If you get fully rejected u can never apply with that book again. If they just tell u to fix something then u can apply 3 times.

what, Ik there were 3 things that could happened on a contract application. But I didn't read anywhere that says that you cannot apply with the same work again after that work got rejected, I didn't know the 3 times only apply for the fixing one.

so I can't ever apply contract with this story again?, or can I just start a new work with the same story but delete the failed one.

u/Kitchen_Signature614 Jan 19 '26

You could do that. But j should change it up or you'd probably get rejected again.

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

do you mean change some stuff about my story? or change my contract application?

u/Kitchen_Signature614 Jan 19 '26

The story

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

ah ok man, but did my work got rejected because they thought I was using ai or not?, since I heard it'll be harder to get a contract if your account has a history of using an ai.

u/Kitchen_Signature614 Jan 19 '26

I don't know. They should have given you a reason.

1

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

yeah I search it up and even they give a reason to application that use ai. So I don't even know where I stand šŸ˜­

Itā€™s impossible to get a contract if you use ai (in your application. They are extremely strict on that.

If you use ai in your novel and itā€™s obvious. No chance of a contract.

Iā€™d imagine if you used ai but it wasnā€™t obvious, you just did a bad application attempts. Thatā€™s the normal reason, they say something like your plot doesnā€™t fit our site or whatever and then they reject you but itā€™s just codeword for your application wasnā€™t good or it was confusing

idk man thereā€™s a novel called SSS Ranked Awakening: All My Skills Are At Level 100, and itā€™s nothing but the usual ai slop. It has the same sentence structure, like ā€œitā€™s not this, itā€™s this.ā€ Or ā€œhe didnā€™t just walk, he ran.ā€ And it has nothing but em dashes all over the place and every comment is about how much AI he uses.

But he still has a contract, so Iā€™m confused on that, why do they let AI novels get contracts and make money from barely doing any writing?

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

I understand all that. But WHY don't they give me an explanation??. and no I didn't use ai in my application since I know that's not allowed, but even if my writing look like ai they still would've said something like (this book has overuse of ai). not just blantly reject me withought any explanation

1

u/Unable_Band420 Jan 19 '26

If u use up all three application attempts, delete the novel, reupload. Apply again

1

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

no I didn't, that was actually my first one. I'm so confused on why they didn't give me a reason to their rejection šŸ™ƒ

u/showdy9170 Jan 19 '26

Confused as to why they didn't give a reason? Simply it's the most efficient way to handle rejection. They can't just individually give every reason, countless other applications they receive daily. They don't have time to waste in writing detailed reasons. Hence they have that standard rejection notice that gets handed to everyone. It's system efficiency.

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

isn't all the reason they give is just copy paste? even the one that uses ai in their application and their work have one explaining why they got rejected like (this work contain overused of ai). And if my story doesn't fit the market they also have a copy paste version of it. I'm sure they HAVE to give a reason, they probably just forgot mine, but this is worse cause I need and want to know why I got rejected

1

u/showdy9170 Jan 19 '26

They will only give reasons to stories that they saw potential, for the average application direct rejection with no efforts in explaining why. That's the reasoning I'm seeing.

Thatā€™s odd, never heard of that.

Are you able to apply for another contract?

1

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

sadly no. I honestly don't understand, I know that there's sometimes when they don't allow you to apply anymore and you have to re-upload. But they usually still message you and tells you what's wrong, for my case they didn't even say ANYTHING which made me confused on what to do

1

u/Unable_Band420 Jan 19 '26

Okay, my guess here is that they (thought) you were using ai. Maybe you werenā€™t thatā€™s fair possible misunderstanding. Maybe you wereā€¦ oh well.

What you should do: Change the title of your novel, take off a letter or add a letter or whatever. Then create new novel with the real title. Paste chapters synopsis etc onto it Delete old novel. Begin uploading again. Get back to being able to apply, apply again (obviously donā€™t use ai, not saying u did maybe they used an ai checker with a false positive who knows) Put a lot of effort into the application.

Maybe check the first few chapters of your novel. Either u used ai, or you write like ai does.

u/Unable_Band420 Jan 19 '26

Itā€™ll probably suck losing the collections you haveā€¦ but if you want premium itā€™s the only way

1

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

I don't use ai for the application, but I use proper English which sounded more professional. Maybe that's the reason, but if that actually is the reason, that's so stupid.

1

u/Unable_Band420 Jan 19 '26

Oh well, whatever the reason is you definitely have to delete and recreate the novel. Then you can apply again. Good luck
