From what I've seen over the years, there's a midnight server runs that publishes new stories. They can go to New at random times, but they actually become visible to readers 24 hourly.
I think she (@SamanthaBehgs) was thinking that approvals got marked only at midnight as well. I think I had more stories published here than Samantha does now before I realized how the indicator changed in Pending to show it is approved and when it will appear. Sigh, yet another thing that is explained in my how to that has been in pending for almost two months.
Please let me know when the How To gets published. I'm looking forward to reading it.
And just like that, the world feels like a better place!And, just like that, Part I of The Story of Nix is out in the world
Thank you so much for sayingAnd just like that, the world feels like a better place!
Seriously, this is an excellent first part of what I think will be an incredible great story!
It's on my nightstand for tonight
@redgarters,Congrats!
Thank youCongrats!
. I’ve been bowled over by the reaction so far Had to come here to say I read the first chapter and really enjoyed it. I left a comment there. I was surprised you have far more comments here than on the story itself.Not sure whether I’m more scared of it not getting published or getting published
UPDATE 1: It took me 11 months and 17 days to finish - with writing other stuff in between and some long lacunae. The six parts total 86,662 words.
UPDATE 2: I was remiss to not mention: @Djmac1031 who read every word as I wrote and contributed many ideas. @Mastered_again who read all of the Parts once each was done. And @onehitwanda and @PennyThompson both of whom read sections. A number of other people saw snippets, but this margin is too narrow to thank them all.
Thank you
It really means a lot to me that you liked it. I hope I don’t let you down with the next five parts
If it helps, you are past the only anal in the whole 86,600 words.
