I've just finished my third chapter of a storyline I'm writing.
I'd like to rephrase some things, now I have a bit more experience in writing.
Also some grammatical errors people have told me about, I’d like to edit those out.
I wouldn't really change the story, so readers don't actually have to reread them or anything.
Just wondering if this happens a lot here. The editing of posted stories.
Will it show somewhere that the story has been edited?
Also, will the story keep its view and such? Or is it considered a reposting?
Yes, it happens all the time.
If it's just a few small changes, they will be checked over by a moderator and the story will be re-verified. It won't lose its views, votes or comments and it won't go back on the front page. There will be no indication that the story has been edited; you would have to tell people.
If there are significant changes, it will need to be considered as a new submission.
Hope that helps.
Try using the spell check.
e.g. the title of this thread "Editting stories"
I'll also add that I discovered/learned that only edits to the story's body will result in re-verification. You can change tags, the one-liner or title more or less freely.
If you change the title, however, the URL of the story will change. That will invalidate any links to the story from anywhere else (forum signature, links you've given out in chat, blog postings in your profile, etc)
Thanks for your answers, they explained a lot.
