How Long for Story Verification?

My first submission took 3 days for verification. I suppose that was because it was my first submission, because, for the next four stories, the average time was one day, the expected time as I recall reading some place. (One took two days, two took only one day, and one was actually done in less than a day.)

On Monday night of this week, that was the 19th, I submitted my sixth story to Lush. We are now into the fourth day without my having heard anyting about it. I know of nothing in the story that would require any extra time for verification. It looks like it may have gotten lost.

Yesterday afternoon, I sent a PM about this to someone on the staff named 'Callisto'. He wrote back an hour or so later that it was in verification and that he had passed my message on to the moderator who, he said, I would shortly hear from.

It is now day four and I have not heard further.

I hope someone can tell me -- Should I be at all concerned, or is this something that happens every so often. Have I maybe done something wrong. I don't want to complain if this is at least a sometime soccurrence. On the other hand, it would be nice to know what is going on and when I might expect to hear something.

It does look like something is happening to the story. The view count is up to 39. (Yesterday morning it was only about 20, so something is happening.)
No, your story is there, along with 38 others. Waiting times can very depending on the number of moderators available at any given time. During the week, many moderators are busy with their real jobs and as we are approaching a holiday in the US, some of our volunteer staff tend to become busy with that as well.
I'm sure it will be processed in due course.

The Wild Girl anthology need not be read in any order but does take place in the following timeframe

Wild at Heart- 1968. The story of Dani’s Great Aunt Evie.

Thank you again for your help. Can you explain why the view count is already in the high thirties? Also can you guess when it might be released?

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I would imagine that the queue is high because Lush is a popular site and there are many authors on here, whether they be veterans or newbies, who wish to see their work on the home page. We get inundated with submissions and the team work relentlessly to ensure everyone is dealt with as quickly and effectively as possible. It is much easier for us when people familiarise themselves with our guidelines and even do a little reading, to understand the quality we are striving to maintain. We hate returning stories to authors and we will work to support anyone to ensure there work is seen by everyone, whether that be in one hour or one week. As it has been stated on this site before, we are a bunch of volunteers from all over the globe and yes we do have lives outside of lush.

Another note, I have released your story. Best of luck with your writing.
I got a reply.

It looks like something happened in the transfer of the story from my system to yours. It seems that a bunch of spaces have been introduced within the words themselves. I'm not sure how this happened - it's not that way in the saved original I have on my system. I suspect that it may be related to the software I use for story development, (Libre Writer). Anyway, I'm going to get it fixed and resubmit.

Thanks again for your help.
Also, I noticed it hasn't been mentioned yet, but it you become a gold member, your story will immediately go to the top of the list for verification. You will get your stories on here faster, and support a great website at the same time.

I was thinking that that was one of the benefits of supporting the site...my first story, "My Favourite Word", took less than an hour from submission to post, IIRC. Subsequent stories have ranged from less than an hour to a maximum of twelve hours, submission time to post time.

Thanks for helping me to get it posted. I am convinced that all those spaces were from pasting in an unrecognized file format. You must have spent days trying to fix those. Thank you! It only took me a couple more hours to get it ready for resubmission. It's now approved, yeah, and already close to 1000 views. Thanks!

BTW: The view count I was talking about, (39 if I recall), was all before it had been approved. Those must have been your views as you were trying to fix the spaces. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to look into it.

I read the story you had in your signature line. Fantastic! I'm going to be looking at some more of your stuff.
