When I went to read and review A small death by Wiz Wharton, there was no text.

I suppose I have no choice but to remove it, but it seems that the author and the sysadmin ought to know there is a problem.

Has anyone encountered this before?

If you read bigbad's apology to Joan Collyns, he/she (?) seems to have had the same problem and somehow guessed the questions to get the credit anyway. The post is somewhat amusing.

This happened to me once. I took it as the writer wanting to leave the entire story up to the imagination of the reader. I gave them all fives for the sheer brilliance of the idea. I guessed my way through the quiz and passed it. The author was most appreciative.

I can't figure out how someone would upload it - I think it's a glitch because normally you can't upload anything under 2000 words, right?

A story is uploaded - a review is written - the author cuts the story out to edit it on word - blank space is left?

It's a good idea to check a story after it's uploaded. I've uploaded before, it says it's successful, but when I looked there was no text. It happens.

Well if it can do that I've an absolute pile of shorter stories hanging around to which added word count would be of no help.
