OWL question?

[madeleone]

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.

Well, I have had stories posted there before, but I am not a validated author so I expected it to go through the queue. It has never taken this long before though. But it has been quite awhile since I have posted there. So I wasn't sure if this was the norm now.

I received an IM from someone on my flist who said she is on staff but has been unable to access the necessary parts of the forum to work the queue. And she knows that she is not the only one, but she has not got a response back to her e-mails. She suggested I post a question to the forum and someone who has access may notice it. So I may try that.

I do worry about my favorite forums after the demise of Coloured Grey a while back, a lot of great HG/DM fic vanished when that archives disappeared.

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.
