no accepted submissions yet

[Stella_Omega]

it's been a week- I think.
I was SO excited yesterday, because on my control panel it showed three submissions accepted. (out of five)
Today, that zero is showing once again, although the three stories show they have been looked at and pending. There are no notes, nothing that says looked at and rejected...
The three that were looked at are parts of a longer story- I don't have them all submitted yet. Could it be that I don't get to submit parts of a story until I can submit the whole thing?
I want to see what reaction I get before I continue the arduous editing process!
I know that I showed up here at a slow point. I just need some reassurance...

(edited out that sad face- more drama than necessary)

don't worry

 

[Willow Rain]

Nothing to worry about yet

Submissions seem to be going a little slower than normal. Don't fret.

There's never enough drama.

As others have said... hang tight, don't worry, the waiting will be over soon (and then you can start obsessing over the feedback and scores ).

Now who would do such a thing as obsess over feedback and scores?

Oh! All us writer types.... who else.....

Yep, I blame the feed.

Not that I give a toss about the scores, of course, it's just fun watching them rise, plummit, rise, plummit, rise, plummit, then begin to steady a bit. I've found it all works out ok in the end, if you have skin as thick as a rhino, which also happens over time, and comes as a result of the feed, I believe.

would you call those feedback callouses?

 

[Guest]

would you call those feedback callouses?

Yes, I think I would, but I don't intend to take a pumice stone to them. I like to stroke them.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Seems to me they'd itch...

i think the stroking is where i got mine in the first place

 

[Guest]

Sometimes, but it's where the itch leads that can be fun.

(Your stories posted yet? Sorry, couldn't resist, but what with going off on this tangent and all, I thought it might help send them some good vibes. )

 

[Guest]

Hahaha! Oooh, no, in that case, I wouldn't stroke them, or itch them, or anything like that. Licking, however...

(I think I'd better get to bed. )

 

[TxRad]

If I ain't stroking by the end then why am i writing it???? Or maybe it needs to be rewritten.....

I like the callouses part.... Just so they don't get to thick and we forget what we're here for....

Noooo! I keep checking back on my control panel thingie and I keep seeing the same big duck's egg. You'd think Laurel would jump the queue for me- even though she doesn't know me from Adam.
Well, she'll know me from Adam soon enough... heh.

 

[Liar]

Took me 8 days to get mine through just recently.

So any day now.

Lickings goood......

I think it was around that on my new one also....

If I could remember what day I actually posted them on...


well, I can't do anything but wait, dammit!

Yes! The cheek of it! You'd think she'd push it right to the front of the queue. Especially now you've started up a thread about it.

I know you from Adam, cos if you were Adam, I'd be about to drag you off to bed.

(My hubby's called Adam. )

ME!!! Me, me, I obsess, me!

Here's some roller coasting for you (why should I only drive myself crazy? )... I was astonished to see my one and only BDSM story get to the BDSM 500 list. And then, pitter patter pitter patter, it climbed. And then, thud thud thud thud, it got to the top 5. And then, thuditty thud thuditty thuditty thud thuditty, oh wow, #1. Then someone gave me a 3 vote (yup, obsessive tracking) and awww, plunged to #17. Ok, I don't MIND a 3 vote, probably what it deserves, but why not give me a clue why? What does a girl have to do to get feedback?

Wait, wait, I'm not done yet. You know what's worse than a rollercoaster ride? No ride at all! I think my latest is my best. Honestly, far better than the BDSM. Nobody's reading the damn thing!! Aaargh! Somebody please read "Sunset over Cairo"!!! I swear, I'll never write another Non-Erotic again.

I'm better now. I'm going back to quietly obsessing.

Licking's yummalicious.

Right, that's me, I really do need to go. All this talk of licking...

Somewhere I read an article about Amazon's ratings system, and who few purchases it takes one way or another to change an item's standings.
I'll read your story, not everything has to be erotic for me

 

[Alexis Haines]

Sob... thanks, you can always rely on a Brit to do the right thing! (Well, except this one, maybe!)

 

[Alexis Haines]

Stella!! Stella's my heroine! I love Stella! WHOOEEEE!

Hey, Stella? Seriously, is there anything you're looking for feedback on? Let me know and I'll PM. I'm gently objective and have a good eye, believe it or not. And I absolutely believe in returning favors.

Thanks, you get a flower too...

Incidentally, my partner picked up on something somewhere (around the time your and TXRad's submissions went in) about the servers going down. You may have gone from 3 submissions back to 0 if they had to roll back the system to an earlier date/time.
