How many pieces can I submit at anyone time on this site?

I've got a few chapters of a book that I'd like to submit. Can I only submit one at a time? Or can I do more than one at a time? And if so how?

And also will the reply to this question come somewhere that I'll find it easily?

Thank you X

Thank you. And yes very frustrating!

Hi Diane,

Lorraine Swoboda has got onto the web controllers about this, and they've replied that they're looking into it.

From personal experience, I can tell you that - unless both combined are within the 3000 word limit and you "edit" Ch. 1 to ADD Ch. 2 to the end of it - if you want to upload Ch. 2, you have to do it by replacing Ch. 1.

Added irritants:

a) This is not made clear when you actually do it.

b) The comments others (and you) made to Ch. 1 will NOT disappear: they'll be transferred to Ch. 2.

In my case - https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/jimmy-hollis-i-dickson/work - it wasn't Ch. 1 and Ch. 2: they were 2 completely different stories. When I posted my 2nd story, my 1st one disappeared completely. The 4 comments that were made on the 1st story now appear as if they're the 1st 4 comments on the 2nd story... to which they bear NO relation.

The 5th comment (which begins: "That's magic, Jimmy!") is - in fact - about the 2nd story, but YOU DON'T KNOW THAT unless I tell you so!!! For all you know, it might have been a comment on the 1st [disappeared] story.

VERY confusing, VERY irritating.
