Submission has been "pending" for nearly a week.

Hello everyone.

I've submitted four entries before but this is the first time I've posted here on the forums.
Was just wondering because my fifth submission has been pending for quite some time now. Usually it takes about a day, but this time it's taking a long time and I didn't know who to ask or email so I'm asking you lot.

Is this something that happens or could there have been a glitch or something? Is there something I could have done/can do, or should I wait it out? I understand that submissions can get rejected if they go against the guidelines but I always make sure everything is going as it should.
It's a fifth chapter to the story and I take a long time writing as it is, don't need website delay.

Thank you x

Usually it takes a few days, so this sounds like a long wait. Note that if you keep clicking the "pending", then the story goes to the bottom of the list, so it's like resubmitting.

PM Laurel, unless you have been clicking the pending link. Let her know how long it's been pending.

My first story here took over 3 weeks. It was very long and I submitted it over Christmas.

Only one person at Lit handles approvals. Things can get backed up.

Thank you.

I know that clicking on pending will make it go down to the bottom so I haven't done that. It finally put a date for me today. Phew.
Thanks for all your replies though.
