[ANSTHRLD] Is this normal? Is there a tracer system?

>>Is there a tracer system?

Mari pointed out the Heraldic Submission Tracker.  I should note that
it only tracks things once they hit kingdom.  Unfortunately, delays
nowadays are almost always at local level.

Off the top of my head, here's the plan that occurs to me.  If you
haven't prodded the local herald in the past month or so, I'd try
prodding one last time, ask for it to be sent within the next week or
so, and ask for notification when they send it to Asterisk.  If that
gets nowhere in a couple of weeks, I'd e-mail Asterisk, CCing the
local herald and regional, giving the details (like dates and info on
the cancelled check) and ask Asterisk how you can make the submission
go thru.

Asterisk might tell you to send the submission direct to her.  As Mari
notes, submitters should keep copies of their submissions.  Maybe you
can get the local to hand back the forms they received and save the
submitter the trouble of redoing them.

I'm sure it's frustrating and I wish I could apply heraldic Drano.
