Glitch on the date of submission vs date a story has been pending since

[TheDok]

I submitted a story on 7/31 at around seven in the evening UK and when I went to bed, it showed as pending for around five hours. The following morning at nine o'clock 8/1 it showed as pending only 3 hours, something having been reset. Today my works actvity shows it successfully submitted 7/31, but my pending file shows it has been pending since 8/1. Two questions !. Any ideas what happened? and 2. I have now waited for 8 days and it is still pending. (It is now evening in the UK) so is there a possibility this story is hung somewhere in the ether? I am aware that sometimes there is a long wait but this unusual and I have subnitted 74 stories and some poems previously

When the pending time resets, that has usually been the indication of a glitch, at least in my experience. I recommend sending Laurel a direct message here in the forum and briefly repeating what you said. Basically just the name of the story and how the submission dates have a discrepancy. I think it happens when she approves a story but it doesn't get moved to the publication queue. She probably won't respond directly, but if it was a glitch, it seems to be a quick fix on her end.
All that being said, eight days is far from a record waiting time. If it weren't for the time discrepancy, my advice would have been limited to 'be patient' a bit longer.

Thanks, I have waited longer, but not recently, I think I am trusted not to break rules and normally get published quickly. I don't like to bother Laurel, but have taken your advice. Best wishes

I also have a story pending since the same date and I naturally wanted to check if I had the same bug as yours. How do you see since how long your story has been pending? I can see the date of course but how did you know about the hours ?

 

[TheDok]

look in My Activity to see the date submitted. You can only see how many hours since submission in the first day after submission (and minutes in the first hour) under Pwnding

I see thank you

I have the same issue; my works were pending from 9/02, but then the date changed to 9/03, and they are still pending until now. So I'll probably wait for one more day (to pass the 15-day mark), then I'll try to message the moderator.

Have yours finally been published already?

Thank you.

I have seen people in the past ascribe those date changes to passing through one or more of the automated filters. Does anyone know any more whether that is likely to be true?

I messaged Laurel to ask about the glitch and the wait, and got a reply with a link to "stories waiting for more than 72 hours." After three weeks, it was rejected for being written, which it wasn't. I resubmitted with a note to say I hadn't used AI and Please could they reconsider? 29 days later, it was published

Hey
Facing similar issue with the glitch right now. Did you message the moderator and did your story go through?

Hi o/

I did send a message, but my stories are still pending.

Ah, that sucks…

Guess there’s nothing we can do but wait.
