...But I forgot.
SOL allows you to serialize stories. You can post chapter 1 today, then chapter 2 next Monday, and then chapter 3 after you finish writing it.
However, There Are Rules. One rule, which I knew but forgot about, is that "You can only 'Continue' a story which exists."
Sure, that makes sense. Only....
I'm posting a story that I didn't write, because the writer gave it to us and we can't get ahold of him. I put in a "Forward" to warn people, of course. I'm posting it but I didn't write it.
So...the forward should go first, right? Before the actual story? So, I told the submission system that I'm posting a new story, and gave it my "Forward" file. So far, so good.
Then, I went back into the system to add the actual story to this, and my new story isn't on the list of options. Because, you know, it doesn't really exist. It's just a file that I submitted for posting. Once the forward gets posted in all its glory for everyone to read, then the new story will be on the list of stories I can add to. And y'all will actually get the story.
Sorry about that. I knew, but I forgot.
