@CiaThe Weekly Wrap Up missed my Halloween stories again.  That means your new story count for October is probably five shorter than it should be.  I'm not sure if you're concerned about that, but I just wanted to let you know.

See, and if you're post-dating and/or editing them and the system isn't dating them correctly, we don't overtly see that. We'd need to know what stories, when you posted them, how they posted, etc... I couldn't figure out exactly which ones you meant last week. Myr's mentioned before that there is a post-dating glitch.

The stories were as follows: Seeking Justice (Oct. 11), Unwanted Perks (Oct. 13), Echoes From the Past (Oct. 15), Strange Things Are Happening (Oct. 17), and Unscheduled Recess (Oct. 19).  The first three I went in and published manually in the morning when they didn't appear, even though I'd post-dated them, and the last two I edited and added a time to the post-dating and they posted on their own.   I just thought you'd want to make sure they were counted in the monthly totals.

The story counts will get correctly allocated when the system is patched. 

This is a snip for your Seeking Justice:

This is why we constantly warn people DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING while it is in the system and not yet published.  You accidently published Chapter 1 on 9/28/2021, but it doesn't show in the system because the Story Published on 10/11/2021.  The system promptly placed the story based on the publish date of chapter 1.  It therefore would not be caught for the Blog Posting.

I'm assuming the visit from Valkyrie on Tuesday was this blog entry introducing the Anthology Proof Team:
