I think we need real talk for a minute about mlp fim. I've been super disappointed in the crystal ponies. Also straight up where are my sparkle ponies. Like the ponies that are basically crystal ponies full of glitter. As a child of the 80s I have certain expectations around my crystal ponies and the current gen has let me down storywise and with merch.
So this is my life.
School doesn't start until the 20th, yet I have to show up to work. Not even any other faculty here yet.
So, I figured I'd write some horsewords.
Unfortunately, I spent all day actually working, and now I just feel unproductive.
Those of you who have bad enough judgment to associate with me on discord will probably recall many picture spams of foodstuffs in various states of completion. I post recipes. Some of you have even been brave enough to make them!
Are you going to be at BronyCon?
I've not planned for this at all. My summer has just been too busy. So, I'm going to let you all do some planning!
Who's going, and when are we hanging out?
I don't have medical expenses. I have a car that'll get me to work. I'm not in danger of running out of food (potatoes, yes, but that's only because she eats them).
Yet, I present to you a patreon link.

Apparently, if you publish chapters while the story is unpublished (such as, for instance, a prereader or editor to read before publishing), then the story won't send a an update to your feed.
That is to say, I will make a blog post when I publish a new chapter, so you should get a notification if you've subscribed to the story.
So, chapter 3 is up now.

The problem is that when you publish a chapter, all existing chapters on a story have their 'notification switch' flipped, even if they aren't published themselves. There's a way to fix this issue, if you've got the time to do some copy/pasting:
1. Copy all the text in your currently unpublished chapters into another, temporary home (word, google doc, notepad; whatever is easiest and can preserve your formatting)
2. Delete all the unpublished chapters. Not just the text in them; the chapters themselves need to to be removed from the story.
3. Create a new chapter, paste in the corresponding text, and publish it when you're ready.
4. Repeat step 3 whenever you want to publish a new chapter. Don't create more than one unpublished chapter at a time (unless you're planning to release them all at once), or else you'll just recreate the problem all over again.
Hope this helps!

Why make it so complicated? Just make a new chapter, copy in the formatted text from the old chapter and then delete the old chapter.
ah, that explains it. Thanks!

Might work. Never tried it that way because I wanted to be sure that all the affected chapters were purged before adding new ones.

Been some time since I had the problem but I think it really only comes up with the chapters you already published before submitting the story.
In my experience if you link someone to a password-protected, unpublished story, all chapters will be automatically visible even if unpublished. That's what's happened when I've had people preread my stuff, at least.
4493518 That has been the opposite of my experience. The prereader for the last story I submitted was all "you sent me a story with no published chapters!"
4493357 Thanks, I'll do this!

It can definitely trigger after you've submitted the story. I had one that I submitted with three chapters that I was releasing one at a time. Before I got to #3, I had added several more, but I realized somewhere around #5 that the notifications were no longer going out. I cleaned everything that was unpublished out and from then on it started working normally.

It has to have a password, I think? Maybe it's just
Pinkie being PinkieFIMfiction being weird.I use Google Docs and just send my editor the edit link when I want him to edit. Way better than a document or this site because it allows for notes and comments to be added too.
