Official Crime and Punishment 2025 Story Event Support Thread

Finally, a month after the deadline, my C&P story has been published!
Congratulations!! Did you resubmit it at any time? I have one that's getting to about a month, but it sat for a week, I took it out and resubmitted it, after another 4-5 days I took it out and made a couple of minor edits (just so maybe a "new" version would trigger something) and resubmitted it, and now it's been almost two weeks since that resubmission. At this point, I'm just going to let it sit there. 🤷‍♀️

I resubmitted 3 times, but I don’t think I was doing it right. Because I c/p my submissions rather than upload a file, you can’t really delete the story without cancelling it completely. You are only changing the text, not removing the submission.When I did cancelled it completely and resubmitted , it was scheduled for publication in a couple of hours.

I copy and paste, too. Maybe I'll try your option. Or just let it sit and see what happens. I've missed the challenge anyway. I'm also getting a bit dismayed at seeing my work (as of late) get trashed with ratings. In 2024, 84% of my stories had a rating over 4.5. For 2024, it's 37%. Not only do I doubt that my writing has suddenly tanked for no reason, but some of these newer stories have won awards on other sites. I think the trolls have taken over and it's discouraging, to say the least.
 
After more than a month in pending limbo, I think these are the lousiest Day One numbers I've ever received. If the story had been published while the event was live, they'd all be significantly higher.

Thanks a fuck ton, Lit.
