    Hi, I’ve read in a few places review of a new story usually takes less than 24 hours, but I’ve been waiting almost three days. The story is A Better World. Can a moderator or administrator take a look, or at least tell me if there’s a reason for the delay? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have just declined the story as it only describes the concept of the world but doesn't tell an actual story yet.
    Please write at least 250 words of an actual storyline. (It doesn't have to be in the introduction chapter.)

    I feel that the number of new stories is going up lately, so it might be difficult to keep up with them from time to time. Thus it might take a little longer in some cases.
    There is also a problem that we can't see yet which story was published first.

    Thanks for responding! Ok, good to know. I only saw the 250 word requirement, wasn’t aware it had to be 250 of actual story. I also didn’t realize you could write and submit multiple chapters at the same time. I’ll probably keep my introduction as is and add the first real story chapter. Thanks for your help!

    Actually, all existing chapters get published when the story gets published.

    This is a bit off-topic, but I do wonder...Does the increase in new stories coincide with an increase in traffic to the site as a whole?

    I’d assume so. I’m actually new to the site too, and my google searches when I was looking up erotic stories have been bringing up CHYOA more in recent weeks/months. Just resubmitted my story and I’m hoping I’ll get in on the action before a real boom in popularity starts haha.

    I've just finished an interstate move and haven't had much time to review stories myself, but I have also noticed a greater number of newer stories lately. It looks like activity on the site has grown fairly steadily over the past month (as normal), but I think any increases started more than a month ago.
