amalthiaI submitted the first part of my Harry Potter fan fic to Restricted Section.org and it got rejected for
"Your story has significant spelling errors.
Your story contains elements that do not match canon.
Your story contains incorrectly placed punctuation. "
Okay I can live with this but I've reread this story and while yes I know I'm probably too close to the material to read it objectively, I don't think I mispelled THAT many words. I've edited this part multiple times and had other friends read it and they let me know where I went wrong with puncation or mispelling, and I fixed everything they found wrong. And I have no clue where I went in a different direction from the cannon universe. sigh :(
Has anyone else had this much trouble submitting to Restricted Section?
I think they could have at least pointed out the parts that were flawed so I could find and fix them.
Maybe someday in the far future I'll get around to editing my story again, for now I'm going to concentrate on the new parts.
I guess I should have just wrote AU at the top, though as to why a fan fic has to stick completely to canon universe is beyond me.
