Publishing process?

Does anyone know how long it actually takes (been more than the claimed 72 hours) to get a story approved for posting? Who reviews them?

Anxiously waiting to see my first story up...

You've just provided this forum with an excuse for a drink, in the "AH Drinking game."

The answer is five days to a week, depending on whether or not there's a competition going, which makes regular submissions take longer...

It's frustrating to have to wait!

Hi there!

The current wait time is - and has been for the last several months - 48-72 hours for all text-only (not illustrated or with audio) submissions.

If your story has been pending for longer than that, it's possible that you may have opened the pending submission and hit SUBMIT more than once. Stories and poems are approved by date, oldest to newest. Whenever the author makes changes to a story or poem - or even if the author clicks on the submission and hits SUBMIT again - that submission is moved to the end of the queue. To speed up the posting of your work, only make changes when necessary.

Hope this helps! You can PM me if you have questions on a specific submission.

Thanks so much! My story was just accepted and posted so all my anxieties are allayed. Now if I can only figure out how to display my profile pic as my avatar... grrrr...

It's very simple actually, post another 98 times.
