Story stuck in pending for 10 days

[JuliusIncestus]

Hello, I published part 2 to another story I published earlier. The first part took like two days, and I published part 2 on the 29th, which is still pending. What gives?

Other priorities - anthologies and maybe a contest,

Two days might have been lucky, but ten days is a bit of a stretch. PM Laurel, be polite.

Where do I find Laurel?

PM (envelope, top right this page) - start a new conversation with Laurel

She's the site owner and editor. Provide her with a link to your Draft. You probably won't get a response (unless she rejects your story, and then you get a "Returned" (or "Rejected") notification on your Works list), but your story status should change.

What is “too early” to send Laurel a DM about pending stories? Just so I don’t unnecessarily send anything.

2 - 5 days is fairly typical, a day or two longer if you're a newbie writer, because your story is going to screened a little tighter for content compliance.

Thanks for this - that being the case, see you all on Monday!

How long does it take for her to respond usually?

She probably won't. Your story will either change status (which means it will publish in a day or two), or it will be rejected, and you'll get a notification through your Control Panel).

The story is published now. Thank you for the help

I might try then. Thanks for the headsup.
