How long does it take normally to post a story?

How long does it take normally to post a story? I submitted one August 21 and figured it would take 2-3 days like the first four stories I submitted took.

It is a word document so I don't know if that has some relationship to its delay but the other 4 were word documents as well.

Yep, that's far too long. It normally doesn't take more than five days. Either you didn't really get it submitted (check for it saying "pending" on your submissions page), you've tinkered with it (which sends it back to the end of the queue), it's been rejected and you didn't notice that it had been (the word "rejected" where "pending" should be marked), or it has fallen in the cracks, which does happen occasionally. If you can find no other explanation, it's time to send a PM (private message; upper right of this page) to the site editor, Laurel, asking her for a status check.
