    As an assigned owner, you can access the Edit Story page but the link doesn't show up on the MyStories list.

    I think the easiest way to get to that site is through the story map:
    Go to the story map of the story.
    Replace the "map" in the address bar with "edit" and hit enter.

    The story owner has deleted their account.
    Right now, there is no editor.
    The last added chapter was approved by a moderator. (But there is still a pending chapter.)

    So it is an orphaned story. I wonder how many stories are like that? Existing after most or all people in editorial roles having left it.

    Well, most stories don't have editors. So when the owner leaves, they're already abandoned.
    There are certainly a lot of stories without active owners/editors, some of them with pending chapters.

    I added you as an owner :)

    I added you to Truth of the Matter as the owner.

    Rubicon has been active in the past 6 months. But since you have chapters in Ovyah Discovered, I added you there as an editor.

    Once you add chapters to the other two stories, I can add you there too.

    Happy writing! :)

    I added you as an owner :)

    Good they are okay. I guess RL caught up to them, like it does for all of us from time to time.

    Hi could I adopt https://chyoa.com/story/Jana-Wolfsbane.24636/map as I tried to post there and it has no author listed
    I added you as an owner :)

    Thank you, that's great, I wanted to add picture to start of story but it doesn't give me the option, do I need to be added as editor too or is it impossible?

    Added owners can access the Edit Story page only with the direct link.
    The easiest way is to go to the story map, replace the "map" in the address bar with "edit", and open the site.

    For the adopted story, the link would be:
    https://chyoa.com/story/Jana-Wolfsbane.24636/edit

    I think Friedman hasn't had time to take a look at it yet.

    Right now, the user ilp999 is an editor of the story. But that doesn't mean that there couldn't be two editors.
