No, teasing like that is strictly forbidden. The author can post chapters on a regular basis with a bookstore ad at the end, but the author must keep posting chapters. (I forget the allowable maximum time between posts.)

The key is that, while posting, the link is then found on the current last-posted chapter, so anytime they get impatient they can purchase the whole story, otherwise, what makes SOL so unique, is typically SOL readers will read the entire story for free, then purchase it for full retail simply to encourage the author to continue writing.

Which is the complete opposite of most story sites, where they PAY to read and thus feel NO respect for the author at all. Plus, on SOL, we get a TON of useful real-world feedback from real-world readers you can't get anywhere else.

Honestly, that's one question I've never asked him... My stories are complete before I start posting on StoryRoom, and though I post two chapters a week there, I post the full, completed story on ZBookStore after I post the few chapters on SR for the people who don't want to pay for the whole thing (and are more patient than me...)

I always post the new book on ZBookstore (formerly Bookapy) about a month before I post to SOL. Then I set up my SOL posts for a chapter a day (meaning it will take two to three months for the entire story to be posted).

I do make chapters available via my support sites as I write them, but I never post until I've completed the book.

@canette

the reason is that I have seen a story here on SOL, that at the end of chapter 1 he or she has a bookapy link and after that there is a THE END, and not in progress like other stories
anyway thanks all for the info

If by that you mean the entire story isn't posted on SOL, but there's an ad to the entire story, and no more chapters are being posted, notify the webmaster (Lazeez) using the contact link. He will take the appropriate action.

Those stories were mis-processed by Vixen.

The author relied on me pulling the rest of the book from ZBookStore and handling it the right way.

They're all fixed now and in line with the site's rules.
