Pending story question

[amx99]

I wrote a story and confirm it . it has been pending for 3 days .

How long does it usually take for them to review it ?

It varies considerably. Two to four days is typical, and a week to ten days is not exactly uncommon.
There is a contest going on, which can add a day or two of waiting to non-contest stories. Some categories, such as Non-consent, probably get a bit of extra scrutiny since the subject matter skirts the boundaries of what kind of content the site allows. If it's your first submission, many people report that it takes a little longer, possibly because they're checking it closely to make sure it complies with the submission guidelines.

I currently have three stories pending. My first one got published within a week, but since then… nothing. The oldest has been pending for almost three weeks now. I know they're probably busy, but it's getting a bit frustrating.

Thank you for sharing this. My first story was published within two days. My second has been pending for six. It's a series and I was hoping to time each installment. Glad to know it could be quite a while.

Three weeks is abnormally long. You may want to direct message Laurel (aka Kitty Mama) here in the forums, because it may have gotten lost in the shuffle. I'd keep the message brief: the title of the story, when it was submitted, and a polite request to check to see if it got overlooked or misplaced or something. She often doesn't respond to such notes, but I've generally seen my long-pending works released within a day or two afterwards.

Thank you so much for the suggestion, Bamagan. I’ll try messaging Laurel. I didn’t know that was an option — really appreciate you taking the time to help!

Just curious if you're still pending..

After a few weeks, my work was rejected with a false accusation that it was done by AI. In one of them, I appealed, saying that I didn't use AI, but that since I'm Brazilian, I don't have an accent in English and I use spell checker to avoid misspellings, but never AI. The dry response continued to say that I had used AI, without further explanation of where the, even suspicious, claim came from. I found this incredibly disrespectful to me, and I see it happening to other people too. I decided to stop trying to publish on Literotica; I created a blog for myself and am happy publishing only there.

As with all of those others, post a couple of paragraphs here and we'll tear it apart .... err ... look into it and make suggestions.

I'm pretty sure newbs get looked at much closer. No proof, but I submitted a monster 70K+ words story that was approved very quickly for publication two days later.

Sometimes the line is long. The story before the quick approval took 5 days, there were zero kids even in the story and it was much shorter.
