If anyone could dabble around a bit and figure things out, that would be great!

I've made an account before, and to sum it up, it's really a pain in the ass and some of people who run the stories are pretty anal with the format. In example, with Katie's story, the owner (I think) deleted a chapter of mine because I didn't know how to create that box with the stats. No other reason than that, and while I have to admit it's somewhat useful (although usually not updated from chapter to chapter anyway), it left a sour taste in my mouth. This, added to the fact it has strange linking method, makes it cumbersome at best.
Despite being a writer, the rigid freedom experienced there from story to story makes it out to be a Hellhole.
The best I could imagine is having a "Mega Story" where the first page acts sort of a link list to other stories so everything could be contained and more easily monitored.
