We are currently experiencing the perfect storm of a lot of story submissions, plus a shortage of verifiers able to give their time to the site of late.
There are 100 submissions sitting in the story queue at the moment.
Stories / poems will therefore take a little longer than usual to be published on the site.
If you'd like to fast-track your story to the top of the pile, as well as getting a higher level of editing help, please consider supporting us and purchasing a Gold Membership.
Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
