Are stories being 'vetted' by A. I.?

The poems also 'jumped the queue' in that they got published before the stories/chapters. Because they are short? Different set of 'vetters'?

As far as anyone knows, exactly one human being vets stories, poems, and audio: Laurel.

A curious phenom: I have two chapters in my "Daughter of Lilith" series that are hanging in pending, one for more than a month. But I put some poems up and they went right through. Because there are so many submission do you suppose Lit vets stories with an A.I. bot that filters for 'no no words and phrases'? Also, I edited and reposted a chapter more than a month ago, and might that not 'taint' it with some kind of 'not ready for prime time' tag? No response from Laurel on these Q.

Has the pending date on your two stories changed? From previous posts people have reported that after 24 hours the pending date changes and within a week they get a rejection with the AI BS. I had two stories sitting in pending for almost a month (3/18 and 3/20) with no activity at all by that I mean the pending date did not change. Wednesday I went ahead and edited both. I didn't edit the stories I added a note to the administrator quoting every single reason why a story would be deleted and said I did none of that. They are still sitting in pending with the pending date accurate

Aaaaand again a Lit Forum thread veers off into the high grass of 'something else altogether'. (And in this rare case 'altogether' does not mean 'nude'.) But that's what I love about this 'neighborhood.' People with sparky brains bumping up against each other and stuff gets different.

So that’s what causes all the dumpster fires…

Pending hasn't changed since the original edited post a month ago and the other post a week ago

And we will believe that this protean creature can read hundreds of stories a week or a day depending on the vibrance of a particular smut season. I assume by now, like someone who works all day in an ice cream shop, and is off the creamy stuff, that Laurel now hates sex.

People have assumed that many stories are auto-rejected by scripts (e. g. if their dialogue formatting is stupid or there is clear underage sex content), and established writers' stories get only a cursory glance.

People also assume that their stories get reviewed by one person and one person alone.

Your point?

100% agree. I can't even imagine what a person's psyche would be after reading every single story submitted to Literotica

Not to be snarky, but instead to be snarky, the punctuation/grammar standards of Literotica published stories are such that one assumes the Powers That Be don't really give a rat's derriere about technical shice like that. Random sample of one, but I've never seen a rejection based on that stuff. Pretty much just don't write about kiddies.

Early on I got rejected for comma splices and too-long paragraphs, and horrible punctuation, but will also admit that some of my stories with the same issues got through. It's not a science, but it is a standard.

I wouldn't call it AI though, just a simple word bot scanning text.

Which is a form of AI.

It was an 80's thing in American pop culture.

Earlier. It was used in the '60s, though as someone said, mostly for athletes.

Huh what? I assume that comma splices happen like fleas on a mutt, they are so easy to conjure. Yeah, add the dot above the comma or an 'and' and you are off the hook (which means something different now). Kind of kind of the Establishent to point out stuff like that and help you improve the smoothitude of your writing. I was trashed by a reader for my eccentric punctuation, even while being praised for the content.

Every time I rereaad this particular story, I can't heelp but wonder how stuff like this got through. No idea what I was thinking, but that ain't how you do dialogue punctuatrion folks...


"Well, done. Are you starting to understand the gift the spirits have given you," his voice filled my head again?
