How long does it take?

[Bi_fem_Mel]

Just wondering how long it takes to have a first submission approved. I only ask as I wrote a story yesterday and am hoping it will be accepted.

The FAQ has recently been updated and says 3-7 days.

Thanks for that, it shows I'm a true blond for not looking there

I just posted one, it took three days. Be sure to ask for some feedback here once it's out.

OMG!! The QUESTION!! (Shhhhhh, Marsh. This is so much fun.)

The answer to the QUESTION seems to have escaped every newbie who posts. Fortunately, I am here to aid you as I have so many others.

First, I might say, you could look in the FAQs and find an answer, however, that answer in incomplete and not entirely accurate. You see, there is a Pre-Question answer which the FAQs try to answer, although that answer is not really correct. And there is a POST-QUESTION answer which is commonly provided by yours truely (taking a well deserved bow) and always completly accurate in every way.

So, it appears, since you have asked The QUESTION the PRE-QUESTION answer does not apply in your case. Therefore, I will jump right into and explaination of the various rulles and agreed upon regulations concerning the POST-QUESTION answer.

Why, you ask, do I simply skip the former and jump directly into the latter? You see, had you carefully read the FAQs you wouldn't have asked, and by doing so, you have fallen into the latter catagory, ie The POST-QUESTION answer. Admittely, the POST-QUESTION answer is somewhat longer and more complex than the former, but that cannot be helped at this point.

One must take an historic perspective of the question posed here. The Egyptians were said to have asked the same question on a number of occasions, much to the consternation of both the Pharaoh and the Priesthood. Later, the same question was asked of the Emperor Nero in Rome. The story goes that Rome fell because so much effort was injected into defining the answer that no one noticed the Visigoths or Goths, I forget which, invaded and slaughtered the population.

Much later, the Franco-Prussian War was fought over the answer and not long after, the British fought Napoleon over the answer too. The British, of course, won at the Battle of Trafalger Square and Lord Nelson took the answer back to England where it was hidden away for many years in the Tower of London, only to be rediscovered by me, yours truely, in 1989.

Now, is all that clear?

Jenny Jackson is just like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way. Although as I remember the movie, the only bird was posing on Mary's index finger, while she was singing "A Spoonful of Sugar." Jenny uses a different finger, for a different kind of bird.

Someone write that down! That's comic gold, I tells ya!

Sarcasm, eh? I see you just posted your first story. Would you care to start a new thread for feedback? Hmm?

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

< Sharpening pencils and unpacking scarcasm >

Oh yes, Cali... Do start a thread. We would LOVE to review your story

 

[Papa_Cali]

Sarcasm, eh? I see you just posted your first story. Would you care to start a new thread for feedback? Hmm?

Honestly no sarcasm. This whole thread is pure comic gold! In another month, I'm going to ask everyone how long it takes!

 

[yukonnights]

Duh, I thought Jenny made it all real clear??? Helped me a lot anyway.

(by the way, I've had a post for story feedback up for a couple of days with no takers. Thought everyone was gone or I had buggers)

< Cali nervously smiles as he checks his sarcasm supply... "I hope my new order comes in before the end of the month!" >

But seriously, how long does it take for them to approve stories? < that one is gonna hurt >
