Same thing happened for me too today.. 13 rejected here

@ OP - Articles written by a native English speaker are only a small part of the equation. Had you read up here in the AC subforum to know about the kind of specifics AC wants, proper keyword usage etc?

@ BH_Manic - If you had 70 in a row accepted (great numbers btw) and then 13 rejected in a row it could be an indication that 1) your PV's are too low for the amount of published articles you have 2) you're hitting them too hard and heavy (perhaps with a certain niche) 3) you got an ultra picky editor.

Too bad. I got my wild card assignment published today which i submitted on 13 dec 2009.

are you in this country?
Are you writing about gibberish?

I would think if you are wring good content in a semi decent niche, this should not happen...

I would recomend taking their sugestions...if at all possable...
