I hit submit (six times, one for each part) on my first novel 😳

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.
 
I’ve been truly humbled by the comments and messages I have received. I never really thought that Nix would have much of an audience, or be seen as anything but me writing for myself, but the reaction has been heart-warming, particularly from some of the excellent authors here - thank you all 🥰
 
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.
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.
I'd have missed it even though I was half looking/waiting as I don't read 'novels' much.

I admitted to Emily in DM that, when finished, I was too emotionally exhausted to write a coherent comment in situ. Very well-crafted, very readable. I found myself reading faster wanting to take in more with each scene.

So I have a date tonight with a computer screen, a touch after midnight...

It really means a lot to me that you liked it. I hope I don’t let you down with the next five parts 😬
 
Thanks, Em. Even though, as you know, I'm not a big fan of anal play, you presented it a way that is soothing and comfortable, and technically astute. It was all a good read.

If it helps, you are past the only anal in the whole 86,600 words.
