It''d maybe be a good idea to have a few people checking fanfics.
I'm not gonna bother with sending fanfics if they arn't gonna get read and neither is anyone else. Writers need approval to know they're work is good.
Gold Kitty could be tomorrows Jaquline Wilson or Meg Cabot and no-one'll ever know and her talent will never be discovered all because nobody read her fanfic!

Writing is about confidence, if you have none, you'll get fed up and feel that it is going nowhere. If you feel you're work is rubbish, then you arn't gonna want to bother writing are you? Every time you reach for a pen you read your work and it mocks you with a nasty snarl and you run out of pages, and your mind is quicker then your hand.
Oh God, this is from 2007, God am I opinianated!

Do you know how many fics there are that are submitted
compared to fanfic mods? There's a good size ratio. And
there's only one fanfic mod that is on a couple times a day,
and she has other moding duties, along with fanfics. But you
never PM a fanfic mod asking how long until a fanfic is
checked. They will upload it when they get around to it.
They don't live here and have lives, too, ya know. ;D

Okay, Goldie. It takes a little while for the manager to
reply, Because he\she is the manager so thier busy, Right?
So, Now, About the fanfic, Again, It usally takes a while ,
Because he\she their really busy. Hope that helped.

well golden maby a mod hasn't got to read it yet. my friend
that a mod is a real person and so they have to be on to
check it. As for the webmaster hes probably got a lot of
emails so yours could be at the bottom. I hope this helps

That is a very bad idea. You should NEVER PM the master
concerning fanfics. The mods will get to it sooner or
later. They can't get on to read fanfics every day of their
lives. Plus, it takes time and plenty of patients because
if you have written a long fanfic, it takes longer to read.
It is rude to PM people, ESPECIALLY the master, hurrying
them to read a story. They have lives, too.

it takes ages, imagine al the people who have sent stuff in
and need it checked It will take ages for the mods to get
it seen to, i writ a couple of my fanfics a mont h ago and
they havent been checked
