I think it would be very useful to have some sort of draft system for stories and threads. I just found this site very recently and was interested in messing around with the story creator to learn how it works. I assumed I could create a sort of test story (my fault for assuming, I know) that I would be able to save to the site but keep completely private so nobody else could see it. Turns out the private/public toggle referred to contributions, not privacy level. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until after it auto-submitted for approval from a moderator. I deleted the few skeletons of threads I added to it, but there doesn't appear to be a way for me to delete the story entirely, removing it from my story manager and any mod's approval list.
This isn't really a help post, I think I did all I can on my end and left a message for any mods who might see it to delete it themselves on their end. Mostly, I'm surprised that this wasn't a feature already baked into the system. It seems like a basic feature to expect on my end, but I realize it must be much harder to implement, otherwise it would be there already. Again, I'm new to the site so I may just be missing something or am unaware of an easy workaround so any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.S. I did see the couple of posts early in this thread suggesting similar things, so I did see the suggestions other forum members made about just doing it all in Word first and transferring it over (which seems obvious, but probably the best option going forward) or leaving a note to the mods asking to hold off on approval until a later date (which seems awkward and probably would only make sense for established members with an existing relationship with the mods, not a newbie like me)
