It isn't fun to have to send a story back to the author. It's actually a lot more work to do that than to click 'verify.' When sending a story back, we have to make mental notes through the story of which problems to address with the authors. Then we have to write a message to them addressing each issue and advise them on steps to take to fix those. We then attach links that site leaders have created to help authors with such problems as punctuation, verb tense, dialogue structure, content that is not allowed, proofing, etc.
It is a much more fun to click verify and know that the author is getting a message stating that their story is approved. What is really a lot of fun is to catch a story that is grammatically superior and so well written, with such a great workable storyline, that it is exceptionable and we can give it a Recommended Read.
I really suggest that when you write a story that you shoot for that goal. Every time you write a story, do your best to surpass your previous story. Push yourself to grow as a writer.

Actually, suspention was the gibbled garb I was thinking of.
Four years later you're the same guy... How did you earn those Editor's Choice ribbons? You can't write for shit and you sure as hell can't spell. What's your secret, Jack?

So... How drunk were you when you thought the word suspended was a misspelling of the word suspension?
