Hidden Chapters/Pages AND announcement post for Authors

[GDLiZy]

More of a gimmick than an actual good request.

I would like the ability to publish "unlisted" chapters. Maybe the ability to send a draft for others to view before publishing. I know that you can just copy-paste stuff into the doc and sent it, but more option for the in-site function, the better the site becomes. (It also would be a good way to put in a secret chapter for some gimmick) Tony please add transparent text to the main site.

Then, I would also like the ability to post an announcement in my book's front page without having to post a fake chapter or editing the description. Ideally, it should also notify the readers that "there is an announcement in XXX story". It would be way better than posting a fake chapter that appeared in the latest update section.

+1 for the announcement. While the profile page should work theoretically as your announcement page, most people don't actually follow the author that they read, so having it be related to the fiction itself might be great.

This would be helpful. I tried to do the hidden chapter thing only to realize it doesn't work if not logged in.

If this hidden chapter thing is done, I think making something like a "publish chapter at this and that time/in x hours" function would be interesting. Then whenever someone wants a chapter to be released at a specific time, they don't need to actually schedule their timeplan so they can personally upload it at the right moment.

The schedule is already a thing.

Oh, I didn't know this.
Thanks for the info.

an unlisted, hidden chapter sort of thing would make crowd-editing much easier. if you could restrict it to certain users, you could pre-release chapters for volunteers who want to help edit and proofread.

bump for the upvotes!

Since the upvote function is gray and doesn't really bring that much attention to itself, I wanted to point it out for those of you who are unaware.
