waiting

[RSHornyCouple]

Hello all,

I submitted my first story a couple weeks ago. It is an illustrated story and I have been waiting for it to be posted. It says pending when I check the status. Is it normal for it to take this long. It is one of four parts and the second part is finished but I don't want to post the second part until the first is online. Any help or guideance would be great.

Normally approval takes a few days but by my understanding, Laurel saves up illustrated stories and deals with them in batches, about once a month. That might be the cause of the delay.

You could submit part 2 now and use the Notes field to say "please don't post this until after part 1 is up".

If in doubt, PM Laurel.

A first submission also takes longer as it will be read more closely for content.

Assuming Part 2 is also illustrated, you could submit it now, with a note to the editor, and it might get in the same batch. Otherwise, expect a similar delay.

Good luck

I submitted stories over 4 full years and never had one delay. 99.99% of the time I comply with Laurels rules.
