I'm getting a Page-Not-Found (IE: 404) Error for the set of poems that I uploaded.

They were originally written by my late-father, and I transcribed them as originally written to share and preserve them (as is my legal right as next-of-kin and sole owner of the single remaining physical copies), so I don't know what happened, or why this error is coming up, and would appreciate additional information for clarity on what is going on and/or someone fixing this issue.

Thank you.

EDIT:
This is the url for said story/poem collection.

Since publishing Beacon of Hope, I've had preview chapters for the other books on here as their own individual series just as a teaser. Right now, I'm actively posting chapters of Webs We Weave, so the preview didn't linger. There are several chapters of Chasing Horizons in reserve to be released once Webs We Weave concludes. The only thing viewable for Chasing Horizons and Legacy of Echoes is the "Preview".

The problem is that Legacy of Echoes has gone 404. I don't know why. I have all of these up on other sites, but I don't advertise them. There's just as much released here as on any other site. Having read through the rules regarding preview chapters (again), none of the criteria have been broken. I don't have reserve chapters for Legacy of Echoes because I haven't written them.

I think this is a bug. What can I do about it?

If it wasn't a translation, or anything else that might break Content Guidelines, please contact administration using the "Contact Us" at the bottom of the main page and include a link to your story.

If it's the same as in your signature, I can click on it, and it takes me to it.

Also, be careful with preview stuff because:

Preview Chapters​

  • Do not post a preview of a chapter and tell your readers to go somewhere else to read the full chapter. It's fine if you post a full chapter and tell your readers they can go to patreon to get more chapters, go to another site to read more if more chapters are posted on another site or just an alternative site to read on but the full chapter should be posted on this site too.
  • This also includes purposely not posting missing chapters to force users to go read the chapters elsewhere. Example: Posting chapter 1, not posting chapter 2 so users can go read it elsewhere then posting chapter 3, etc...
  • This also applies to anything which forces the users off the site to find missing parts between the chapters off the site.
  • An exception to the preview chapter rule would be Amazon/Kindle Unlimited. If chapters were removed because of Amazon/Kindle Unlimited's policies then that would be okay.

Thanks everyone! So glad to know it's back up!

Cordy: Thanks. I'll get the first chapter done and fix the "preview" thing shortly. I just... thought a teaser was kinda cool.
Tsuru: I know, right?!

Is it a translation? Coz translations were purged lately, and it's because translations are against site rules. Own translated stories (like you wrote it in your native language but translated it to English) is fine, though maybe it got removed along with the other translations. Might want to appeal that to the admins via Contact Us.

The translations? It got away with lax implementation of rules, but it's been in the guidelines since 2020.

Maybe not as clear in 2020, but assuredly had been made transparent in 2023. Either way, it's been a rule for years. Only recently has it been as heavily enforced due to growing demands for, well, enforcing it.

Since no matter how much I read the rules, my story still didn’t change the situation, I’ll write it here.
As I said at the beginning of this publication, I see no problem with my book. Yes, it's a translation, but it's my translation, of my works. As far as I know, and as far as others have assured me, this is allowed. There shouldn't be any other problems with the book. It doesn't contain sexual content or a generated narrative, and so on. The story has not been deleted, it is still displayed in the creation panel.
I already sent the messages to where I could yesterday. I'll just leave this here.
