Okay, so this one’s either the result of:
Updating while half-conscious from pain medicine while awaiting extraction of a particularly painful wisdom tooth, or
The consequence of several mini blonde moments combining into one super-mega blonde moment.
Apparently while updating A New Lease on Life I...missed...a couple chapters...and I just realized they’re missing...roughly twenty uploaded chapters later. If I hadn’t noticed that the numbers in the titles and on the chapter list were matching up even worse than usual, I may never have noticed. (I include a short Prologue with long-haul stories like this one so the chapters always run a number or two behind the automatic site numbering, but the discrepancy here was clearly off.) I completely missed those two chaps, or perhaps they didn’t upload properly because I fell asleep at the keyboard...again.
Yeah. Not one of my finer moments as a writer, but fortunately, it’s not one of my worst, either, since the word “moist” didn’t come into play.
Anyway, I’ve gone back, edited the two missing chapters in Word, and uploaded them to the site, but they automatically uploaded to the end of the list and I haven’t found a way to reorder the chapters. It’s possible I’m just missing the option (I’m severely under-rested and equally under-caffeinated) and I wanted to ask around before resorting to deleting EVERYTHING back to the missing chapters and re-uploading everything one-by-one. Is there a way to get my chapters back in their proper order quickly and painlessly, or is the delete/reupload thing my only shot at fixing this? (Not gonna lie – if that’s my only option I’m probably gonna need a nap and a drink first...and it’ll take a week or longer...and I’m probably gonna cry like a ninny from frustration before I’m done.)
Story in question: A New Lease on Life - http://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095128&chapter=1
[ automatic numbering – actual chapter number: Title ]
Chapters uploaded in correct order: 1 – Prologue through 23 – 22: Borrowed Words
Missed Chapter: – 23: The Truth Can Hurt
Uploaded in correct order: 24 – 24: Plans and Promises and 25 – 25: Loyalty Wears Many Faces
Missed Chapter: – 26: Renovation, Revelation, Realization
Uploaded in correct order: 26 – 27: A Taste Without Tears through 47 – 48: Did I Have a Dream, or Did the Dream Have Me?
The two missing chapters have uploaded at the end of the chapter list; I’ve marked them with “OOPS” in the titles. If anyone can help me fix this foul-up or advise me on how to do so, I’d be most appreciative.
...off the record, my naturally blond husband wants to bleach my hair to give my “blonde moments” some legitimacy. I’m far too brunette to get away with them when he never has any.
