As lushstories.com becomes increasingly popular, our moderators are being put under more and more pressure, with story submissions coming in thicker and faster.
We no longer have the luxury of time to "fix" stories as we have done previously, and with a generous spirit.
Please remember, we are NOT an editing service. Story moderators act as the quality control for the site, and give guidance to authors where necessary. They are volunteers, not paid editors.
I have given the team a more rigid set of guidelines, as to how we are should process stories moving forward.
The starting point to ensure your story gets verified first time, is to read this thread:
Advice before submitting a story
It will be assumed that you have read and digested the contents of the above.
There is some leeway, we are all human, and mistakes do happen - however, if we see more than 3 or 4 errors in the opening paragraphs, the story will be sent back to the author. If it's littered with mistakes at the outset, that's a sure sign the rest hasn't been checked thoroughly too.
This may seem a fairly harsh stance, but we have already processed 966 stories in the first 3 weeks of the year, and it's become increasingly necessary to put these measures in place.
The quality of stories has a knock-on effect throughout the site. It's in everyone's best interests, to make sure you submit a story to the best of your ability, and that we publish only high quality work.
Thank you all for your continued support of the site, and for your valued story submissions.
Cheers,
Nicola
