Is anyone else having really long waits for posting stories at OWL. I posted the first two chapters of my SS/HG fic: A Balance of Three on Sept 6th, so over three weeks ago and have not heard anything back and they are still in queue. I did send a email  about a week ago, to ask if things were just a little slow right now but never heard anything back. Just wondering.

I've recently registered there anew, and my story has been sitting in the vq for three weeks now. I see stories do get posted, but I gather all of them come from validated authors and thus are published automatically.

I know at least one of the staffers is in the middle of a massive move, and from what you're saying there may be technical malfunction of some kind going on as well if that other staffer has been having trouble accessing the queue. Posting on the forum is probably a good idea.

Oh, I share the fear, about sites going down. Once happenned to me in Lost fandom, where an entire fic site just popped out of existence together with a load of awesome fic.
Also, thank you for asking this question, I was wondering what happenned, but was kinda reluctant to ask someone publically, thinking, what if it's just me, a silly newb, and things are the way they are supposed to be. I hope everything is fine with OWL, and things are back to normal soon.

I posted the first chap of a story there well over a month ago, and it isn't even in the queue that I can see. I haven't heard anything from anyone either. I've never posted there before and just figured they might not have liked my story. Mebbe there is something else going on...

I lied, it is in the queue. Now. Odd.

Hey hon,

Just informing you that I'm tickled you're posting this fic with TPP. We are a bit run-down at the moment because the queue is long and some admins have RL issues, but we're working as fast and efficiently as we can. In fact, I tagged your chapter to work on it with clairvoyant, our latest admin. *squees* Yes, we're training a new awesome admin to join the queue works!

I haven't posted at O.W.L (or anywhere) in ages, so I don't know what's going on over there, but it does seem odd that admins can't access the queue and that no one is answering e mails. It's kind of worrisome, actually. Have you tried contacting Potion Mistress directly? She's the Head Administrator and Webmistress at O.W.L. Her LJ name is ordinary_magic. I just checked her journal, and it hasn't been updated since May. Hum... I hope she's ok. :/
