Submission Issues

[ShadeShift]

Is anyone else experiencing issues submitting stories today? I've been attempting for several hours and from three different locations (so I know it's not on my end) and I've been getting a gateway error message (page not available).
PM'd Manu a few hours ago but haven't heard back yet.

Just curious if it's affecting anyone else out there.

Thanks!

I can't answer feedback or see Favorites lists. It's a problem with the site.

Glad to know it isn't just me.

No Stories Either

Stinks for the folks who had their stories posted today, I can't open a single one.

WaHoo

Site's back up and running!

This is depressing. Someone's story I beta read came out then. I think it's ended up hurting. The writer's other stories have done very, very well and this one is floundering and I see no reason for it given the writing is even better and the content is what many here crave.

Don't know what causes it, but this happens every so often. New stories that day can't be opened, nor can the feedback portal or author's submission pages. Everything else seems to work, but anybody who gets posted that day loses out big time.

At least this one didn't last quite as long as the last, if memory serves.

Sucked for me

Submitted chapter two of a short series and it just squeaked past the two thousand mark. First chapter hit ten thousand reads that day. Still got a hot rating but now fear the story will lose momentum and suffer long term.

That sucks! I'm totally bummed.

The best way to reduce the damage is to get the next chapter out as soon as possible. Anyone who missed Ch. 02 because of the downtime is more likely to remember the series and catch up that way.

Continuity

Good advice. Thankfully it's 90% done so I'll push to pop it out. Just concerned about continuity issues as it's hard to get readers to invest the time in taking a step back when there's so much else out there.

It's worth a shot though.

Many thanks! *fingers crossed*
