Annoyed!

It's only been... what, 3 DAYS since I submitted my chapter? I thought things were getting better, but sheesh!

Maybe if I submit Chapter 7 now, it might be up by next Wednesday... but I won't get my hopes up. *grumbles*

EDIT 1/18: Oh look - it only took 4 days, and I'm already buried! *headdesk*

DOesn't surprise me. Took a week on a recent submission I did. *shrug*

And look - it only took 4 days, and I'm already buried on page two. *shakes head*

I really don't think they realize how critical it is to writers to have those things reviewed and approved promptly. They DO get lost quickly.

And it's possible, by the way, for them to pre-clear some writers that they know keep to a quality standard. The efiction software allows author validation so some writers can just automatically have their stuff posted.

Why that's not enforced to at least make THEIR lives easier, I can't fathom.

It stinks in that I imagine someone who's actually waiting for an update on Teaspoon and if it doesn't show up right away, will cruise over here to read the next chapter. Which is fine, but I imagine if they don't happen to have an LJ account, they might be less inclined to leave a review. And, as you say, things get lost quickly.

I really don't have an explanation for what goes on, but I'll take the opportunity to thank you again for putting together the Zero Room site. I wish Teaspoon still worked in that fashion.

If I'm really interested in a Teaspoon fic, I'll favorite it to get notified of updates, so I don't have to keep checking. On LJ, you could enable anonymous commenting if you think there are lurkers from Teaspoon, though I don't know if one tends to get spam that way.

That'd be helpful if the email notifications were consistent. I do have anonymous commenting enabled, but I really can't say that I get much in the way of anonymous comments. There have been one or two really nice ones, which I'd take any day over an award.
