Question about "pending"

[durablue]

I noticed on my author page where it says "pending" the word is now black instead of light blue and there is a date, too.

I'm new and I've lurked for a month trying to figure how to go about this the right way so I don't mess up LOL. I assume (*grin* I'm sure you guys know what they say about assuming!) that the story will post tomorrow since that is the date posted.

Stupid question, I know! What else could it mean, right? I guess I'm looking for someone to reassure me that I'm right since I had no experience. I've read that it can take longer for a new author to post so I was surprised that it was accepted in 2 days.

I haven't seen a question like this, and if I missed it, I'm sorry. I'm on nights right now and I'm a little fuzzy

Thanks guys,

Dura Blue

And 12:01 EST or soon thereafter, on the date on your submission, your story will be available for readers to peruse.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Laurel and Manu automate the process when they want a day off... Hence the date appears and you can't click pending anymore.

But that's probably not true.

Congratulations on your first story!

That is pretty much true. Pending with a date next to it is a story that is scheduled for posting.

Days off are only one of the reasons a story might be flagged for posting on a specific date, but it is one of the reasons for delayed approvals.

Hi, Durablue, and welcome to Literotica and the AH. That is a perfectly reasonable question, and it has already been answered. It is 2:00PM now, so the story should be posted in seven hours.
