We try to publish submissions as soon as possible, however, we cannot guarantee when (or if) any story will be published.
Each story is given a unique timestamp when it is received and we try to publish stories on a first-come basis to help ensure fairness. This means it can take between two and four editions for a story to be published from when it is received.
If your submission has a particular theme (such as a winter, a summer, Christmas, etc.,) we may decide to hold it for a related edition, rather than publish it in the regularly received order.
