Help Please on Publishing

[fjim87]

Hello,
I have written a story for Literotica and am having issues getting it published. I have an editor who is willing to look at the story but have been unable to copy and paste the story so I can send to them. I typed the story in Literotica instead of doing a word doc. How can I get the story to the editor without completely retyping?

You can cut your story from Literotica and paste it into Word, then attach the Word document to your editor. It has worked for me.

It's difficult to explain because I'd have to post a new story just to see the buttons and options but if you're using a browser/Windows you should be able to go to the beginning of your story Left click hold on your mouse, drag down the length of the document, then CTRL-C which should Copy everything that's blue/highlighted. Then Paste it into the email/Word/Google Docs/Apple Pages or whatever. If you're talking about the box that actually allows you to add/edit what you've got. You should be able to hit CTRL+A, which will select everything in that edit window. The CTRL+C and CTRL+V into whatever your using to get it to your editor. If you're on your phone then I would suggest getting on a computer, because I've had issues with copying out of them on various websites. Highlight it all, hold press to get the copy function to jump out, only to have it unhighlight everything but the word you happened to press.

After this I would suggest using Google Docs or Apple Pages (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called) if you want it kept in the Cloud. Hell if you have a online email client, which most everyone does, you could leave it as an Email Draft. Then there is no local copy for you to worry about and it's much easier editing or getting to other people. I'd be deathly afraid of putting something in Literotica unpublished and leaving it there, an update or who knows what could come through and clear that out... That would suck.

I have written two chapters of a story and trying to publish them for the first time. I have uploaded them by copy and pasting them then submitting them for review to be published. They showed that they were uploaded successfully and were in the pending file. After a day or two they went from having a “pending” sign to having a “New” sign. However, they are still showing up in the pending file. Do I need to do something else once they are accepted to get them to show up for others to read?

Congratulations, your first story got published. Once it gets the 'New' sign (I thought it used to be the date of publication, often the next day?), it means it has been accepted and will be published.

Thanks RubenR.
