Wrong story posted

[penshockey1983]

I'm not sure of where to go on this one. I have no idea how my last story posted. It's not the same as the file I uploaded. Where do I go with this to get things fixed?

I'm not pointing fingers, but you must have accidentally uploaded the wrong file. Right? I mean, how else could it have gotten posted like that?

Send a PM to Laurel, but if you want, you can always follow standard Deletion methods.

Deletion method

There is also a way to edit titles, but I don't know if that would work here.

Send a PM to Laurel or resubmit the story with the full text and put EDIT in the title.

In a the Admin Notes area, tell her that the wrong story uploaded. She can fix it no problem.

It might take a couple days for the fix to happen.

I'm not sure that would work in his case:

Because he's basically replacing the entire story, and according to the editing FAQ:

Note: Story edits must be edits to the story that was originally published. You cannot replace the text of one story with a totally different story using the edit feature.

It was kicked back to me and it told me to put the correct text in the box. I re-submitted so I will see what happens.

Hopefully, Problem fixed!

Yep! It's gone from your works page!
Now to upload the right one!

That all said, a couple of years ago one of my stories was swapped with someone else's during the approval process. I was told then what I will convey now, it sometimes happens. Whether human or system error, doesn't matter, a note to Laurel fixed it.
