Hi, i recently started a new fiction but i'm not sure how to make a new chapter. when i click on the new chapter option under my fiction it just comes to an option to post a thread.

There is [Submit a new fiction] simply fill everything beneath it, I believe they will be self explanatory.

The 'new thread' will be a 'new thread' under the fiction title you clicked 'new chapter' for.
That's how you do it :P
(((The "thread's subject" -in this case- is the name of the chapter...)))

thanks, feel pretty stupid right about now

No worries, gotta learn somehow!
(I just play around until I figure everything out. The 'preview thread' button is my friend a lot of the time.)

I did this 24 hours ago.  Nothing has appeared, I cannot see or edit my second chapter, but the system says my chapter title is being used.  Why is the system blocking me from posting?

@doublearoi
Try posting your chapter here http://royalroadl.com/forum/newthread.php?fid=3833
fill [Thread Subject] as title
and [Your Message] your chapter

And update me on how it goes.

I posted a new fiction, I have 2 more chapters to add as well, but I have to wait for it to be verified by a mod right?

NVM faq answered my question. thanks anyway for those who would have helped ^^

So I understand the concept of posting a chapter. But how do you do post the chapter in such a way as to not have to fix the spacing every paragraph and every time a character says something? When I'm posting like 10 to 20 pages per day, cut and pasted from word....I then lose a lot of time having to go back over it and adjust the spacing on every line.

I think the readers would rather have that time be productive into making actual progress on the story.

If it matters I'm cutting and pasting from my own saved word chapter docs, because the word format is easier to see and work with before bringing it in.

Also there's the issue of how do you delete chapters and stories? I toyed with this idea because in my existing readership I could say hey I'm going to post three chapters each of two new stories, and then let the readers vote on which to keep and then delete the one that is the low votes. By doing it that way I don't have to build a readership from nothing....but I can't do that without a way of being able to delete chapters.

Word treats the 'return' or 'enter' input as a paragraph break, while forum software treats it as a line break. If you want Word to reflect how things would appear on these forums, modify your Paragraph Style options under the Spacing category so 'After:' is set to 0 pt. (You'll end up putting in two breaks instead of one each time.)

I'm not quite sure what you intend to do with deleting chapters, but if you want to delete a chapter, the option should be at the top of the thread when you edit it with the 'full edit' option.
