I submitted a story last night and followed the guidelines as best as I could. When I was finished the words "pending" appeared in the status box. I checked on it again this morning and that status seems to have changed to "in preview (needs to be submitted)". What does that mean? Has it been approved and is waiting to be posted on the site or did something go wrong and I need to make some changes and submit the story again?
 
I'm not sure but it sounds like you hit preview instead of submit and it's hung up...

You might check it and see.....

Maybe some of the people who have been around longer can tell you more..... I've never seen that before It's either pending, rejected or approved....
 
Yep, TxRad is right.

When you preview your story, you also have to click submit at the end of the preview, or you'll be stuck in "preview" limbo.
 
I see... that makes sense. The thing is I clicked on submit last night. It seemed fine and had "pending" in the status. But later on I went back to it and clicked on preview to see if everything was okay and nothing needed to be changed. When I checked on it again this morning it had "in preview(needs to be submitted)" in the status box...

So everytime you preview your story it needs to be submitted again?? That seems pretty odd. I'll need to remember that and just preview it before I click submit. :|
 
Each time you preview and resubmit, you start the approval sequence all over again

So do it once and then let it be.... makes getting it approved a lot faster.. and it doesn't confuse the people reading it for approval.....

Yep, that's another thing that gets new submitters (what a kinky phrase!) confused. Everytime you click the 'pending' link, you send your story back to the end of the line for review and posting.
