Mine was in queue for 60 days because there was already a full batch posted before mine for the first month

I know the conventional wisdom is that Illustrated gets done in batches, but the posting dates for the stories do not seem to reflect that. Very few days have more than one story listed, at least in the last six months. Maybe the procedure has changed? It doesn't seem likely that dozens of them are missing or mislabeled, anyway.

If you've submitted illustrated stories, prepare for a long wait. From previous threads over the years, it's been established that illustrated stories get done in batches, maybe once a month, even longer.

Laurel is the only go to person, the site editor.

I have submitted normal stories with just text in it.. I lost hopes about those illustrated ones. Do you think the normal stories are going to take long to get accepted as well?

No you can't speed up the process. That would be cutting in line.

Sometimes it seems like any account that has rejections on its resume gets some slow publication periods. There's no data on that, just vibes, anecdotal mentions from others, and my own experience.

Just strap in and wait like we all did.

Laurel is likely spacing them out for publication so they don't swamp the new submissions pages.

The small number of stories and the multiple days between most of them doesn't make that seem likely. Two so far in March, four in February, five in Jan, two in Dec 24, four in November 24. There were ten last October, with a stretch of four consecutive days in there which looks like it could plausibly be spaced out by design. Still, 27 stories in six months or so doesn't seem like a swamp risk.
