Okay... mildly upset about this. Since not many people are a part of Luna, I'll explain.
- When you first join Luna and submit a story, the Mods read over to check for grammatical and spelling errors before they post it. Usually this takes a few days.
- They ask that you not send them more than one chapter at a time so they don't become flooded with chapters.
- After you've submitted so many articles of writing, you will be validated an no longer have to wait for your stories to appear. (AKA: They no longer check them before posting).
Recently (As in like... YESTERDAY), Sally posted that Submissions had been closed. This means no one can edit current stories or submit new ones. This is because so many people were getting bitchy and sending her tons of chapters instead of just waiting.
Don't get me wrong. I understand that she's flooded and needs time to catch up and has Real Life issues to take care of first. We all do. But.. It's not all that fair to the validated users, since their stories don't go through the mods.
They probably don't have a way of going around that, I'm assuming, but it would be nice if there was something like that implanted.
That way when you punish a few, you're not punishing the masses.
I can't honestly complain to her. I rarely update. But I couldn't edit one of my stories because of this. But oh well...
I'm not sure when Luna will be back up. Depending on what story I finish up next, it will either come here or just not be posted.
I just wanted to get that off my chest. Any one else who submits stories to Luna can tell me what you think here as well.
This is not a place to flame Luna or Sally. If you start I'll delete the journal, repost it and decline any comments.
I love Luna, I'm not trying to start a war.

(PS: Like I said, I can't complain much. I rarely update now a days anyway. It still seems a tad unfair for other validated authors though.)

I hope that Sally gets caught up and is able to handle all of the situation at hand... I know how that feels sometimes for I am an editer for a few authors on here and some of them get really impacient. I hope that you get some time to breathe in the mean time for you always seem busy or working on something. I will hope that the best turns out. (I know I don't have much of a say but I still hope for the best outcome :D)@ 10:08 PM EST on Thursday, April 24, 2008, kniferomance said:
I wasn't aware that validated authors couldn't update their chapters. This sucks, especially since that's the first site I link my readers to. T_T Granted, I don't update as much as I used to either, but I do work on things and I want to be able to post them when I finish them. I hope it comes back up soon.
