Just a quick notification that I have changed the settings in the Library. From now on, any and all new stories and chapters will be automatically published. I will be validating all the remaining stories and chapters in the queue tonight. If there are any stories/chapters that cannot be published, I will inform the authors.
This change is because I realise that the old validation process creates a lot of delays, not only do moderators have to spend a lot of time validating perfectly good stories, authors and readers also have to wait around for new material.
It is my hope that the new setting will encourage more of you to write new material, and be able to share it with your readers without delays!
Of course, moderators will still have the power to edit and delete any stories/chapters that are not suitable for the Library. So, please double-check your stories before you add them, by using the preview feature! Also make sure that you select the correct age rating for the material!
Thank you for all the stories you have written, and I hope we will see many more stories from you all in the future.
UPDATE: All acceptable stories have now been approved!
[Library] New Stories & Chapters now automatically published.

Hmm.
Thanks Smiter-sama.
I do have a question though, some of the stories on the first page, no matter where I access them (desktop, laptop) don't show up.

I have looked into it. All the blank stories are actually Series that are supposed to consist of different "books" connected together by a common thread (Like the Harry Potter, Dark Materials, and other book series in RL). It seems the authors thought Series = Single book and mistakenly chose that option instead of just starting a normal fanfic. You can only add fanfics to a Series, not chapters.
Since the blank series are nothing more than summaries, I have now deleted them and will send their authors PMs in case they would like to try again with their uploads.
All normal stories are perfectly readable. I will adjust the Library's FAQ to include Series, hopefully any future mistakes will be quickly corrected.
