How Long Submissions Take to be Approved

December 6, 2009
By Anonymous

It seems that when you submit something, it takes weeks, perhaps even months for it to be approved. Everything is always published on the website, is it not? Has anyone ever received a letter saying your article was not approved and will never will be? I don't think so. Why not just post everything up right away so we no longer have to wait and wait to see our work up online.

I agree with karstarr13. I mean, my work doesn't take too long to be put on the site, maybe 1-2 weeks, but I agree that entries should be carefully looked over to make sure they're not substandard.

it took me SO long for my stuff to get on here! it was so aggrivating. And.. i mean, they pretty much take everything, which makes this not competetive at all. I think they should pick and choose what they publish.... but, thats just me LOL

Then if you're in "Accelerated English" then shouldn't you not have trouble with your spelling? Really people, I'm sorry if I sound rude, but if you all are so great at English and spelling and what-not, shouldn't it be your responsibility to make sure your stories are written properly? Especially when Word document and Open Office Writer all have word check and will tell you if your sentences are not correct.

No one has an excuse and no one should blame Teen Ink for something that is their own responsibility not the websites. I think that was thisisme's point.

P.S And "purposely being sloppy"? Really? We can't even take the effort to write two sentences correctly? Come on people.

I so totally agree!!! I've been waiting forever. At first I was scared maybe it wasn't good enough to get published but I seriously doubt that.

I don't want to fight, I hate drama, but could you be a little bit nicer? Comments aren't as formal e.i, you didn't capitalize anything. See, we don't try as hard. ^.^

(Sorry, I know you were probably joking but it doesn't read that way first time you see it).
