So, I've been wondering this all summer while playing the NT waiting game; is there a certain schedule that Droplet goes by when sending out acceptance and rejection letters each week to NT submissions? Is there a pattern, like on Monday she informs comic makers, Tuesday short stories, and so on? Or rather, if you submitted a short story or anything, and you haven't heard by a certain day, you shouldn't expect any letter until next week?
I've always imagined it was spontaneous before, but this sounds plausible, so I'm curious.

Typically acceptances for each area go out on the same day, but that day varies - however there are always exceptions. It is perfectly possible to submit something and have it held over and accepted within the week. Very occasionally within the same day.

I've had a short story held over and accepted within a day, but that's probably because it was more of a 'time-sensitive' piece of work as it dealt with the site's April Fools Prank (the extra pets from the pound, to be exact). On the other side, it took my first entry (and series) a couple of weeks before it got accepted.

I have had three or four hold overs followed within the hour by being accepted. None of them were time sensitive, though. I have also gotten hold overs notices on every day of the week now (aside from the weekend) but usually I get accepted on Monday, occasionally Tuesday, and once or twice Wednesday.

Thanks for the replies!  Is it possible for there to be replies on Thursdays, or is Wednesday usually the cut off day? |

There was once a comic that got accepted on the Friday it was submitted on, or so I heard. (It was this one, I believe) Most responses are sent out from Monday - Wednesday, but it's still possible to get one on Thursday or Friday too, as Kristykimmy said. The only days you definitely won't get replies are the weekends and holidays. |

Buizel has said that Droplet has accepted things of his on Friday a time or two for special editions when he was late getting them in. |
