Hi!
I am contemplating putting a serial novel here. However, I do not see how I can fill in the Author Field as they are in a "drop down" without my Syzygym anywhere in sight?

Pick "New Author"

When you post the first chapter use New Author for the name. Afterwards Erin will add you as an author and add your name to the posting. After its created you will be in the list for all future postings.

P.S. Re: Authors

Once your name has been added to the list of authors, you can edit your story, select your own author name, refraining from selecting a second author (i.e. the author name, ‘New Author’) and save the story.

Voila! ‘New Author’ is vanished silently away.

It's just as easy to put it back, if you decide that you prefer the panache of youth.

This is also how collaborations like Dandelion War are marked with two (or more) author names.

New Author

A few weeks ago I posted a story as New Author after reading this post. I have yet to be added into the author list. As I am looking to post a few more stories I was wondering if there is a new procedure to get this done. Though, I fully realize how busy the staff are here especially with the latest changes.
