Looks like things haven’t gotten fixed by putting in Java. Just FYI @manta2g and @BronxWench. So yeah, not sure what’s up with that but I’m not sure I’m in any hurry to get it.

Okay, just to update @manta2g and @BronxWench, I installed Java on my computer and this doesn’t seem to have changed anything. I haven’t had a chance to restart my computer to see if that helps, but installing it didn’t appear to ask me to do that. Still, just FYI in case there might be some other reason for it. I will let you know if rebooting fixes the problem.

Possibly, although it’s not necessarily a lesson heavy story. I kinda like the idea of specifying who’s getting the lesson or the teacher in the chapter title. There are probably 3 chapters out of 12 sorta have “lessons” part of this.

So, one of the things I’m thinking about with regards to my newly outlined story is bugging me. At one point in the story, one female character is instructing another in some… fun things. For the sake of keeping some mystery, let’s call them Mary and Jenna. There’s a chapter where Mary is teaching Jenna, and another where Jenna is teaching Mary. I’ve titled the chapters’ “Mary’s lesson” and “Jenna’s lesson”. But in thinking about it more, I’m not sure if I’ve labelled them properly. The chapter where Mary is teaching Jenna, I’ve called it “Jenna’s lesson” and vice versa for “Mary’s lesson”. Should it be the other way around? Is the Mary teaching Jenna’s chapter technically “Mary’s lesson”? Because she’s the teacher in this situation.

Damn, the longest I ever got was 114 chapters personally. Though I would say that I started writing in more detail. My 114 chapter story is 140,000 words. Whereas the story I started after finishing that one was 22 chapters and had 80,000 words. So my number of chapters get shorter but the amount of words stays the same.

Okay, it looks like I don’t even have Java installed on my system so I have to fix that. Although I’m probably going to be selective about using it. Maybe only for this site.

Daily? How long is the story that you’re writing? It seems to be incredibly long.

Makes sense. So how long are the stories that take extra time? 30 pages? That’s usually what I have, though it’s more often chaptered.

Totally get that. I might have a problem doing the proofread because I have a similar policy. Currently, I just post one chapter at a time and reread it probably twice before posting.

Okay, maybe I should just go ahead and post some of the stuff. I suppose I space things out to make sure people have the time to notice the story update.

Well being unemployed is like a super long vacation. So I have a couple stories I completed. One is a 7 part story in the Buffy category, a single chapter story in the TV category which may or may not turn into more chapters later. A two part story in the Buffy category. A 5 part story that I wrote a long time ago which isn’t finished in the Buffy category. I also have 5 chapters finished of the story I’m currently writing the second to last chapter for. Also, I have a very old story that I’m debating putting out there again because it’s probably the darkest story I ever wrote which is finished in the Buffy category. Technically, I have 3 finished chapters of the piece that inspired this post in the TV category which I will probably be combining into one chapter or possibly two. Mainly because the first two are mostly set up and the third kinda begins what I outlined over the weekend.

Do you at least post them or is it a wait until they’re finished?

Do you post them as you go?

One every couple of days? Currently my schedule is once a month. I have thought about maybe posting in other sections. For instance, my current piece that’s getting posted monthly is in the Buffy category. Whereas I have some that would go in the Television category. But a lot of my finished pieces are in the Buffy category.

Hmm, I’m not seeing anything in my settings but supposedly I can use add-ons that are Java related. Maybe one of those will work?

Well part of my issue is that I got a lot of writing done while AFF was having to be read only. So now I’m thinking about what I should do. Maybe just post the, I think 3 finished stories? Instead of just waiting until the current story I’m posting is done.

Firefox, pretty sure it’s the most recent version. I’m on a Windows machine. Possibly Windows 10 but not 100% on that.

This having ideas thing is getting annoying. I was going to make it a status update but apparently there’s a problem doing that. I was out an event over the weekend and for whatever reason my mind went to thinking about a story that I had mostly left behind for a while. There was a chapter that I wrote probably a year or two ago. It’s now up to 11 chapters for the story. It’ll probably end up here on this site. What’s annoying is that I already have like 6 story ideas already in my head and several I haven’t posted yet. Maybe I should just start posting them instead of spacing them out. Thoughts about posting more than one story at a time?

This is what I see @BronxWench

In case Manta needs it, I use Firefox and I did have an add on going. However, I disabled it in case that was the problem. My screenshot is what it looks like without the add on.

I’m not sure, I think it’s default? At least according to what I think I can find about my theme.

Hmm, that’s weird @BronxWench because I’m not seeing it on my page.

Okay, maybe I’m just missing where that is. You mean other people’s status updates?

Just curious because I’ve seen a few people who’ve been able to post via their profile. Is it that you have to get to a certain point in terms of rank on the site? Or am I just missing something? I’m happy to wait if that’s the case, but I might get annoying with my desire to get there. Hopefully not though.

Okay then, that’s cool. I thought it was like “You are online” light that you see on some places. I assumed that it was showing who was on the site right now. Good to know.
