With a few new people signing up and wondering how long the validation process takes, let me assure you now...It doesn't take very long.
On the main page of Gluttony, where the Site Info is, is generally where you'll find the queue status. When there are stories waiting in the queue, there will be a message that says "5 stories waiting to be validated."
If there is no info at all, then there is nothing in the queue.
The actual validation process then depends on how long it takes me or another validator to read over your story. This could be a few hours - a few days, depending on how busy our real lives are.
If you are aged 18 or over, and would like to become a validator, then just contact me so we may discuss the matter :) I'm due to have a baby in the next 5 weeks, so I'll be needing extra help.
