Hey, I submitted a story just over a week ago and it's still in the pending stage. I've submitted 30 stories previously and normally within 3 to 4 days they were live on the website.

Is anyone aware of anything going on that's increasing the wait time?
 
It can be highly variable. I've got one EDIT still pending after 14 days, but I understand those take longer. One submitted and published today took 2 days. Just be patient.
 
I've noticed that stories in the Nov/Dec time frame take a bit longer. We got the holidays coming up and Laurel is just one person.
 
I've been wondering about this, too. I've got a number of edits that have been pending for 1-3 weeks, plus one story that's been pending for one week, and a non-fiction essay that's been languishing for nine weeks.
 
I’m about to hit 2 weeks for my story, and my last one was just over 3 weeks : /
 
Seems to be a widespread problem. I've been publishing stories for 8 years, never rejected, and the norm is a 2-4 day wait. But I have one now that's been pending seven days. I just sent a message. I'd recommend doing the same.
