How long does a new issue usually take to get rejected?

[Socram Nas]

Because there is no notification, when can one safely assume their issue didn't make it?

There's been one issue that finally entered use somewhere around 10 years after it was submitted!

There's no set time, but submission to published/deleted is the fastest it's ever been.

The two outstandingly huge gaps we have are:

#535, submitted Nov 10, 2003, published Jun 17, 2016 (almost 13 year gap)
#430, submitted Jan 23, 2004, published Jun 11, 2015 (11.5 year gap)

You will NEVER get told when your issue is rejected. The only thing you know is that it hasn't been published yet. Whether or not will get published will not be made public until you actually get published. If it's rejected, you'll never know

You guys keep them in thw queue that long?

Not anymore... Of the player submitted issues the oldest I could find where some from 2015. Of the staff issues the oldest I could find was 2012.

Therefore, if your issue pre-dates 2015, there's a good chance it has been rejected. If not then you won't know until if and when it's published, (or you remember the date of submission, and an editor posts another one of these saying how far back the list goes)

Bear in mind that if an issue gets picked up then returned to the pool, it loses its original date stamp. Also, when editors retire, they often release back into the pool issues which are older, as not everyone works at the manic pace that you and I favour.

Also, of course, issues that get thrown on the trash heap aren't gone, they're just on the trash heap. They can be fished out and brushed off for some years afterwards, and I personally occasionally do the dumpster dive to see if anything can be pulled back to the pool. Of course, I don't do that often, because trash heaps are mostly full of trash...

That's not the case. The submission date should remain unchanged.

Not sure it does. In the staff folder in particular I've got a load of issues that are dated at the last time I saved a change in them, rather than when they went in the staff pool. This also happens with the general pool, but less often, as we don't often take issues out of the general pool and put them back.

Anyroads, let's discuss this backstage.
