Is it normal to feel rejected when your story gets shot down by the mods?

It's only happened to me once but I was super pissed about it. I think they ought to at least tell you why! Especially when you see some stories that clearly don't pass the mods criteria, eg a recent one about a girl hating having her first period - um, shes probably not over eighteen? God its so annoying. Have other people had their stories rejected? What were they about? is it normal to take it personally?

    Umm... I'm just going to ask this but are you okay and why are you talking to yourself?

    Because even in Internet land that's a little cuckoo. Or have you just epically failed?

      I'm not the OP, I just sent that prematurely. So I'd like to claim that was just a little bit of an epic fail (oxymoron!). And as far as sanity goes, it's not a long trip.

          Bahahaha. It's okay, the IIN community is like one big introverted whetstone for all us dull and I might add loony xD

          I do appreciate your interest in my mental health. Feeling loved albeit a misunderstanding.

      Oh but yes, I think it's normal. But you've got to cut Management a break. There's a LOT of crap to sift through. Maybe you just needed to word the IIN portion of the question more clearly. Don't stop submitting though!
