Site prob? Pending stories.

[LitEroCat]

Hey guys- Happy New Year!
New year, same old year problems? I have 3 stories pending for some time. The one before that took 6 weeks to get online.

I have had problems before with stories vanishing from the IN queue and one even left the site after 32000 reads. Can you check if you can see these in your list?
Since 12/11/17 TIMEGASMS 5 update---
since 12/26 Genocide News ----
since 12/23 PSYCHED

I have PMd Laurel but get no response.
Thanks

Just to cover the base: You're absolutely sure the stories are under the "Pending" tab and not the "Drafts" tab, correct?

That seems to be what's causing most of the delayed postings of late.

There's a DRAFTS tab? Snooze to me. I'm looking at my SUBMISSIONS page and they are all marked PENDING.

Well, if you're only using the old control panel, you shouldn't be able to put something in the drafts tab, at least on purpose.

I'd recommend checking the new control panel and making sure they're all listed as "pending" in case something went hokey. I don't know how a draft might show up in the old panel.

You should see every story you expect to be in the queue right here:

https://literotica.com/my/#/works/stories/pending

If any of them are here:

https://literotica.com/my/#/works/stories/drafts

You need to click on them, scroll to the bottom, click the preview button, and then submit.

Thanks for the pointers. I show 0 drafts and 4 pending. I'll have to figure out what a draft is here. The pending date on the oldest is 12/22, but I sent it in on 12/11.
Any idea if Laurel is away?

There have been some stories falling into cracks of the new infrastructure that aren't showing up in Laurel's queue as they should. I talked to her via PM just a couple of days ago, so I doubt she's on vacation or anything. From what I've heard in the past, she hasn't really taken more than a couple of days here and there away from the site since its inception.

From what I've seen, a PM has typically solved this problem. Laurel searches for the specific submission and puts it thorough the queue on the next run. Maybe your PMs are falling into a wormhole as well...

They do read this forum section, even if they don't constantly respond, so maybe this thread will be the kicker that will get your lost submissions located and approved.

Update: Progress! 1 story has been rejected as 'snuff' - my murder/mystery/sex story PSYCHED, though not snuff (rape/murder w/o willing consent). Except for the sex parts, not rape, it's similar to an old Twilight Zone story which was acceptable for public TV. OK. Progress.
