New story stuck in limbo - am I doing something wrong?

[Luciaslave]

Hello,
Not sure if this is the right space for this question but I'm trying to understand if there is some reason that I am not aware of why my latest story has been "pending" for over two weeks.
It's not an issue per se, i am in no rush, but as publication times were much shorter for other stories I'm wondering if I did something wrong or maybe it's summer and editors are - rightly so - on holiday?
I tried editing and re submitting in case there was something wrong with the first submission but it's been couple of weeks and nothing.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Lucia

It's slow at the moment for many people. It often is, this time of year.

Also, I suspect the site is spending a lot of time figuring out how to cope with a bunch of new law in various countries requiring age verification for adult sites. Folk in the UK are finding, for example, that they can no longer access Lit audio files, which, no coincidence, happened the day the UK promulgated their age verification law. The site has recently shut down access to its visual content, for the same reason.

I suspect here in Oz a similar thing will happen when new law takes effect, prohibiting under sixteens accessing social media sites. How that's going to work, no idea.

If you edit and resubmit, your clock starts all over again. Don't do that.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

I'll wait patiently
