you don't die after reading.
You just lose brain cells.
Glad you expressed your opinion. It seems so different from the others though. Perhaps you need a cup of to help smooth out your day?Allow me to give the response anyone with an actual rejection gets here
Don't like it leave.

couldn't we fuck the editor while they are editing? i mean it would be quicker and pleasurable for both. lmaoWell, duh...'fucking editor.' What would you rather do, fuck or edit?

The pleasure of editing is pure and must not be interrupted!couldn't we fuck the editor while they are editing? i mean it would be quicker and pleasurable for both. lmao
This reminds me of the famous (real) rejection letter that Proust got when he first submitted Swann’s Way:Thoughts?
You mean... all these years I had a choice?!Well, duh...'fucking editor.' What would you rather do, fuck or edit?
You mean... all these years I had a choice?!
Thoughts?So my latest story was rejected with the following note:
"Dear so-called 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.
Are you, perhaps, uneducated? Or merely just a fucking idiot? We normally do not allow stories written or edited by AI programs on the site, but for yours we'd make an exception, because anything would be better than this tripe. Frankly as it stands right now, your story makes "See Spot Run" read like "War And Peace."
Please, for the love of God, find a fucking editor. Better yet, just delete this story altogether and go back to eating paste.
On the off chance you can read and breathe at the same time, please consult our Writer's Resources section and make sure you read our submission guidelines.
If you have any questions on these, please do us a favor and ask someone, anyone but us.
Thanks for your time, and look forward to never hearing from you again!"
So I'm not sure how I should take this, or what my next step should be.
Thoughts?
You chose... poorly.You mean... all these years I had a choice?!
This theme was somewhat funny in another, similar vein by a friend of yours. Careful ... someone will take this at face value and believe you are serious, spark a long-running thread, and create all kinds of hurtful results.
Maybe add a or a emoji to help such readers out.
Just saying ...
This is a problem everywhere but the real issue right now is the 'AI' problemI've long felt Lit should impose stricter quality controls. The good stories are being drowned out by the sloppy ones.
I suspect that AI is already better than the bottom decile of Lit stories.This is a problem everywhere but the real issue right now is the 'AI' problem
We have Manu. Publish my story, or he gets it.Speaking of paste, I submitted my last story using letters cut out of a newspaper and glued to a posterboard. Went through fine, except they stripped out all the fonts.

I’m much too much of a prima donna to collabI sense a collaboration in the works...
