Wonder why your story was deleted?

24 Jul 2008

If your story has been deleted, it has most likely broken our site guidelines. Please do not resubmit it, or your account will probably be terminated.

Please refer to this post: http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst463_Story-deletion.aspx

In addition to those notes, stories will be deleted on sight:

- if they are too short
- of such a substandard quality in terms of lack of structure, no plot, mindless ramblings

I thought I should add those 2 extra clauses as I've had to delete some absolute dross this last week. Please don't waste your and our moderator team's time submitting if you know your story falls into this category.

Thanks to all those who have been submitting great stories, 99% of authors here are excellent Lapplause

I had a story rejected for a reason that I won't go into here. It would have been nearly impossible to rewrite it. (No, it was not the age limit.) It now happily sits on another site. I have three sites where I post, which gives me more options.

Gosh, I’m glad you allow a little bit of rambling. I wouldn’t be me without a bit of rambling. Having said that, I have got a bit better lately. My stories are getting shorter. Regards, Verity

Be nice to each other

I was allowed to resubmit a story with some fairly small changes. These had to do with Norman Mailer, of all people, who was still alive at the time of the story - I think it took place in 1975. The problem is too complicated to describe here. It only required dropping a few lines. (He's not even in the story; it's just somebody talking about him.)

I once tried to sneak in a line from "Soul Kitchen" (The Doors/Patti Smith) but the moderator just deleted it without telling me. No big deal, but it was amusing to see that it was gone.

I've had a few deleted, but that's because I came to my senses and poked the button. At least I think that's what happened. It was late and I might have been a shade tipsy. Whatever. They're gone and who cares?
