    I can check the backups. However, we consider a story to be the property of the creator.

    Adding to that... a chapter created by another author is considered the author's property.
    So while a story owner can delete their story and chapters, the other authors can still get their content back if possible.

    Hi. I had written a few chapters in DoctorD's "To feel power". He has since deleted it. Would it be possible to get a copy of my chapters please?

    Do you know the IDs of your chapters (that would be the quickest way)? Or do you know when the story was deleted?

    I've no idea. Just noticed it had gone. It sounds like a hassle - don't worry about it. I'll re-write them if I find another home for them.

    I've noticed that sometimes people in this thread are assigned editor rights, and other times owner rights. Out of curiosity, what drives the choice for one or the other?

    Ideally, an owner has already written chapters in the requested story, i.e. is invested to a certain extent.

    I posted a chapter on the story "Lisa's Punishment" a while ago, but it still isn't approved yet. I have been told by others that the author is generally unresponsive and that I should get an admin to approve my submission.

    I've added you to most stories except stories from active users (hematoma, Feaver Dreamer, majus).

    I approved your chapter.

    Happy writing! :)

    Hi Guys,
    if possible I'd like to at least maintain this awesome story-game by Cphi: https://chyoa.com/story/Staying-Faithful.23944

    He hasn't been present for the last 9 months, and the story hasn't been updated for I think more than 2 years. I hate to see it abandoned :)

    My plan is to check the structure of the story (variables, etc..), fix what have to be fixed, add flavour text where it's reasonable, manage possible contributions, maybe add a chapter or two myself (i'm not that good unfortunately :)), and to keep a log of all the little changes I'll do.

    To do that I'm not sure but I'll probably need owner's rights (there can be two owners?). Without any obligation of course, bye ;)
