    "Submit this chapter for approval"

    Apologies if this has been covered somewhere -- I tried searching for an answer, but couldn't find one. I'm returning to some writing and editing after a while, and with the new UI (which I love!), I now see at the top of my chapter drafts, a box that says "Submit this chapter for approval...

    what do you use to backup your work?

    I've always wanted to keep backup copies of everything I've done here. Google Docs is fine, but not easy to organize in terms of threads and stuff. I tried Twine, which seemed like a great app for creating a CYOA structure ... except then Twine somehow managed to obliterate my latest efforts...

    story-wide search (and replace) function?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to search an entire story for a given word? The real question/situation -- I want to change the name of one of my characters. I know she appears in like a hundred chapters, but I don't necessarily remember exactly which hundred. I would love to be able to log...

    Curious about category boundaries

    In terms of the guidelines on this site (and particularly with regard to changes in categories and stories that have gone hidden) ... A mmf story about a father/son/unrelated-woman in which the two men don't interact with each other ... does that constitute *nc*st? Something along the lines of...

    linking the main site with the forums?

    Maybe this has been discussed in a thread somewhere, but a quick search didn't help me. My question is: Are the main site and the forums linked? I have to log in separately to each. And if I encounter someone in a thread and I want to see their writing, I can't easily click their name to find...

    too many ... threads ............ can't ... stay focused ..........

    Just feeling rambly, and writing this maybe more for my own accountability than anything else. But lately, I've been starting to write the beginnings (and middles) of a lot of threads and subplots ... but then I jump around and leave them in the middle to start a new one or edit an old one or...

    Tags + Relevance

    Preface: I did a little searching for old threads on this topic, and didn't find what I was looking for ... though maybe that's kind of meta, since my issue is about how the search functions on the site work. When searching for content, I understand most of it, but I don't know how "relevance"...

    loose end finder?

    I know that the low-tech answer is "use your eyes and your brain and just look through the story map" ... but I was wondering if there was a feature anywhere about finding loose ends. What I mean is -- chapters that don't have any follow-up chapters or links. Chapters that either should be "the...

    Story #20,000

    According to my front page here, there are recently over 20,000 stories on this site. Is there any way to know who authored lucky story #20,000? Not that it's necessarily anything special ... I was just curious.

    Tags ... how do they work?

    Maybe a dumb question, but ... is there a difference between putting tags on individual chapters of a story or just putting them all on the introduction? Does it matter?

    thanks for story of the week!

    Just posting to say thank you to whomever is responsible for choosing "Always, Abbie" as story of the week! I'm gonna have to stay busy here to keep some regular content flowing in. Much appreciated!

    do you write all your chapters?

    I'm a relatively new writer here, and I'm curious -- do you write all your chapters, or do you allow other authors to contribute material? So far, I've written everything for my stories. My first three got off to decent starts, but I faded on them. My latest is over 250+ chapters now, and...

    chapter release strategy

    Hi there -- long time reader, fairly new writer, first time forum-poster. I have an idea for a fairly long and intricate story. I've mapped out the chapters, where there are options, how to build the chapter links to tie different threads back together. I have a full outline, and I've begun...
