Is there a way to delete a story I have posted

[NaugthyRambler]

I have posted a story for which I am trying to post a second chapter. That story is kept pending for almost two weeks now. It's not sent back to drafts nor published.
I am thinking of deleting the first chapter and post a combined story.
Any help in this regard is very helpful

I suggest you just wait.

It's Christmas, Laurel might be taking it slow - that generally happens this time of year.

If you click to edit the story and save but not publish it, that will knock the story out of the pending queue and back to your drafts. You can then finish it up and re-submit it once you're ready. The pending time will restart from your new submitted date.

How long is your story? There's varying thoughts on how long before it's ideal to split it in parts, or post it in one, but either way it's best to complete the entire story before posting any part.

Pending time itself is very variable, I've had my pending times range from less than 12 minutes, and up to a month.

Thank you very much for your response. I will wait for few more days

Dear Katie
My story is very long and also episodic in nature. In my opinion it was best suited to go in parts and I thought the heat builds up in a nice way too in this fashion
At the first chapter was published within a few hours I thought the second one will be published soon too.
Do you know if some more popular categories have a longer waiting period?
Thank you very much for your response
