  1. I have never been a fan of apple products. Thus I don't have them and cannot troubleshoot the quirks they have. I can't say it is your device, but I can't duplicate it on my gadgets.
  2. dkstories has always been able to capture and articulate political situations in his story very well, including the motivational dynamics of politically engaged people. And then spin that into an interesting plot, of course.
  3. @Zombie I tweaked some settings in the member's group. please try again. (My issue occurred in Firefox on windows when I was doing a mass upload of CJames files, which were fairly sizable.)
  4. It looks like it is hitting a size cap, but not telling you. I've had that happened to me as well.
  5. Please see update blog:
  6. The Top Stories widget has been fixed with the latest update and it has returned to the front page to work together with the Top recommended stories.
  7. We have patched the site with the latest update. There are a handful of requested changes in this update. Story System Reputation First up, on the Authors listing, we can now sort by "Highest Story Reputation" Under an author's icon, you'll now see 2 numbers. The Green number is the Site Reputation Total. (The likes across the entire site). The number in the gray box is the Story Reputation. (This is the likes from just the stories/chapters/comments in the story system). You can now view the most popular author based on positive feedback on their story content. Story Types The next feature we've added is a new filter in the stories system to allow you to select stories of a specific size. Some special notes about "Story Type": This filter is only showing live data in the story system The titled story type is only a range of story word count as it exists at the moment you use the filter. We used the Wikipedia definition of story types while adding the last 3. Since this is live data, when an author posts new content with sufficient word count, then the story type will change. And to repeat... Story Type is number of words in the story at the moment you use the filter. Stories List for Fan Clubs There is now a way to list an authors stories in a Fan Club. This makes getting to the author's stories that much easier when you are hanging out in their Fan Club. The listing is the same as you'd see visiting the author in the Stories section. (I've gone through and added the stories list to all of the open fan clubs)
  8. Steve was startled out of the cuddling and light foreplay with his boyfriend by the ear-piercing squeal of the klaxon alarm. He bounced upright and out of bed before his brain caught up to his body’s response. “God damnit! We’ll have to continue this later.” “Promise?” “Hell yes!” “General Quarters! All hands to actions stations! General Quarters! All hands to action stations!” His boyfriend joined him out of bed and they both donned their uniforms. “If that
  9. Try again please.

    Chapter 1

    I am doing the world building work so that I can expand this story as well as the others in this shared world. I'm documenting my canon so that I don't contradict myself. It's a long process. Glad you enjoyed the story!
  11. It's mostly there so we can flag a story that's too much for Google to handle. Despite showing copious amounts of actual porn on their own website, they treat other sites with ridiculous scrutiny. Member Only is a quite handy way to block them from seeing content. A single mention of the female chest that starts with a "t" is enough for Google to melt their snowflakes. So, a story that leans into a more Nifty end of mature should use Mature - Member Only. I'll typically flag it that way manually when I get a Google Snowflake Melt Warning.
  12. Well, first, don't look at page count. That varies too wildly depending on how much dialog you use. Use word count instead. 3000 to 5000 words per chapter is generally good for novel. In Word, word count is displayed on the bottom left, right next to page count.
  13. I was able to work with the programmer to find a solution. In addition to the word count selection, we'll be able to Select Story Types, which will have predefined word count brackets. Such as 0-10,000 words for Short Story. This will be part of the next release of the software. It's in beta testing currently.
  14. The next version of stories will have public author reputation and an additional sorting option to sort by story reputation.
  15. We will not be adding a customizable range on the front end. We had that in the past and too many people complained but it's too complicated. It's already complicated enough. I will look into preset story length categories, but that is going to take development time. The developer is working on improvements to the Recommendations page. Putting in story filters is on the list.
  16. @Valkyrie try the Edit Author now...
  17. With the latest update to the Stories archive, you can now assign default discussion locations for both Author and Stories. This gives authors one more change for interacting with their readers. I have added FAQ entries for these two new options:
  18. To set a story discussion location, go to the story's Table of Contents page. Go to Manage Story. Select Add Discussion Topic. Type the title of the topic you wish to link and then select the topic. Click Save. Topic will appear below each chapter and above the comments section.
  19. Question: How do I set a Story Discussion Location? Short Answer: From the Story Management menu, choose Add discussion topic. Type title and select correct one when it pops up. View full question
  20. The Stories Archive now has the ability to set a default location for discussing stories. On the Author's Story listing page above the stories, there is now a link called "Author Discussion" Topic- This can be a link to a specific topic on the forums. Forum - This can be a link to a specific forum. The default for all Promoted Author groups is for the Promoted Author discussion forum. The default for the Author group is for the Story Discussion forum. Club - This can be a link to a club. This is used for Signature Authors that have a Fan Club. On the Author Story Listing Page, click "Change" For Forums and Clubs, you will get a drop down box where you can select the forum or club by name. For topics, you type the title of your topic in the box and then select the desired topic: Hit Save. Note: You can only have one. The link will appear on the Author listing page and for topics, should also default for story discussion link at end of chapters on your stories.
  21. Question: How do I set an Author Discussion Location? Short Answer: Change Discussion from Author profile where stories are listed. Select Change Discussion View full question
  22. I have updated the FAQ for the Stories Archive system to show how to use the Story Recommendations. If you have questions on how to recommend a story or change or remove that recommendation, these topics should help.
  23. If you wish to change or remove your recommendation on a story, you need to click on the story title to go to the story details page and press the Recommend button again. You will be prompted with your current recommendation and you can either remove or change it.
  24. Question: How do I change or remove a Story Recommendation in the system? Short Answer: Click on recommend story on the story you wish to adjust and it pulls back up the dialog. You can change or remove recommendations from here. View full question
