This is my second attempt posting this. Probably, it will be substantially briefer and less detailed too.
I recently submitted an update for a story. I submitted part 2 to this story, which was officially added on March 22, 2008. Following the guidelines for "Submit Story" followed by "Update Existing Story", I filled out the entire form to update story codes as well as make some minor modifications to the display of the story information page as my author information page. (Apparently, one can't include an apostrophe in either without them being translated to \' I'm guessing that is a bug somewhere.) The instructions provided say, "please do NOT include other story information unless you want to update it (e.g. author's email, self introduction, story synopsis, codes, etc.)" I wanted to update the codes, so I filled out the whole form, but the codes were not updated, nor was the issue with the apostrophe fixed.
The update does not appear to be listed under the main stories page. I don't know if it takes some time for those updates to occur. They are listed under the story page for the specific story

but I'm not sure how people will possibly know to find it there if it isn't listed somewhere as a story update, assuming they are even interested in teh first place. Perhaps this is done on a regular cycle that simply hasn't occurred yet? Any information about that would also be appreciated, and if this happens on a regular basis, maybe some information about that would be useful to post so authors like me don't keep having to pester people by saying "When is it going to be listed there?"
In any event, there seems to be discrepancies between the instructions provided and what actually happens when you follow those instructions.
I really don't want to gripe because I think this is a fantastic community, and I thank all of the admins and mods and story contributors for making this such a wonderful place.
