I have another friend on here who has been trying for 3 days to get her story accepted. She even ran it through grammarly. She has posted five other stories successfully and this one won't get through. And there is nothing major wrong with it
Please tell her she can reach out to Sprite(only because she offered), me, or any other Senior mod or Admin.

Is this a good place to discuss overly strict story submission issues?
Hello. This is a good place or you can always reach out to any Senior Mod (Listed as just Moderators) or Admin if you have concerns. https://www.lushstories.com/meet-team
We understand the frustration that you and others may be feeling. We also try not to compare ourselves to other story sites, which means our ways are not their ways. This is not dismissing your concern, just letting you know that we function differently.
We do not want our members to feel as if they can’t be published here. We have a thread here https://www.lushstories.com/forum/writing-resources/before-you-submit-a-story that we typically go by. Of course, there are other things, but these are the main standards that we look for. We are all volunteers and sometimes there are inconsistencies among us, but the things in that thread, we are all together on.
A few of the huge things we look for are dialogue format, story format such as no indents, paragraphs and titles, tenses, spelling, run-on, overuse of … !!!, too many repeated letters (ooooohhhhhhhh), etc, confusing plots, and breaking our site rules just to name a few. They are all in that thread.
This goes for everyone, if you feel that you have completed all of those and you are still not getting published, please reach out to one of us and we can discuss it.
