Moving a chapter?

StarFleet Carl 🚫

This may end up simply being something that Lazeez has to do, but I didn't know if it was something we can do that I missed.

I wanted to wait until Book Four was effectively complete on my end to post the cast of characters. So, I just put it up. However, it now shows as the final chapter. Are we able to move the chapters, to change the order that they appear, or is that only something Laz can do?

My concern is that on Saturday, when Chapter 19 posts like normal, that the TOC will read Chapter 18, Dramatis Personae, Chapter 19. I don't mind if the cast page is the very last one, or the one immediately after the prologue. I simply didn't want to post it TOO early this time around, as there were some serious plot spoilers if I'd done so.

It's already fixed, but this answer is for the future.

Stuff like moving chapters/parts within a story can only be done by moderators.

I'll just make sure I have an appropriate filler chapter in the future. I've had to re-upload half the book, because multiple chapters just disappeared, resulting in duplicates.

ETA: Make that the whole book, on both SOL and SciFi. Chapter One got deleted, which moved all the others up.

None of that supposed to happen. Vixen must have messed up unintentionally.

Usually we can easily insert parts wherever we want in the story.

That is exactly what will happen.

Best you can do is add a note to the mods in the story submit engine. Or email Lazeez direct asap.

Personally since a floating CoC isn't possible on SoL, I'd leave off posting the CoC until after you post the last chapter/epilogue. Otherwise a mod will have to bugger about with it every time you add a chapter.

(Or you ask for the CoC to be inserted before chapter 1.)
