Ok, I've decided to give a timeline of my 1st set, for all the future girls out there. I had absolutely no idea when things were supposed to happen, so hopefully this helps others.
My photographer / boyfriend and I planned out the set for quite a while. When we had all the details worked out, we took a test shoot to get the camera settings and lighting right. Then when we finally set out to do the final shoot, the weather turned nasty. Since we were depending on sunlight for some of the effects, the sudden thunderstom kinda put a "damper" on things.
Lots more time went by until we were finally able to finish shooting. Then even more time passed while we perfected the order of the shots, eliminating the ones that weren't up to snuff, and so on. I was finally ready to upload on July 14. I learned that during the upload process, DO NOT mess with the order of the pictures. Rigel was kind enough to let me know my set hadn't uploaded correctly. It was just over 24 hours after my upload that I heard from her. I exchanged a few emails with Rigel with my questions and she was very helpful. I re-uploaded my set, and then waited.
My set was "pending review" for 4 days. Then on Friday July 18, I got an email saying my set had been accepted for Member Review! Of course, I had been checking the site obsessively, which didn't help my anxiety at all. My set then said it would go live on August 29 at 3:29pm. This morning, my set says it will go live August 21 at 11:29 pm. So while it's still over a month away, at least it was moved up.
Of course I'll be updating this blog as things progress. And maybe eventually I'll write more interesting things. I don't even know if anyone will read this. (Let me know if you do!)
