Ok deleting your old story and creating a new one that you past does work. My story was approved and was live the next day.
That being said. The story has a hell of a long blank space at the end. Also the first sentence is showing an additional space between paragraphs. Neither is showing up in edit mood at all so I can not fix it on my end.
Lastly we use to be able to see what the mod might have corrected/ fixed for us once the story was approved. Does that not exist anymore? If so then how do you expect us to see where our mistakes were so can at least learn and fix it in future stories.
