   Too much fun, not enough sleep!!
This panda was very glompable!


Hey everyone! I am home and I've got a bunch of stuff to tell you guys about. We had an amazing time. I've got well over 1000 pictures to sort through, plenty to write about and lots of funny stuff to share. I did get a chance to meet up with a few myO members which was great. I am completely worn out and have so much to do.

Speaking of so much to do...submissions. The first thing I noticed when I got back online to check the site was Adam's update about 800 submissions that needed approval. My initial reaction was:


...

When I started to read the comments I noticed Lindus took care of the fan art. Thank goodness! If there really was a backlog of 800+ items I would cry. ;_; No worries, all the submissions have been dealt with now. I got all the submissions I am responsible for caught up. Now I just need to get started on my writing!

Speaking of which I better get started! I will get to guest book signings, PM's, emails and such after I get done with my artilcles. Laters all!


Comments on Comments: Submission Comments


Here are my 2 cents on the comments left by members on the submission situation. I am on top of the submissions on a daily basis. Usually 4 to 5 times daily which is much faster approval rate than in the past. Way back when I was a new member and needed to wait for my approvals sometimes it would take a couple of days before I would see it on the site. Now the longest someone has to wait is 10 hours...and the only reason for that is I need some time to sleep. I basically live on the site.

On the rare occasion I am away from the site (anime convention, family functions, internet issues...) Adam takes care of the submissions. This has always worked well in the past. That is until this last weekend. Adam is so busy with updates on the site that it's not surprising that the submissions were put on the back burner. After all, the submissions is not something he has to worry about on a daily basis. I am very happy he asked one of the moderators for help out this weekend. I really must give props to Lindus for picking up the slack. Now I have someone who understands the joys of dealing with a backlog of submissions. Dealing with submissions is a very time consuming job which is why I work on them several times a day so they don't pile up.

This was only a little glitch in the system, not the end of the world.
