If you are having a lengthy delay in publishing, please add the name of your story and when submitted here.

Submitting stories here is becoming like a torture for so many of us. I think these guys owe at least an explanation for the delay and a heads up on what to expect in the future.

My poem got published today, the story not yet....

Well some progress

 

[EmilyMiller]

Resubmitting worked for me. I had originally submitted a story on August 31 and it was still pending as of September 30. I resubmitted it on the 30th and just saw it was published today.

Yay!

I uploaded a couple of stories last month, about the 12th and 16th, and both of them were pending for around the two week mark. One of them was definitely processed by someone because the title was edited to add in the chapter number. I uploaded a third story and mentioned it in the author's notes, hoping that was one way to let the mods know that my stories were in pending purgatory. The third was published within a couple of days with no change to the first two.

I decided to try reuploading the first two about a week or so ago. One of them I went for the edit and reupload approach, the other I decided to fully delete and reupload to see if there was one that worked better than the other. I'm delighted to say that neither attempt worked and they're both still in pending jail

It’s so infuriating, right?

Resubmitting has worked for some people, but not everyone.

The latest entry in my main series was initially submitted on 8/6. They sent it back to me, and I resubmitted it on 8/15. Since then, I've heard nothing from the site. After reading through this thread last week, I resubmitted the story on 9/30. Since then, I still have not heard anything from the site, and it remains in Pending status.

If something is sent back, it’s likely to go on the ‘check carefully’ pile second time around. It’s possible that there is a backlog on that pile.

That was my assumption, and I've had such delays affect my posts in the past, but they've never gone on for this long.

Yeah, everything is taking longer (at least for a significant minority).

34 days wait originally, deleted it and submitted it again. 8 days now, still in 'Pending'.

I changed the title of my prose (when I deleted the (3 weeks) pending version and submitted it as new) and it was approved in 3 days. Will get posted tomorrow. I followed the same procedure with my Non erotic story yesterday (also pending for 3 weeks) so I will see if it works again.

It’s worth exploring if all else fails.

Mine is actually part of a series. So, there's little scope of changing the title tbh.

Already tried to contact the admins by reporting a bug, got no response at all till now.

This whole "Interminable Delay" thing is de-motivating me to write anything here. Have to assume others will feel the same way.

I hope Lit Mgmt realizes this.

I think they know - many of us have delivered the message.
