I had to rewrite

[SpecterNecter]

I am not aware of any submission rules that are different by category. I am curious. Please link me to the rules that differ by category.

Basically you can not do any non consensual content in fan fiction..you cannot even age a fan fiction character...if a character is 17 then you can never use them sexually...u cannot age them in a story

I did kind of slip in a scene in the third chapter I thought they'd reject. They surprisingly allowed it. It was a scene where one character forced his **** into the throat of the female character.

Not the link but the exact guideline:

"Ravishment, nonconsensual, dubiously consensual, or consensual-nonconsensual fantasies involving real-life people, groups/organizations, or copyrighted characters. Literotica does not publish non-con fanfic."

FanFic/Celebrity has always had tougher guidelines due to real people frequently being depicted.

Which one of those rules does not apply outside of fanfic/celeb?

Literotica does not publish non consensual fanfic...that is the point really

I could post it with no problem with generic made up names

As I mentioned, the depiction of real people is the issue. This is the basis for the FanFic/Celebrity category.

If real people are depicted in stories published in other categories, I suspect that they would get rejected as well.

I'm not certain what I would do, but knowing myself, I'd probably simply throw the story up on Amazon instead for the Kindle Unlimited crowd to enjoy. I'm quite stubborn when it comes to my art, and am unlikely to change it unless there is an artistic reason for it.

How does that work and do you make money doing it?

Much of my scribbling doesn't stray too far from the 'norm' (I wish Norm had just stayed in the bar and kept quiet)

Instead, he went off a Cliff.

I also tried to publish a story in Celebrity and Fan Fiction that was sent back at least twice for violating the rules. I eventually got it published by taking out the celebrity names altogether and replacing them with initials that didn’t match their real identities.

So I caved, but the end result never sat right with me and after only a couple months I asked that it be changed to a different category. In that new category the story’s score actually increased.

I've never had a problem in Celebrities & Fan Fiction, except once when Laurel thought there was too much "reluctance."

I've posted a couple of them to other sites that don't allow celebrity stories. I get away with it by deleting the lst names.

If that were the case, then there would be no difference in rules per category.

In a literal sense, maybe not. In a practical sense, it appears that there are differences since few, if any stories depicting real life people are published in other categories.

How does that work and do you make money doing it?

You'd have to make an account with KDP, upload your work, and if you want to enroll it into Kindle Unlimited, you get paid by the page reads. I do make money this way, though I tend to now only published to Kindle now, and not Kindle Unlimited often. KU has an exclusive clause in its contract, and I don't like having my work limited to one platform like that.

KDP? Do they pay if you don't do Kindle Unlimited?

KDP = Kindle Direct Publishing. They still pay if you upload to Kindle, but you get to set the price. You cannot publish anything on KDP that's free, however.

OK< thank you. So you can't just publish a tory and not charge?

Can you publish stuff that's out in the world already? Like things from here?

KDP is Amazon's self-publishing platform, and what you upload goes directly onto Amazon as a product. You absolutely can publish what you have here on there, but you can't do it without formatting the book properly, having a cover, a blurb for the storefront, etc. Think of it like a bookstore. You can't list your book for free at a store. It's not like Literotica.

Short stories? Poems?

Short stories? Poems?

Think of it in book format. Do you see short stories on shelves at bookstores? You can gather your short stories and make an anthology, and publish them all together in one book. Same with poetry. You cannot publish one poem. You need a poetry book of multiple poems. You really have to view it as a bookstore product.
