I have a story in the letters challenge (Tides - thanks for making it the sory of the day, BTW!)
I put it up so I would not miss the deadline, but now that my beta is home, we have spotted an error of geography I would like to change -- but I cannot use the editing button, because when I type in the correction and hit update, it tells me the challenge is closed.
This mistake is going to bother me forever if I can't fix it! (LOL!!)
What can I do?

That's a good one.... err... not quite sure how to do it easily. Will have to wait for hubby to get home. After all, it's his code.  But don't worry, we'll find a way.
do.

I have the same problem with my story for the So that's why they call it.... challenge! And the mistake keeps bugging me but I've got no way I know of to fix it. (Mine is just an extra word in a sentence.)

Yeah, wifey nagged about this last night.
My view was that it's a challenge, and the entry has been made; you can't submit an entry to a challenge and then decide to change it! Otherwise it's not a challenge is it, it's a plot bunny...
I'll wait until I get hit over the head with a fryingpan and see what everyone else thinks.

I'm not trying to add a new story or chapter, Mighty Code-Father of Oz. I need to change a line about "the city" to a line about "the country". Hey, It was 5am and my beta was on vacation. But, I will abide. Can I add my error acknowledgements as a feedback of some kind?

He's really being a plonk, isn't he? Well, since he doesn't seem inclined to find us an easy way to do this, all I can think of is for you two, ladies, to send me the whole file (or particular chapter where the change is needed) and I will upload it for you. As an admin, I have the proper permissions to do this even if it's a closed challenge entry.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
do.

What a bunch of whinging minnies
I've made a change; you should now be able to make your adjustments to the stories. (Not tested, so let me know if it falls down in a big pile of |
