I've seen the 72 hours post, and I am fully on board with being patient and waiting. I appreciate all the time and effort the publishing team is putting in. I am however curious if anyone knows roughly how long publishing is taking currently. my first story is sitting at Pending for over three weeks now and I"m just a little curious if that's typical at the moment or if I should start being worried now.

I had one sit for seven weeks. I'm told there's a glitch and some stories instead of going to the editorial team (Laurel) just sit in essentially a black hole.

At three weeks, message Laurel politely and let her know.
No one knows how long the que is, and sometimes stuff gets missed. Three weeks is outside the norm though.

Yes, this, and I was advised to withdraw the story -- completely -- and resubmit it immediately, with a polite note to Laurel explaining that it's being resubmitted after sitting in Pending for weeks.

Be aware that @Laurel NEVER responds to notes on your story or to PMs. But she sees them.
 
My latest chapter of an ongoing story posted today, less than 48 hours after submission.

It seems to be totally hit or miss. Most of mine run around 48-72 hours. Then my entry to our chain story took over a week until I PMed Laurel. After that, back to 48 hours.
 
I've taken up to 10 days to see things posted, but not longer - I'd definitely email through with a query if it ran much more than that.
