Help! story vanished!

Help! pending story vanished!

I submitted a story and now it just vanished!
Initially it was "pending"

My main question is: is it ok to assume there was just a stuff-up and resubmit?

I am guessing I would have got some warning if it had been deleted for content reasons. I would like some confirmation before I resubmit.

Things I could have stuffed up:

When I first uploaded the file, I discovered that text in less-than, greater-than brackets was removed, interpreted as HTML I guess, so I replaced them with [,]. This was before actually submitting though

The title was "Q & A". could the & symbol be a problem?

After submitting, I changed the category from Lesbian sex to non consensual using the dropdown list and resubmitted. (I don't consider the content nasty, however)

I once opened the pending file to examine it once more and closed it without submitting, assuming it would be unchanged.

Send me the details in email so I can forward them to my programmer.

I can't think of any more details!

..or do you just mean email my message above?

Also, hearing no news should I just resubmit by email in a couple of days with a note? I guess it was just lost.

By the way, being sci-fi I would have prefered to submit it into the nonhuman category because that has a fantasy audience, but the characters are all human. Is it sufficient that the content is impossible?

How does one debate the correct location for a story without submitting it

It has B, but no D, S or M. (I am terrified of even saying the wrong thing and hurting someone)

It has a lot of nonconsent, given that what you would consent to and a personification of your id would ask for are different things.

It has lesbian romance, but who am I to say "Hey! lesbians! here is some nonconsensual BDSM"

Toys, mind bending, group activities are all central to the plot. Maybe there should be a 'confused' category

Yes, email me with the specifics. It's usually better to email me if the message is meant for me rather than post here.

If there's any point in the story where a character is taken against their will, it should probably go into NonConsent. However, if the action is ALL lesbian, it might belong in Lesbian. I can't really say without having read the story, though.
