New Fictions Section

[CrisNoWait]

I just added the permission to disable guest viewing that section.
I dunno what you mean by skip to the next post?
There's a "find all fiction by (username)" if someone clicks on your username.
It's possible to have number of views, but that's not logical for it here because it belongs in a forum which totals up the number of the entire forum, not just for that fiction. The new fiction, random fiction section of the home page features that because it's for individual fictions.



I'm not sure if it's logical to merge those forums over... any opinions?
Plan to release later tonight or tomorrow.

How do we add the additonal chapters to the fiction? I noticed when posting a new fiction it say maximum pages 5? My stories are longer than 5 pages..

and what does this mean..

The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 60 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message

.

Edit:
The word limit per page is 20,000 can that be raised. I see you edited the first page, so multiple pages will be possible.

What about the ability to delete the fiction? Is that possible?

Changed to 50 pages and removed time limit

@Dai: can I do a test in the fiction corner, i.e. creating and submitting... and delete it after I played around?

[Dai-kun]

Yes, since I will delete everything in there once everything is finalized, then port everything from the fiction corner over.

Ok... thanks... I'll play with it a bit (and will see if I can help Cris)

Thanks Dai my fic over 200,000 words!! ( just that one) Oh well I'll wait to see all the updates It be great if we can have the same word limit as the current forum *50,000* I think that would help other (long winded writers too).

With the *edit block off* I can add addtional pages, I get that now. Thanks for that too.

There are some small issues with display in some sections... I am taking screen cap and will edit/post them here...

EDIT:
(1) main problems are image displays... they do not appear... perhaps the function is not complete yet... Just in case, here are the screen cap
(2) in dark theme, the "attachment manager" to add attachment while creating/editing a fiction has the text in black (there are different places like that... it is just a bit difficult to read, but I guess it comes from the layout...)
(3) In the choose category, more meaningfully text will have to be displayed (I know it is just test )
I understand it is "category" as much as "status"... shall they be 2 different information, as in 1 dropdown list for category (i.e. fanfic"original and 17.9 or 18+) and another for status (WIP or completed)?

(4) I got a "How To: manage your story" in picture fr Cris and whoever wants it... Did I miss some functions?

what about pairing in fandoms? or will we just browse with tags? I'm wondering if the fics will have summary we can view before we click to read the story? (like in fanfction.net)
Overall, I'm so happy with the new system!!! Should be so much easier to browse now... looking forward to the "pages" XD

Put your mouse over the thread title to view the first few lines of it.

Question:
(1) is it normal that when clicking on the forum banner when in the fiction section this bring to the fiction section Home page?
(2) about the "printable" version in the "Fiction tools": it does not display the text in the first post (just an empty box). I can see only the replies...

You fixed the images? Or my computer was going crazy?
