Yes. And Thanks Everyone! There is a sequel to this one in another anthology. And I do plan to continue that, of course.

I have reported the bug.

I'd check those links. It's entirely possible that they reacted to different chapters. The ones together being the same chapter and the second one a different chapter.

This seems to be a story bug. I've let the programmer know.

If I ever end up in that situation, something on the site breaks. Lol

Hmm. This looks like it might be the best Star Wars game to come along since Star Wars the Forced Unleashed. I find the character kind of adorable too. Of course, the actor that voices him and motion captures... is Cameron Monaghan. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1185747/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1 Now, EA keeps screwing up game after game. So I'm seriously concerned... but my fingers are crossed.

I own the games... but I haven't gotten around to playing them yet. (a very very common theme in my life)

Have you seen any more issues with this, this week?

I've tweaked a setting. Let's see if that works...

The background processing seems to be a bit slow. I'm checking into it.

We have changed the way the editor behaves due to the difficulty in maintaining the code for it. It used to work that when you hit "return" it would go to a new line. Now when you hit "return" it goes to a new paragraph. Example: This is a new line from Example This is a new paragraph. If you would like a new line, instead of new paragraph, hit shift-return. This was part of what caused the double space error you see in some stories. Now, some posts will seem oddly spaced. It should fix itself going forward as people get used to the format.

Try now. You should be able to edit, and repaste your chapter.

@Bleu, it looks like the upgrade 'canceled' Author group purchases instead of renewed them. (At one time, renewal was ever x years) I've fixed your account. For anyone else that bumps into that, yes, just go to Store and get it again.

Updated!

Will. What you said does not make any sense and it is posted in the wrong location. It is only by accident that I noticed it here. My best guess is that you have seen the "Profile Completion" prompt which requires you to enter your age and asks you to optionally fill out other fields. Just click Dismiss after you've filled you your age and ignore those fields.

Today, we are upgrading the site to the latest version of the forum software. While there are not going to be a lot of visible changes, there was a ton of things changed under the hood that is geared towards making the site faster loading and to operate better on mobile devices. It is going to take a few days to sort through the various settings and getting things operating properly. I'm going to post here several times as we go through this process. Some changes that have occurred prior to the upgrade: Today's birthday's widget has been removed. Due to the ongoing privacy issues and trying to comply with various rules and regulations on the topic, as well as to make it simpler to maintain the code on the site, we have removed the "Today's Birthday" widget. When you are on the main forum page, this will no longer be displayed. We have removed the require for you to enter your birthday. Also to make it easier to comply with privacy rules, we've removed the birthday requirement. However, so we can still comply with laws regarding minors, you are required to enter your current Age. Teenagers MUST have their exact age. We have added a bunch of fields to the profile for links to various social media sites. Feel free to drop a link to your content. More will be coming today. Well, we now support Giphy, the animated Gif place. Often times, we can't express our feelings in text and this is one way to do it. The "GIF" box in the editor will pull up a search box for you to select from. Most of the front end stuff has been minor tweaks with the vast majority of changes geared to makes things fast and snappy. An important change: We can now control the devices widgets show on. In order to speed up mobile devices, a lot of the widgets will be turned off on mobile, thus requiring less to load. Please report any bugs you encounter here or in the help forum and we ask for patience if you experience any.

Mary/Gary Stu has been around in FanFiction forever. It pretty much referred to the author's habit of inserting themselves into pre-existing stories and then showing how awesome they are against established characters. Example, Myr and Comicality Go to Hogwarts and show Harry Potter and Ron Weasley how you get stuff done! And out snark Snape, out manipulate Dumbledore and beat old Moldyshorts with one hand tied behind our backs. Gary Stu rocks! And the Force Awakens pretty much defines this original definition. It is an official story, but it was written a generation+ after the original. And without getting too political about it, the movie was designed to highlight the current Hollyweird's obsession with SJW BS. Get Woke, go Broke. The reason why Force Awakens got as much flack as it did was that they pissed all over their largest fan demographic. "Mary Sue" was just the label that got stuck on it to make it more PC. *shrugs* It wasn't a bad movie. But I liked Episode 1 better even with whiny little Anakin. I enjoy a good overpowered character running roughshod over things from time to time. Great article @Comicality!

The search is built in and there's really not much we can do about it. The Story Search works as well as it does because it is search titles only. @Timothy M. One option for the Writing prompts is to change the sort function to "Title" It should let you find the prompts faster.

I typed prompt 597 in the search box on the red menu. It found your topic asking where it was and the topic you were looking for? I also think age of a topic has an effect on search. This isn't Google where there is infinite resources devoted to finding everything, everywhere.

3d printing is fun I have my own now. Prusa Mk3S shipped straight from the Czech Republic. other than an initial hiccup, it's run like a champ.

There are no issues that I'm aware of.

I know that Fictionpress is set up to handle many languages. https://www.fictionpress.com/
