Seems like the recent threads that dealt with stories being in pending purgatory for weeks and sometimes months have disappeared. Hopefully that means someone is working on that bug.

I still have three stories in pending purgatory for ~ 3 weeks. As well as two newer stories for The Geek Pride Challenge which I hope don't end up in pending purgatory.

My Villanelle (non-erotic poetry) which I submitted yesterday is set to go live tomorrow, that means the bug is in the story pipeline.
 
Have they been deleted, or have they been moved to the AH?

I've seen at least a couple that have been moved here, so they probably all have.
 
Well, it makes sense, I suppose. The AH essentially acts as Literotica's writing workforce, customer support, and PR department at the same time, all the while requiring zero payment for the services rendered.

The only thing that covers that kind of behavior is... slavery?

At least it's fully consensual, so no rules are broken.
 
AH is the new tech support, they’ve outsourced it to us 🤣

*Furiously starts jotting down...*

...and this is how AH has opened up a new hotline for tech support for kinky stories and the pending limbo, and every single call will always end up in phone sex no matter what.

There. I know this isn't the Plot Bunny Pens, but whatever.

We call them volunteers in my country. Your mind set might differ :).
 
The thing is that it doesn't really matter in which forum these threads appear because site management will simply never respond to them. Moving them is some kind of weird bureaucratic pettiness.

Must be different mindsets. In my country, people volunteer to do pro bono work for humanitarian organizations, for their communities, and so on. But certainly not for commercial websites and such.

I wish I had some of you Australians here so I could start some very profitable private business. ;)

Depends on what you mean and where you live. People buy stuff they know is worthless to show their support for the current President of the USA, e. g. the Trump phone.
