Submission Logistics

Hi~!

Okay, so... Please do not mock me, but...

I'm confused as to how I would submit work that I share credit for. Half of it belongs to someone else, but we really want to get some feed back on it. We're wondering how to share the credit. But I don't think he has or wants an account with this site. It's an extended project, over 80,000 words and 150+ pages. I figured we would submit it under the novel/novella category, but we don't want to submit it all at once. We sort of wanted to put in ten (Word doc) pages at a time, and slow it down as we got to the sexual scenes. Is this the kind of site that does stuff like that? Or should we look into something else?

Maybe you could write an author's note at the beginning to the story to mention you and your buddy are the co-authors of that story.

I just wish there was an easy way to go back into a submitted story to fix stupid spelling mistakes.

That was my thought. But do we have to submit it all at once? Or can we do it in installments?
As in:
'Title Title Title Title
Chapter 1'

Then wait few days to a week and then add to it? Or will it show up as a new submission every time?

They're more knowledgeable about this over at the Authors' Hangout. You can submit the stories piecemeal, but in order for them to be shown as a series, the titles have to be the same and the chapter part of the title has to be written a certain way.

I had some terrific jokes for this thread, but the OP said "please don't mock me", so my hands are tied.

The way you describe it is the way you would submit it - in chapters a few days apart. It will show up as separate submissions on your index but they will be in chronological order so that is no problem.

Only one author's name is allowed but you can include an "Author's Note" at the beginning of each chapter telling readers the names of both writers.

As for correcting spelling, the way you do that is by submitted a revised version of the story. It must have the same name except there should be an upper case E preceding the name when it is submitted. It's a good idea to include the info in the "notes" section that the story is an edited version of something that has already been posted. I have done this a couple of times and it works alright.

And, yes, the Author's Hangout is the place to ask about things like this. You are lucky in that you have received genuine answers. Usually, you will get a bunch of smartasses on this forum.
