I submitted a story on October 27 and it has been pending for more than two weeks. How long does it take to review?

That’s awful - I’m so sorry. There appears to be multiple things going on, but the site has said nothing and so we are all blindly groping around for some rationale.

If deleting and resubmitting hasn’t worked for you, there must be some other factor at work, I know some people have had rejections after a number of weeks (as opposed to immediately).

Whatever is going on, it sucks to be caught up in it 😢. The only thing I can add is that it’s not just you. While many stories do get published fine, a significant minority don’t and it’s awful to be in that second group.
 
I have tried contacting Laurel and Manu and it often didn't work. What do I do, and should I delete and resubmit??
It doesn't matter what the actual story is.

After 15 days, there's no value at all in waiting any longer before doing so.

That might be true of periods less than 15 days, but up to 15 days is when @Literotica said "don't do anything to it."

They didn't say what TO do after 15 days, but they know people are using this workaround and didn't say not to. They just want their 15 days before you do.

I've read several posts where (at about a month of being in pending purgatory) the author gets an automatically generated rejection with AI usage as the reason why the story gets sent back


Edit - replaced AI generated with automatically generated

Because it's a form letter does not mean it is AI generated. If the rejections were AI generated, the rejection would not be nearly immediate, not some indeterminate time in the future.

If you have even a vague shred of evidence that the rejections are AI generated, I'm all ears.

Rejections are sent back with stock-standard generic notices, it's been that way for years. They might be triggered by some kind of a bot based word scan process, but that's also been the case years before AI raised its ugly head.

Then instead of AI generated I will use the term automated because every rejection message that has to do with using AI is identical and I don't believe anyone is hand typing it nor do I believe that it is a result of an actual set of eyes reading the story.

Yes they are form letters. It would be great if the site would give detailed information as to what was wrong. It's one of the (rational) things Laurel does to improve her throughput, which I think we all applaud.

I can only imagine how very frustrating it is to be falsely accused of using AI. I know you mentioned in another thread that you only use short sentences. To me, a repetitive sentence structure, even in otherwise well written text, reads like AI. This is juts my completely uneducated observation, having never read any of your stories (that I'm aware of at least). But I am expected to differentiate AI generated from human written in student work all the time.

Automated yes, with first trigger a word bot of some sort, but there's human eyes later. Obviously there will be a standard set of response notices used, because there are only so many reasons for rejection. Roughly a dozen.

I believe you and I've seen a lot of those same posts, but this doesn't match the aggregate of what I've seen in forum messages from permanently-pending victims.

As far as it looks to me, the vast majority of stories which get stuck pending for 30 days do not ever proceed at all, and the vast majority of AI rejections (automated or otherwise) happen in under a week.

That's among cases we hear about here in AH and the Tech Support forums, anyway. Nobody here has access to the full data set.

I will say my purgatory story did finally emerge after two months (my How To story).

I have seen several other people note they got rejections after longer than 30 day waits and a few other people got published at that point. It's not a black hole there, but escape is very slow (and very possibly getting slower).

Someone else (I don't remember if it was here or another thread) mentioned the level of discontent right now. Better communication would be the easiest way to allieviate many of the complaints. Regular stats on the pending queue (and number of stories there over 15 days etc.) would be high on the list of demands, but might just start new complaints.

There seems to be a lot of instances where "delete and resubmit" yields escape, pretty promptly.

Of course we have also seen some where the story just gets stuck permanently-pending again, but so far it seems like that's rare and it's worth taking the chance.

I don't know repeated purgatories is that rare, but both escape and recapture have been noted by many commenters in one of the many threads discussing pending purgatory.

Both my stories were just sent back as AI.... after months pending!?!?

The common belief is that purgatory is actually waiting for a manual review, which sometimes take a very long time to happen.

I'm sorry it happened to you.

I have to ask. Do you use Grammarly? That does count as using AI to write your story.

If you are truly not using AI (there absolutely are false accusations, that is unfortunately unavoidable if the site wants to keep AI generated stories out), there are threads here about what to do.

I do not. Both are my work. I should put more mistakes in possibly?
