So I have been reading for a little while now and thought I would make a account then I just published a story and was wondering how long until it is reviewed and if it is approved by a editor how long until it would be on the site for reading? This is probably not the place to ask this but I was just wondering. Any help would be great!

Welcome to the madhouse.

By the way, this is "the" question.

Right now it is taking about two days but that can vary as you are a new author. The only one who looks at all the stories posted here is Laurel, one of the site owners.
 
How long it is on the site is your choice, indefinitely unless you remove it. It fades off the front page so to speak but people search for stories by tags so it will always get new readers. Submitting new stories draws readers that check your submission page and find older stories that way too.

I don't think this relates to the question asked in the OP.
 
Damn, you're right; I misread it. I plead old age. Take out one word and my interpretation makes sense:

Completely off the subject, but your comment on old age struck a nerve today.

This morning I took my "Welcome to Medicare" checkup/physica. Some of the questions I had to answer on the forms made me realize that I'm not in such bad shape after all.

No, Really! they were asking if I could go to the bathroom unaided, if I could wipe myself, if I could take a shower by myself, cook my own meals and so on and so on.

I may be past my prime, but apparently better than they (the medicare bureaucrats) thought I might be.

When mine finally kicked in in December I immediately picked up a PCP for the first time in about fifteen years. I was fully expecting the "Welcome" physical on either the initial "new patient" appointment or the follow-up one a couple weeks later.

He never did get around to doing a full one. After he got done reviewing the 134 years worth of family health history I gave his office; nearly fifty-nine years of my own; all the paper generated by the doctors social security sent me to during the disability appeal process; and the fact I was in possession of a virgin Medicare card with the ink still drying...I ended up with more doctors than the Pope with a head cold that were willing to poke, prod, stick, inject, extract, tape all sorts of electronics to my body, plug me into all sorts of machines, and insert things with cameras on them into dark, dark places.

After seeing the fourth different specialist in five weeks and my PCP trying to set me up with three others, I asked him at the three month regular follow-up if he was my doctor or just my appointment secretary. I went the better part of three decades without even a regular doctor. Suddenly I have a PCP, a cardiologist, a neurologist, a pulmonologist, a gastroenterologist, and being pushed to add a sleep disorder specialist, a dietician, and a psychologist to the mix also.

I thought I had graduated to retirement finally, but it looks like all I did was take on a new career: Professional Patient! :rolleyes:

At the risk of sounding rotten, I think a certain attention to grammar & punctuation might help you in the future. But Welcome to chaos central.

Damned good reminders for me, is that.

Love it. My own Appointment Secretary is a computer in the local Hospital.
I try to stay away from everyone else.

Hmmm. I've experienced none of this and no transition paperwork. Maybe it's because I'm on federal government retirement.
