Four submitted.  Four rejected.  Only one story I've written included any of
conlanging -- the very first version of Telek, though back then it had a
different name and was ergative instead of active.  In fact, the other thing
that has remained the same are the words _lajhosa_ 'life' and _jedoren_ 'fire
(uncontrolled)'.  In fact, in rereading the story a couple weeks ago, I was
unable to determine what anything meant except a phrase meaning "Life Mother".
