You've been awarded Editor's choice... in the Archive section. Congratulations!

EB looks at stickygirl's post very closely. Just because you are still young, my dear...

All this is making me quite glad I don't have any new stories this week.

Yeah, wish I had delayed submitting mine. Kind of sucks watching this trainwreck while I've got a story stuck in it.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

It's kind of frustrating. It's a novel in five parts, 75,000 words. It took me months to write. I have it uploaded into Drafts ... and I'm afraid to submit it.

My advice (worth what you paid for it):
Don't submit until the technical issues clear up. I know the pressure you are feeling. The story is done, you just want to send it, but wait. You put so much time and effort into the story. It deserves the best chance you can give it to succeed.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

I have to wonder ... if other authors (not just the two of us) don't submit stories, will Laurel notice the decrease in new stories?

Hey, I finally have stuff showing up again. Although one of my notifications is about someone's story being published 2 hours ago.

I'm starting to wonder if the drip-drip of stories is intentional, and not just in an emergency kind of way. I suppose there are a few potential merits to releasing small batches of stories every hour or every few hours instead of all at once on a daily basis. Notification feeds would be a bit more sedate on average, and it would allow more people at least a few hours on the front page of the categories with lots of new stories.

You have a point.

This is not strategy - it’s all hands on deck panic.

This is not strategy - it’s all hands on deck panic.

What I suspect is that this place has always been run by people, not processes. If you take a key person out of the mix - for whatever reason - there aren’t robust processes to take up the slack.

I suspect humans have made up for deficiencies in the tech for a long time. But what if those humans aren’t around to wrestle alligators? You get it all breaking down.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

We're all guessing. As far as we know, exactly two people have actual information.

My Activity Feed restarted a couple of hours ago, which will align with a US somewhere midnight server refresh, I reckon. Hopefully the glitch is fixed.

 

[MrStill]

My notifications are back, starting from 11 hours ago. Hope this is the same for everyone

I do hope this wasn't false modesty on your part - for mine, I'm used to people not believing me! Thank you for regarding me as young still

 

[onehitwanda]

so... still handing out editors choice like smarties from the back of a white Ford Transit van then?

sigh

 

[TheLobster]

Well, if you think about, every published story had to be chosen by the editors that be and explicitly allowed to grace (or in my case, sully) the esteemed pages of Literotica.

Which means that every single one has implicitly gained the Editor’s Choice distinction. And now that the site admins have fixed the glitch, we can correctly see that hallowed badge on every story, as we well should!

 

[stickygirl]

Didn't see a badge so it's prolly just another glitch
and that ^^ screengrab image should self-destruct in the next hour going by current form.

Aaand ... my Activity feed is now showing the "technical issue" error.

Yeah.

I can't say I'm a fan of all this shit...

Right now, I am dubious those two people have actual information about what is going on.

I can only assume that the current problems include a failure to notify people when their favorite authors have published a story. The views and votes are extraordinary slow since my story was published.

 

[FrancesScott]

Still alternating between showing stuff and the boilerplate error message.

Yeah - it would be a drag on views.
