Gosh, it's been busy around here lately. We have done a number of updates in the background and some front facing. First up, if you didn't click on the announcement banner, Gay Authors has switched from our own dedicated server to our own cloud dedicated server. From a technical standpoint, that means we abstracted one layer giving us future flexibility and ease of upgrades. This also got us off a server we could no longer upgrade who's Operating System was going unsupported in June. As an added bonus, we are on a more powerful (faster) set up, and the price is going down a bit. This lowers are operating costs for a bit, where they were raising rapidly previously. We have also deployed a ton of bug fixes and minor feature tweaks to our Story Archive. I have not posted about them all as most of them were in the background. We even discovered that one of the more annoying bugs wasn't actually one of ours... we've reported it to Invision so they can fix it. Some of the changes to Stories in the last couple of weeks: ALL: Mobile size screen had Story buttons reversed. This is now working properly. Authors/Staff: Unpublished stories/chapters have consistent info bars on top of page ALL: Various button location tweaks/spacing clean up ALL: Story of the Moment widget working properly. STAFF: can now use filters (genres, tags, status) Authors: Saving Chapter to the system unpublished now works properly ALL: Recommend Story button now shows on all chapters ALL: Reading History Widget now properly dismisses Authors: Series with multiple authors permission system improved and moderator functions work Authors: Chapters can no longer publish while story is unpublished. Authors: Pagination now works properly with Series, allowing to move stories across pages All: Setting author discussion area wastes a lot less pace. Staff/Authors: Moderation controls have been tweaked. When situation calls for it, any story or author can now be easily put into the moderation queue. ALL: Text editors are now separated from descriptions and comment sections for story comments, chapter comments, reviews, etc. Authors: The system now enforces the rules on posting images in the story description. The story description is for text only and that's it. All: Story Table of Contents page has been updated to put the book cover next to the descriptive text, if it exists. This should correct for the issue where people want to shave an image into the description text without breaking the rest of the archive. ALL: Book Cover (image shown with story description), Story Cover (Image at top of header), Story Banners (images that show in the story listing), have all been defined and clarified. Banners will be usable by promoted authors. example of how Banner shows for promoted author groups All: Posting Time check now more robust. ALL: Genre filters now more robust. 3 options when selecting multiple genres "Any, ALL, Only". Working significantly better, but it still has some minor quirks. Authors: Some date/time items corrected with more communication. Also discovered and reported a Invision Community Bug related to date checks. (That is, the bug is a forum bug, not a Stories bug) These updates fix all of the known issues that we can control. There are a bunch more updates already written up that will be coming this year

It was waiting for Mark as Solution.

There is. What makes you think there isn't? I literally said it in the post... It certainly could, however, Family Saga as defined fits best in Literary Fiction. And the system only allows one primary genre for a sub-genre. Primary genres are broad while the sub-genre narrows down. As the system allows you to search specifically for Sub-genres, like Family Saga, it's a moot argument. If you feel your story is a Family Saga, tag it as such. How that rolls up in the system shouldn't bother you that much. System doesn't work that way. One primary genre for a sub-genre. The sub-genre descriptions should help you choose which ones apply to your story. This statement doesn't really make sense to me. You appear to be mixing a few things together. See statement below: This statement goes together and you appear to be trying to separate it. Please don't. If you add too many sub-genres, the system will let you know AND if you are actually adding so many that it does let you know, then you probably lack focus with your story's genres. Some people go wild and will tag Paranormal on a romance because a character thought they saw a UFO, even though it had no relevance to the plot and was just a throw away statement. Adding Family saga to your story doesn't fit that statement unless you have so many genres on it already that the system won't let you add more. It should also be noted that this is a public post and technical answers are written for people looking for answers to the same question in the future.

It involves more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of their life, including intimate details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality.

This worked out better and finger count looks correct...

the song is better than the game...

It makes the most sense, insomuch as our Moon is unusually large for our planet to capture naturally. And the early solar system was presumed to be quite the pinball arcade.

Disney has issues, so it is highly unlikely a movie starring them is going to be anything other than a lecture about how evil Deadpool and Wolverine are and how Mary Sue can do it better and faster with no reason whatsoever than she's a woman. This is, of course, basing it on the crapshow string of movies since the sidelined the Marvel Creative Committee and focused on The Message™️instead of good stories. (starting with that pointless Captain Marvel Sue stand alone movie, where they totally gimped the BAMF Nick Fury. Should have been a Black Widow movie since she was a character we already enjoyed with an earned history of being a bad ass.) We are likely to keep getting crap from Disney until Bob Iger is terminated. Of course even South Park has called Disney out on this. Probably a bit over the top, as South Park tends to push it to the extreme, but you can't unsee the pattern once you know about it. See Star Wars. See Marvel since Captain Marvel Sue. While I obviously like seeing Gay characters, FanFiction belongs in FanFiction and canon should be left alone. Be creative and create new well-rounded characters.

I've added a note to include "Views" in the FAQ.

Please, in the future, separate questions instead of a mass of things clumped together. It makes it far easier to understand and faster to answer. You can find your story's reading stats by clicking the stats button on your story. Or going to the "My" menu and select "My Statistics" in stories. This displays each story by "views". Clicking on the story will give you the story's chapter breakdown. It also shows you number of comments per chapter. Views on a story are Views of the Story + Views of all Chapters. If the story has more chapters, probably has more views. If it has less chapter views and less chapters, but still high story views, that means lots of people click the story, read the description, but don't read the story. (enough of a blurb to get someone to click, but not enough to close the sale and get them to read) Because more people clicked on that chapter. whether they liked it and reread it a few times or it was a slow posting day and it had more exposure in the activity stream, so more people clicked, we have no idea. I can't figure the purpose or meaning of this sentence without assuming this is your first day on the Internet. So, under that assumption, the people making comments are members on the site who's name appears with the comment. As to why they comment, presumably they are commenting about something they just read. Pretty standard thing on the internet. Yeah, no kidding? Members commenting on stories and chapters and reading more than one story... I'm surprised this surprises you. Insomuch as you are getting engagement, yes, that's meaningful. It means 40 different members enjoyed whatever you wrote enough to engage you about it. Hopefully, you have engaged back by reacting or replying to said comments. If not, you'll likely be considered rude and lose interactions. And if people feel insulted enough, lose readership.

A bug was found in the Story of the Moment feature and been corrected. You should see a larger selection of stories now.

Drop a PM to @Cia, and discuss with her. We'll have to confirm some things.
