Question
« on: December 21, 2010, 12:21:49 PM »
If I wrote a colab with someone and they created the story and added a chapter or two then added me and then deleted their name from writing the story would it stay on my account as just me writing it or would it delete the story?

If they created the story under their SN I think it would delete but i'm not sure.

Can I test that out? Basicly I have 2 sn's. I want to get rid of one of them but I don't wanna loose the stories and reviews. So would you mind if I maybe created a test story on 1 sn and tried what I juat asked above? I mean, I dont wanna break any rules but I also would like to try to move my work over.

You want to move your stories from one SN to another one? Is that what you want to do?

i'm oretty sure you can just edit the author. I'm going to try it with the story you just posted since it's short and would be easy to repost, so hang on a second and i'll see if it works

all you have to do it go to edit, then change the author. If it doesn't work I can do it for you because I was able to change your poem to my name. I changed it back again. lol

Only moderators can change authors, so I will do that for you. I would expect though that if we're switching these stories over to your own account that you would not continue to use the i_am_me account to review yourself.

no, im just getting way to confused on what i have and havn't updated and swapping back and forth to respond to reviews. I started that SN to post a story inspired by the movie called taken. I worried people would not like it and didnt want anyone to know it was me. however i do have people who like it so im not longer afraid.
