Apologies if this is known, or something:
A friend and I are collaborating on
a story. He is the author; he's created an unpublished draft. I'm listed as an editor. His idea is that we should only publish when there's sufficient content, and I agree.
This draft displays properly for him, but not for me. For instance:
1. I can only see a chapter 2.1 that I made, and not the 3.1 he made. (problematic because I need to add 3.2.)
2. It doesn't appear on my "my stories" page even though I'm an editor. The only way I can even get to it is because it
does appear on my CHYOA homepage under "my recent stories."
3. The story map is completely blank; it doesn't have any chapters listed.
4. The "edit this story" option leads to a 404.
So, what do I want you to do about it? I'm just hoping he's done something wrong, or there is some known fix to misbehaving unpublished drafts. There are a few work- arounds, like us just sharing the text and posting all at once, together, once we decide to make the story public. I don't like that because we'd need some coordination at the time, and in the draft stage we couldn't really check each other's progress. I could just send him the text to publish all himself, but then I wouldn't get any credit, which I find personally gratifying.
Is there any help on this issue? Should we turn it off and on again? thanks in advance.
