New story still Pending a week later

[MisterWildCard]

I submitted a new story a week ago, and it's still in Pending status. I don't recall any of my previous stories taking that long to be published and visible to readers after I submitted them.

Am I being impatient? Is it normal for a story to take a week to be posted?

This time of year, it can slow down, yes.

I posted two stories on the 27th they went live on the 29th and 30th.

How did you submit? Paste or upload file? PAste is faster, files take longer.

Is the status pending or is it under the draft tab?

A week is long enough to justify a polite "has this fallen in the cracks?" PM to the submissions editor, Laurel.

Have you clicked on the title of the pending story? Everytime you do it is sent to the bottom of the list.

It's not just you - I submitted one on the 21st but didn't realise clicking on the title to read it put it to the back of the queue, so it was properly submitted on 24th, rejected on 28th, resubmitted on 29th, and still pending.

Is Laurel's username 'Laurel'? I'll leave it one more day...

Edited cuz I was wrong about the Summer Lovin' contest.

 

[KeithD]

Laurel posted stories this evening that normally would post tomorrow. She may be off on vacation.

 

[KeithD]

The Summer Lovin' contest started today, and that may delay things also. Contest stories always get priority.

The Summer Lovin' contest doesn't start for three weeks (21 August).

Oh, my bad. I saw the announcement thread and got ahead of things.

 

[MisterWildCard]

And my story got posted overnight! Phew! Thanks for your help, all!

I have a 37k-word story that has been pending for five days. The word length is about four times longer than anything I’ve ever submitted. I haven’t clicked on the title. I’ve also seen that the ‘New’ list hasn’t been very long lately, twice less than a full page. So maybe there is indeed vacation time for site folks, and a resulting backlog. I won’t clear my throat about this unless the wait goes to eight days.

I got a rejection again this morning - format problems again despite two readers saying it's fine.

Will stick italics in with HTML and cut and paste, because I've never had a problem doing that.

What are you putting in italics?

If its dialogue that is incorrect.

"Dialogue should be formatted like this," Salacious Scribe told them.

Update: The story is scheduled for publication tomorrow.
