That's a shame, I was really looking forward to the RPG one. Ah well, maybe we'll still get lucky!

Same!

Just need one more article to get myself re-rated. Bored waiting, lol

I was going to try for the RPG one too. Maybe they need a certain number of people to apply to get the go-ahead for it? I'll probably create a character over the weekend and submit it anyway, and if it doesn't get used I'll slot him/her into a story somewhere.

Big thanks to the OP this is the first website of its ilk that I've actually used and made any money out of.

I got rated at a 4, who said reading English Literature was completely useless, and submitted by first five articles. Now its time to play the waiting game until they get rated by TB.

Very satisfying whipping up articles about subjects you know very little about and having them accepted!

I signed up to this on Wednesday, got rated as 4 and did my first two articles yesterday morning. How long does it usually to hear whether your article has been accepted or not? I've been impatiently checking all day but nothing yet!

Depends on how fast the client is, I think. My first one went in on Monday and was accepted on Tuesday. I've done 3 more today, one of which is still showing as unrated by Textbroker, so I guess the other 2 have been forwarded to the client.

It really varies - some I have had accepted within the hour, whereas others I have had to wait the full 3 days for! They do have to respond within 3 days though, and you can still write other articles whilst you are waiting!

Thanks everyone! I shall try and be more patient. Where/how do I see if textbroker have rated the articles yet?

Writergirl

Ignore that question, I've just found the relevant page!

You will see the letters TB in the middle ratings column, and the rating they have given you will show as a number in the first ratings column. (It can take quite a while for them to rate you, and once you have completed your first 5 articles they will freeze your account until they have rated those 5, before you can continue)

This 5 article hold is really bugging me. I wrote about hyperpigmentation damnit! I'm obviously a committed writer

How long have people waited for TB ratings? Also after the 5-article hold are there any limits on how many articles you can have waiting to be rated?
