I was going to submit my story (Girl Fight won out) when the cover was finished so I could submit them both at the same time. If it would be better to submit it earlier I definitely will. 😊 I would send Jo the story now this way she can get everything formatted together if she wants then just add in the cover when your people are done with. OK. Will do. Smack heads, then submit story. ✊

Quick question: Is there a way on this board to be alerted when someone comments? Or at least when someone quotes you or something? So I don't have to check this motherfucker every 15 minutes? 😭

Story submitted. After a bit of a fight.
I received an error that threw me for a minute:
"Errors found: One of the fields contains the word "force." We do not accept rape/force stories."
So I scanned my fields and found out where it is. In my synopsis, talking about one of the main characters:
"A survivor of longtime sexual abuse, she is a girl with a shattered past who has been forced since childhood to fight for her life. Literally." 😂

MasterCard won't let them accept anything that's full incest (though step-relations are still fine for now) and they imposed a whole long list of forbidden keywords on Fiction4All. Some of them are pretty absurd. For instance, you can't submit the word 'childbirth' because the word 'child' is part of it. The word 'forced' is banned to try and keep them from accepting rape stories (though that's their most popular genre). Authors get around it by using alternate words like 'required,' then select the non-consensual genre, which MasterCard still hasn't realized is the same as rape. When they finally catch on to that one, Fiction4All is going to die a painful death. We had to include the same keywords in our script so we don't submit something that will get them (or any other publishers) in trouble.

The anthology is all put together and ready to go, except we need the cover image sent to us, and a consensus on what the short description is going to be. Once we have that, we'll compile all the genre information and keywords from everyone's individual submissions, and process a completed anthology submission through the submission form. It creates an individualized script we use to publish the book to all relevant sites, and putting all that information together can take some time. If someone can please provide those two pieces we still need, we can probably get it published as soon as tomorrow if that's what you want.

I'm waiting for my minions to make a few last-minute tweaks to the cover (spacing between the hearts and names, etc.), so I should have it to you by tomorrow. 😊

Hi, Jo. Unless anyone would like to add or revise, I think the short description is:
"Aching for more than a one night stand? Then you'll savor these five tales of tender love. The Bad Girls of Erotica are back, and this time they're revealing their sensitive sides. Snuggle up with this collection of passionate encounters, magical mysteries, and love where you least expect it. Because even bad girls know: kinky sex can be fun, but sweet romance is even better!"
