They made a small error on my story. can they fix it.

I made the title "Karma Bus Route 1" as in "Karma Bus, Route 1". as in a bus route number. the made it Karma Bus Route Ch 1. Yes I know it was too short. can they fix the title?

They can, but not by posting the issue here. Send Laurel, the story submissions editor, a "conversation" PM requesting the correction.

I can see where the confusion would have happened. Always make certain that you intentions are clear and if you have any doubts, document them in the note section when submitting.

While you wait for the correction, I suggest posting a comment under your story explaining the error to help clear up any possible reader confusion.

I have to leave soon and cannot wait for an answer and will not be back until monday. Can someone direct a comment to the powers that be for me?

No. The system isn't going to do what a third party asks to be done with your story. This is the wrong venue for what you're asking. I've already posted what you need to do with your issue.

No. You have to submit an Edit request - resubmit the whole story with a Note detailing the correction you want. That's the only way to get it into the queue, and even then it will have low priority (a week or two). As it is, it's only a minor glitch and doesn't affect the story itself.

Well, no, it's not the only way. It's just a title change. A direct PM to Laurel would take care of it--and probably faster than dropping it in the edit queue.

May I suggest that you retitle the story ""Karma Bus, Route One."

The procedure, if you haven't ascertained it from the FAQ, is to submit the story again using the wrong title followed by the word "Edit." Then, in the box provided for your comment to Laurel, simply explain the mixup and give her the new title. That should take care of it. But be advised that the process may take a week or so, because the edits are of lower priority than the tons of new stories that come in every day.
