Novels & Novellas (updated)

This topic is out-of-date. For more up to date information, see: viewtopic.php?t=72989

So in describing the newest feature of the Young Writers Society, I thought it'd be best to do so in a short clip that I've embedded below. This is a feature I'm really excited about by the way, and it will be extended to poetry anthologies as well at some point in the future.

Have fun!




UPDATE on May 8, 2010


View Novel on Topic
Added a button for readers to view the novel from any of the chapters.

How to create a novel
Added link on the Novels & Novellas section letting you know how to create novel. If you can, please take the time just to make sure it's comprehensible.

View Your Novels
Added link on the Novels & Novellas section to show your novels only.

View Friends' Novels
Added link on the Novels & Novellas section to show novels by your friends.

Fixed Novel Edit Bug
From now on, no one should have any trouble getting past step one.

Novels with no covers do not show up in the main results
If you have not selected a cover, then your novel will not show up in the main results. It will though show up in the "Your Novels" section (duh), and your friends will be able to find it by clicking "Your Friends' Novels".

Sorting
You can now sort by genre while on the main results.

Bye bye, Nate!

Thanks!

New chapters posted in Novel forums don't show up on the front page, at least as far as I can see. Is that always going to be the case?

I think you removed the video? I can't see it...

Of course not. I'm just incredibly busy at the moment.



Update

Everyone: Have the new video up.

Hmm, to me it says "The video you have requested is not available."

Try again. Just takes a while for Youtube to process new videos sometimes.

Yay, it worked! Thanks! It looks great.

Nate, wow. I'm getting the urge to post something just so I can play with this. =D

Amazing! >.> Now I need to write a novel so I can use this.

That is seriously awesome. I need to make one for my project NAOWZ. That is ridiculously cool and here I was thinking there was just a division happening between short stories and novels.

Thanks Nate

Oh. Em. Gee.



Would it be possible to use this to consolidate a short story anthology as well?

Seriously, this is too cool. *dies*

Seems to be working very well and nice tutorial.

Holy heck, that's impressive!

Hm, for some reason it won't let me get past step one. I click it and nothing happens.

Edit: Okay, so I can get past step one. But only if I don't have anything in the "plot" section of step one.
