AwkwardMD AI Rejection Help Desk

The next step that Lit suggests is to resubmit your story with a Note to the Admin stating that AI was not used in the creation of your story.

Which may or may not help.

I have asked you nicely, on several occasions, to stop contributing banter. This is not the place for it.

After 6 submissions being rejected, let's see if this one gets sent back for AI:

"See Dick.

See Jane.

See Dick fuck Jane.

Fuck Jane… fuck.

See Dick cum all over Jane.


The End."

Yes I actually just submitted this in Humor & Satire.

Well, the minimum word count requirement is 750 words, so if that is literally what you submitted, it's going to be rejected for length

Lit's AI detector is looking for something specific. It's not a system immune to false positives, but it requires some fairly specific ingredients to make that happen where it shouldn't.

Write your own story. Edit your own story, or enlist the aid of a volunteer editor. This is the only way, and I mean for everyone to follow these steps as literally as possible.

I did that 6 different times and got the same bullshit. Helluva way to treat new authors. Smh

Hey, I think I figured it out. I wrote another story and literally dumbed it down. I shortened my sentence structures and made the story very straightforward. I also left out almost all simile and metaphor. The story sucks, but it's getting published, and in only 24 hours.

Writing is an extremely rewarding hobby and creative endeavor. I'm always glad to hear others finding success with it, and I'm heartbroken when the AI detector has to step in (and sad it needs to exist at all).

I would be surprised (shocked, really) if sentence length had anything to do with getting flagged, but I would encourage you to otherwise keep your entire process as simple as you can.

my MS Word no longer spell checks or offers help

Grammarly helps.

as I type this grammarly wants to make structural syntax changes

70 published stories on Lit using the same writing style, this is the firesst encounter with this type of rejection.

Forgive me if I'm making any unwarranted assumptions, but reading between the lines, it sounds like there might be a change to your workflow involving your writing software and writing tools...

In a different post, someone recently counted 2,125 publications on the Lit story side over a 6 day period (I think it was @Actingup ) Allowing for multiple postings from a handful of authors, let's

Not me, I think - I remember reading that comment and wondering why not 7 days?

https://search.literotica.com/?query= &period=1 week&page=1 1308 stories in past week or
5511 stories in past month.

Maybe they used a different method?

These numbers are different, but they are not meaningfully different in a way that changes my point.

Thank you for the clarification.

This is just a reminder to all posters on this thread to follow the forum/Lit guidelines. In part, it says "You might not always agree with what other members post on the forum, and those users might not agree with what you post." Let's not turn this into attacks or arguments. I might not add to the topic, but I do follow it and can remove anything breaking the rules.


So use the ignore function or just move on.

I'm glad to see someone monitors.
Back on topic.
This is the noteworthy part of my rejection notice:

• Are you using Grammarly, ProWritingAid, Quillbot or similar software, or allowing Microsoft Word grammar check to change your words? Many modern writing packages incorporate AI. Literotica is a storytelling community centered on the sharing of human fantasies. While we do not have a policy against using tools to help with the writing process (i.e. sp, grammar check, etc.), we do ask that all work published on Literotica be created primarily by a human. If you are using a grammar check program to review your work so that you can make changes (as a spellcheck, to flag punctuation, review grammar, and/or occasionally as a thesaurus), that should be fine. If you are allowing a grammar check program to “rewrite” your words or rephrase your text, that may cross the line into AI generated text/stories (since substantial parts of the final draft may not be written by you). Please see this FAQ for more information: https://literotica.com/faq/publishing/publishing-ai NOTE: the sentence at the end of this response [[Please feel free to re-submit the story after a Volunteer Editor has examined it, or after you've made revisions.]] does not apply to stories rejected for content or AI issues. Volunteer Editors can help only with grammar, punctuation, and story mechanics issues and are not equipped to deal with AI issues. You may resubmit after you’ve made revisions.

I've followed this and my work conforms. I am the originator not the AI elements of Grammarly. Currently, I've stripped the story down to its bare content and will resubmit. It's nearly that 'See Dick. See Jane.' level. Let's see how that flies.

I've just had the same rejection.

The original draft was sent back due to spelling,grammar and layout, which was fair.

I spent many hours re-editing it fixing the spelling,layout and grammar.

Then it was rejected again because they thought it was Ai.

That's exactly what ive just done.

I also offered to provide evidence if they need it.

Generally speaking that has not been useful at this stage. The site admin (Laurel) is not engaging in depth with rejected stories. It seems, given the patterns of stories we hear, that the first rejection happens because of automated criteria (read: the AI detector) and that subsequent submissions with a note (like yours) will sit in the pending queue until she can take a look at the work.

If she rejects it again, the step after that is to enlist the aid of a volunteer editor from the site (read: Literotica's Volunteer Editor Program from this Editors Forum, not just anyone who can do editing work) and try to get one of them to vouch for you, using the evidence you have. The editors, in total, have more time to dedicate to mystery solving than Laurel does alone, BUT that's a bridge to cross down the road.

 

[Pinkie3_14]

In the last two weeks, I've got you and and Pinkie3_14. 2 against 3000. This is your idea of a big problem?

I now have 6 submissions up on here that have passed through. I have 8 that have been sent back. It may not be a big issue for the site... yet. But it's a big deal for me. I'm f*cking done.

You received a rejection for AI and continued to write 7 other, separate submissions of at least 750 words before trying to resolve them?

 

[Pinkie3_14]

Oh, I’ve been trying to resolve the issue, but I’ve received almost no response from the admin team. The only submissions that make it through are the ones I’ve had to simplify or “dumb down.” Whenever I return to my normal writing style, they get rejected again.

And you returned to your normal style 7 more times?

Help me understand this, because most of us spend days, weeks, or (personally) months working on submissions before we send them in. Some of these people getting rejections are like "i've put hundreds of hours into this and now no one is going to read it?" I've got sympathy for that. I can and have reached out to the site and tried to use my meager credit to get some of those works published (with good but inconsistent results).

You cranking out submission after submission feels like the kind of thing someone would do if they weren't really trying (or if a machine was doing a big chunk of it), and you're not really here for the craft but the adulation you'd get once they were up. To me this is a red flag separate from the rejections themselves, but I'd like to understand how you got there.

 

[Pinkie3_14]

I have a significant number of stories written long before I ever gathered the courage to start publishing on this site. Honestly, that’s part of why this whole situation is so frustrating; after finally working up the nerve, the repeated rejections have derailed the series I intended to share. But once I have the idea, I write quickly. Once, while working on the book I’m currently trying to publish, I even hit ten pages in a single day.

Written before you came to this site makes complete sense. It's not like everyone knows this site is here waiting.

Have you attempted to resubmit with a note to the admin?
