So, I joined a while ago and posted some of my stories, then when I came back on today, all the novel forums were locked and I can't post anything! Where am I supposed to post my stories? Please help :?: :?:

P.S. I wasn't sure where to post this, so if it's in the wrong place I'm sorry

Hi there, Malefica. Since you've been away, you probably weren't here for the updates that Nate made to the Novels, Short Story, and Poetry area. You can read through some of the details about the changes here. Your works aren't gone by any means, the forums just got an update and, well, he's working on the bugs. Rome wasn't built in a day after all.

But to submit a story now, there should be a space up at the very very top and close to the middle that says "Add New Work." And from here, you can go ahead and post new works. :D

Also, you were pretty close with where to post this. There is a Question and Answer sub-forum available if you have anymore questions. Also, feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions and I'm usually likely to get back to you in less than a day.

Best of luck!

Edit: Also, to view posts and review other pieces, you can just click on the "Browse" tab just under the logo. Also, while in the Browse area, you should be able to click on a link near the upper right hand area of the screen that says "View Mine" and that should bring up only your works.
Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

The "Browse" tab up top is also where you can find all your old stories, with editing capabilities in place. None of your data has been lost! It's just been moved. And since the old literary forums are, well, old (everything should be done on the Browse tab), there's no reason to keep the forums open. :)
