my submissions are being ignored

Ignored meaning they sit in Pending forever without being either approved or sent back?

Correct.

I’ve submitted 2 stories the past week - they get submitted ok and then don’t even show in my pending
I’m starting to think about giving up posting stories here

You might have better luck posting for help in the Author's Hang-out.

Long delays in getting approved are common and there's lots of threads about it but not showing up in pending sounds like a very different issue

I think they’re overwhelmed especially if it’s a popular category. Maybe unsubmit them and try one at a time as that worked for another author.

Well when I submit and it sits there for weeks and resubmit and it continues into months without a review - that equals being ignored.

Well, or a bug in the system making your stories invisible to the staff. I am, I admit, confused by their also ignoring your bug reports.

The stories are appearing as pending. I have e-mailed "Laurel" which was useless.

Some other writers on Literotica suspect - they are being willfully ignored because my stories are interracial
but not the typical degrading interracial stories. I show black and white seductions that become healthy relationships.

Submissives should be able to handle being ignored at times. If not, they need more discipline.

Wait, did I read that wrong?

 

[princeShaka]

You have a lousy attitude.

 

[Aquelle]

We are talking about months of not responding to any submissions. Your comment is nonsense.

Nonsense I say!

Any particular place in Author's Hangout? Thanks.

I doubt anything ever gets "willfully ignored." That implies malice.

It's more evident that there's been a technical glitch for a month or two, which means stories are remaining hidden for some reason.

The most consistent advice at the moment is to resubmit your stories, which hopefully gets the submission back into the queue. Trying to find other "reasons" is speculative and not helpful. It might feel personal, but why would it be?

@princeShaka, et al
Good evening my dear colleague. I am sorry you feel that you are being ignored. I submit stories and they are usually published within three or four days. I would suggest that there is something diverting your submissions for some reason.

When I submit a story I do NOT use the on-site system to enter stories. I always write them on MS Word documents and when it comes to submitting them I use the "Upload" document button on the submissions page.

I always select a "Genre" to place it in, I believe this is an important step in the process.

I always use tags and use ALL possible tags that describe the story, never just one or two.

My submissions get picked up pretty well right away. The only other thing that I can imagine is happening is that if you re-submit a story you MUST make sure that the original submission is removed or the re-submission function will not work.

I don't know if any of the above will help but I will be most happy if it does.
Deepest respects,
D.
