I just submitted my first chapter of my story. Now comes the hard part of waiting for the mods to approve it. Wish me luck.
 
The mods here don't approve stories. You're waiting for a single submissions editor (and site owner), Laurel, to approve it. Just to be clear.
 
Congrats on the first story. It could take a while for Laurel to get to it, so be patient.

Cheers

Good luck!

And just so you know, even if Laurel (the one and only arbiter of Lit content) doesn't accept it at first, you'll have the opportunity to fix it and try again.

Thanks NotWise and everyone for your comments and support. I have had a couple veteran authors give me some good feedback, so fingers crossed. I have seen a number of posts on how long it takes for a new author, so I am fully expecting to wait a bit. And do rework if needed.

Congratulations! You just took the hardest step - you risked putting your writing in front of the great, unwashed masses. Good job and good luck!

Just so you set your expectations, it seems like publication approval is currently running 4-6 days. If it's just one person doing the approval, and each submission is scanned for formatting and a cursory validation of legal content, and then converted to browser display, it's got to be quite a tedious chore! I'm surprised Laurel doesn't farm some of that out, but I guess there are probably concerns about liability.
 
Posting tomorrow

I just saw that it is going to post tomorrow (4/23). :eek: :D
 
Congrats! I also got my first story published, excited to see you doing so well! Gives me hope for the newbies!
