[SUBMITTED] Not a Good Sign

[Candlewhisper Archive]

It's looking solid, in my opinion. Good drafting process.

RE: Description. The streets are named (well, they are named if you use the Western system. If you use the Japanese system, if I'm not mistsking (and I could be), they're probably not named. But whether or not streets are named is a different issue in and of itself), Where was I? Oh yes: RE: Description, whether or not streets are named is irrelevant. The issue is a lack of adequate signage

Never been to Japan, but I saw something on TV where people were walking around Tokyo, and the streets appeared to be named, with signs at intersections to tell you which street you were on.

Chinese streets are also named and marked, usually with both characters and pinyin.

Naming streets is not an East vs. West thing.

More complicated than than that:

Mind you, this is just Japan, not the rest of Asia, and Kyoto and a couple other places are exempt from that system

Okay. Thanks so much — that's such a reassuring to hear from an editor! I'll leave it a couple days as per protocol, etc, and submit soon!

Another cause of lack signage could be burnt signs. I am holidaying at my beach house in the South Coast of NSW, one of the worst hit areas of the bush fires where entire signs have melted off, making navigation more difficult. If I can, I'll try to take a photo of one and show you

Err, how exactly do you burn street signs without also burning the houses on the street?

I'm not sure I understand. I don't mention burning street signs in my issue… are you talking to someone else…?

Edit: Whoops, I didn't see Australian rePublic's post above this one. I get it now.

I think the firefighters were more concerned with saving properties than signs. Also, like this:

Yeah, that could be a cause, although I think that'd be best saved for another issue.

Yikes, that's crazy!

Fair enough, carry on

You mean the singer? I have thought about that — originally it was his driver who couldn't find the venue. I ended up cutting that for shortness. Do you think it needs the clarification?

This is looking quite good now. Scenario makes sense, options are good and varied. Looks about ready to submit, imo.

Yes, I meant to say that the singer wasn't driving himself. I'm the bloody king of typos. You should add it back in. Besides, it's not like a single word's gonna change much

Yay! Great to hear!

Okay, I put it back in. Thanks. Think this is better?

Hmmm. I appreciate it, but I don't think this edit is necessary. I think saying "street signs" is clear enough. Thanks though!

All right, I've submitted the issue. Thanks to everyone who helped me out! Two questions —
• Will I be notified if my issue is rejected? (I know I'll be told if it's accepted; just curious about the reverse.)
• How long does this process usually take? Will I be waiting a day, or a week, or a month…?

Again, thanks so much for all the help you gave.

Good luck! From what I've read:
-You won't be notified about a rejection.
-It can vary a bit, but don't expect your issue to be added instantly - certainly not a day - as there is a pool of accepted issues that go through an editing process before they're published.

Good luck!
