I got questions in my head and they won't go

[Kimikimidoll]

1) One of my readers pointed out that they weren't updated about a chapter in my series, although I was on their favorites list. That series was noncon, but the chapter in question was romance. Now I have no idea even if Lit even updates its readers- can anyone shed any light on this situation?

2) How do you see who has put you on their favorites list? Okay better q: can you?

3) About chapter naming- can you keep a list of stories show up in your stories list under the same 'series' heading but with different chapter names?

4) Hi everybody! How are you?

 

[HeyAll]

1. There's no notification, unless you use the new panel (link up top!)

2. New control panel seems to show everything.

3. Only Laure does that when posting everyones stuff, authors can't, but maybe can requesr.

4. Sitting at the mall. How about you?

1. No Lit. doesn't notify anyone when new parts of a series post.

2. You can see (on your own submissions page) who has favorited you as an author or you individual stories for 30 days. When that ages out you will have had to record it someplace yourself if you want that information. You get an aggregate number of how many have favorited you as an author if/when you make the top 250 list for favoriting.

3. The only way I've been able to do that is to use the chapter titles as the descriptor.

4. Hi. Tired. Practiced for two Christmas concerts already today.

The first three questions seem to have been answered.

4) Hi, Kimi! How am I? Surprisingly well - for an old guy.

1-3. I concur.

4. I am doing most excellent. How are you?

Can you explain that a bit more? Hope you're feeling better.

@Zeb- thanks, I never used the new one before- it looks wonderful!

@Sam, Patricia, Heyall- I feel wonderful, submitted a chapter of a new series! Was wondering whether to put it in sci-fi or novels, then i thoght sci-fi/fantasy. It's historical actually, but there will be fantasy elements soon. No elves- in feudal Japan they don't do elves.

Can you explain that a bit more? Hope you're feeling better.

Here’s a “for instance.” In my series “Vampire LaCour’s 2nd Coming,” which was published previously as a book, I put the chapter titles in the Lit. listing descriptor field:
“Fontnet’s Retreat Release” for chapter one.
“French Quarter Rejuvenation” for chapter two.
“Natchez Refreshment” for chapter three, etc.
Most of my series of previously published books use the chapter titles in some way in the individual chapter descriptor field.

Yes, I'm feeling better after a nap, thanks.

Wow Zeb, that is great! I love it. Cudo's to Manu and Laurel for giving us that and thanks to you for sharing the link.

You're welcome. It's still in beta. I don't know when they will be releasing it.

I remember one author that sent me updates by email when he posted a new story, he has since left Lit and took his stories down. I didn't ask him to do that, but the notifications came after I sent him feedback. I assumed he did it to everyone who had contacted him.

So it wasn't an automatic thing, and he had to spend the time on his email to send to the list he wanted to. I tried that for a while, but stopped. I just don't get that many feedbacks, probably something to do with not posting many stories lately.

I doubt there's any rule that requires an author to notify his followers. I think the OP's follower is pretty cheeky. It's a free site folks.

If everyone who had ever favorited me got an e-mail every time I posted a story to Lit., 95 percent of them would get awfully tired of that awfully quick.

3) About chapter naming- can you keep a list of stories show up in your stories list under the same 'series' heading but with different chapter names?

It seems to work if you title them something like this:


Highlander Ch. 01: There Can Be Only One
Highlander Ch. 02: There Should Have Been Only One
Highlander Ch. 03: Let's Pretend #2 Never Happened

But try to avoid "SeriesName Ch. 01: The Beginning Part 02" - having more than one part number in the title seems to break the chapteriser.

lol no. I didn't even know there was a notification system until she sent me a PM saying, hey, how did I miss a chapter?

@Bramblethorn: thanks, i'll try it out for my next series.

None of those titles will fit in the title block. They all are too long.
