Posting again, for those who don't know or don't think it's important: read the guidelines! Also, this from the guidelines page:

The recent emergence of AI-assisted writing has given rise to concerns about copyright. We employ the latest in software to detect AI generated content. Although the technology is not perfect, we are confident enough in it to insist that stories submitted have a minimum of 65% confidence of human creation.



We have received submissions that not only did not meet our normal guidelines, but rated far below 65% and could be traced to other works online. Authors of work submitted below that level of confidence will be advised of the reason for rejection.



We apologize for the necessity of subjecting work to this kind of scrutiny, but we do not want to violate any creator's copyright and want to showcase only original content.

​

Additionally, we receive many submissions from outside the United States. We honor international copyright laws and will reject translations of material not in public domain or submitted without the authorization of the original author.
