2nd reviews for The Lorelei Signal completed and rejections have been sent out. I now have 16 stories/poems to whittle down to 7 stories / 2 poems / 1 (maybe 2) flash.

If you don't receive a rejection then I still have your story/poem in my 3rd read folder.

Planning on trying to work my way through the stories that made it to the 2nd read folder for The Lorelei Signal today. Have 39 stories/poems to whittle down to 10 total.

Gotta love the sc*mm*rs (trying to prevent them from commenting)

My posts about the issues I had over the weekend sure drew them in - I deleted quite a few comments and blocked the offenders.

Honestly, if the person is unable to access - they will not see your post telling you to contact so-n-so (s**m**r) and once they can access - they do not need your advice. Not that they really need it to begin with.

I'm back - ended up locked out of my page for 2 days after the back and forth of resetting the password. Looks like what they were doing was using my ad account to run ads. My ad account was disabled as a result of my sending an email after seeing the unusual charges pop up on my PP account. Now trying to get that all sorted with Meta and my account reinstated so I can still do my new release ads when books are released.

Problem occurred because two-factor authentication was turned on - but not linked to my phone properly. (Corrected). my phone and laptop had been deleted from the authorized devices section of the account security screen - so had to wait on FB to verify my identity.

Gotta love technology and the scammers who use it to steal.

Blasted FB Hackers - I just played change my password for about 15 minutes. I was checking my advertising account and while in the session was told I had to reenter my password - password didn't work. Reset the password - removed two people who had been added in the last hour (That I didn't add) remove a post that didn't look anything I posted - plus it was posted while I was still asleep this morning according to the time stamp. Logged out of all devices.

Logged back in on the laptop - went to log into the phone - password was an old password - so the new password had already been changed.

Went through the reset password again - removed two more posts that been added during the time I was resetting passwords. Rinse repeat - had to do it a third time.

Seems to have stuck this time. (I hope)

Let me know if you see anything weird coming from any of my accounts.

Rejections for initial reviews have been sent out - if you don't receive any email - then your story is in my second review folder.

Because of the number of submissions received - over 100 - stories that failed to follow guidelines were rejected unread.

19/02/2024

Initial reviews are completed.

Out of the 78 files that were sent in the correct file format (.rtf) 38 have been moved to the second read folder.

Out of the 40 that were moved to the rejection folder 15 where moved for failure to follow guidelines: one story was over 20k in length and while the guidelines do say that 10k in not a hard and fast rule if the story needs longer - more than doubling the posted requested max length is a bit much.

The rest were primarily the common issue of not single spacing and putting an actual blank line between paragraphs.

And just a note - dropping the f-bomb on the first page along with other 'salty' language tends to tell me you will not be keeping the obscene language to a bare minimum.

Starting on reviews of the Jan/Feb subs for The Lorelei Signal. 96 files saved (over 100 subs as some of those 96 files contain multiple poems) - out of those 18 are in a file format other than the requested .rtf format. With Lorelei Signal being a 1 woman operation, I will be transferring those 18 into a folder labeled wrong format and depending on how many stories/poems I pull from the rest of the submissions, those may receive a failed to follow guidelines rejection.

16/02/2024

Submissions are closed for the current submission period - I received a total of 116 submissions - 35 Poems and 81 stories.

Please be patient as it will take me some time to get through them.
