Struggles to Post Fiction

[amypond45]

It took me three hours this morning, after watching the latest episode, but I finally THINK I've got my fic posted. I need to practice because I've joined three challenges and will need to post those stories eventually. So I broke the thing down into eight chapters, posted each one with tags and edits (too much space between the paragraphs -- is there a way to delete these en masse like I can do in Word? That would so much save time!) then the Masterpost with all the links to the individual chapters. Then I get emails for each chapter, like I posted them as separate entries! Which I guess I did, but what a pain! Not to mention I've probably flooded other peoples' inboxes -- so sorry! I guess I need help. How do I -- oh wait, maybe if I post each chapter privately? Then just the Masterpost can go public? Oh. Well, that was embarrassing!

When you post a chapter, it still has to be set to public to be read. However, down at the bottom of the posting form, there is a check box that asks "post to friends pages/RSS" - check that NO. That way, the chapters are public on ONLY on your lj, and then the Master post DOES post to friends pages, so we know your story is up :-)
