blargh...my story is 'pending'

[Le Jacquelope]

Ok so I've submitted my first story.

So how long will it stay 'pending' before it moves to a point where I can have everyone look at it?

Hmmmmmm..... I don't see any info on how this 'moves along'...

Hi dear,

It can take from a few days to a week or two before your story is posted onto the Litland site for all and sundry to read.

Have patience, it'll get there!

BTW is this the same story as the one you sent me?

Dear LT,
Congratulations on submitting. A writer who has a story pending is called a "pendejo" around here. Be proud.

Yup! And the vocabulary has been edited a bit.

I'm too anxious.. a darned week, for crying out loud! But I ain't complaining. This site is the Mall of America of erotica, and for free. If this is the catch then so be it!

 

[wildsweetone]

so... do you want or need my feedback or not?

sorry i was unable to get to it sooner.

 

[Guest]

*sigh*

Me too.

I submitted more than a week ago, and nothing yet!

It seems when there is a story contest the submissions tend to lag behind just a bit (they just finished the Earth Day Contest). So I suppose this isn't unexpected.

But damn it! I want my next story up!!!!

 

[Le Jacquelope]

sorry i was unable to get to it sooner.

Oh I'd love to get some feedback!

 

[wildsweetone]

on what i have now or on the version that is submitted?

Oh I can send ya the revised one, it isn't TOO much different... the vocabulary has been a bit changed... is it wise to include as an attachment to a post..?

 

[wildsweetone]

...okay so i wont continue with the comments i've begun on this one.

i guess it's only wise to send it as an attachment if you have a clean virus free computer. i will endeavour to use my own virus checker on the attachment when it arrives.

Oh, my changes aren't THAT drastic... don't erase your comments! But here's the final cut

 

[wildsweetone]

WOW i misunderstood! edit your post dear and delete the attachment. i assumed you were going to email it to me like you did the original story. sorry.

Whoops! Silly me.. lemme send it via email..lol... sorry .. one too many diet cokes, I guess!

 

[wildsweetone]

diet cokes? darn... i was going to use my herbal tea as my excuse... but i have a distinct feeling it's something more visual.

glad you caught it before anyone downloaded it.

i'm offline for the night after this, (it's 5.30pm here) but expect to be around tomorrow to do it all again.



sweetsubsarrah! i'll keep an eye out for your story

A pendejo, eh? That's spanish for something, ain't it?

 

[Just-Legal]

Knowing MG, its either...

a) Something not nice in Spanish

OR

b) Something made up in convincing Pseudo-Spanish.

Or its Esperanto but I'm leaving that WELL alone

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Knowing MG, it's always a safe bet to go with B.

But, knowing Spanish, I have to tell you that it's alternative A.


"Pendejo" means "coward" in Spanish.

Si. "Pendejo" doesn't really translate into English, but it isn't a compliment. It's usually a part of a string of expletives. Sorry, I just couldn't help it.
