Oh Where, Oh Where... has it gone?

Lament!

The unanswerable question!

Oh where, oh where has my lost payment gone?🧐

Oh where, oh where can it be?πŸ€”

It's nearly three months

Since my Top Story 🀩

"Don't be Late"... no cash in sight!😳

*

Oh what, oh what should I do about it?πŸ€”

Oh what, oh what should I do?

I've tried emailing

Inquired on Discord

Failure is making me blue!😨

*
Isn't it ironic that "Don't be late" 🀭

Is as late, as late can be!πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

The payment is naught

The wait is so long

I can't find a remedy!πŸ₯Ί

*

A few weeks later, things were looking up πŸ’«

Top Story, "Peace, Peace... Anywhere?"

Was promptly rewarded

A sweet five dollars

In response to its title?

*

The tale veers downhill, it's happened again

Top Story, but no payment

My poem "Shadow"

Poor choice of title?

Sports a star... minus the cash! 🌟

*
Oh please, oh please Vocal come to my aid

Restore my faith in you soon

I've been so patient

Dreamt up excuses

But my frustration's mounting.😳

*

July was the first time a Top Story payment failed to appear. However, now it's happened again. Strangely, the issue isn't consistent, with the system working in between these two stories.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this problem? It would be a crying shame to see me cast out and living on the cold, hard streets due to this failure to pay out US$10 for two Top Stories! πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜…πŸ˜‰

Help!
