How Long Does it Generally Take to Move Out of "Pending"?

[jdolinger]

My story has been in "pending" status for over a week now. Please advise.

We're getting a lot of these threads lately. Mine's been pending for 7 weeks. There's supposedly a glitch in the system making some story submissions just go down a black hole. From what I'm told (and I'm trying this in the morning myself), if you withdraw the story, then resubmit with a note to Laurel saying you're resubmitting because of wait times, that should help get it out of the black hole.
