It's been 15 hours since I sent Hunger Moon in to Teaspoon and still it's not up.  In that time they've updated all of four stories.  Anyone want to place bets that by the time they update it'll be buried in an avalance on pages 2 through 5?  So annoying.  Obviously they can't keep up with their rules.  Even when they do put stuff through it's obvious by the typos (even in the summaries sometimes) that they aren't actually reading them first.  Which was the whole big reason why they went to moderated status, all the spelling and grammar issues that had been cropping up.  If they're not going to read them for that, then what's the point of modding?

They'll probably update right after I post this, too.  *whine whine*

Also, DH won't be home until Thursday.  On the bright side, that means a full week of extra pay.

I'm still sick.

And I'm cranky.

Edited to add:  Ha!  I was right.  The minute I post this, there it comes up on Teaspoon!

Edited again to add:  And 15 minutes later it's on page 3.  Can I call them or what?

Oh, I doubt anything will ever change. I just have issues with their selective reinforcement of their rules. It's been three weeks since I've posted an update of Hunger Moon and I hate that it got buried immediately. Same thing happened last time. In fact, I'm almost never on the front page for more than five minutes at a time anymore. More paranoid minds than mine would say they are burying me deliberately. Okay, I've thought it. I've noticed it with other long-time popular authors as well. And seems like the same five or six newbie authors are on the front page all the time. Which I don't begrudge, because a couple of them are really good and need the exposure, but it's starting to look like a pattern. It's starting to feel personal.

I'm just glad I have LJ, even if their rich text editor is buggy. Otherwise I'd be tempted to give up.
