i do the same, composing in word.
trick is to clear all the formatting in word (if you haven't already), then go back and make sure there are only double returns between paragraphs.
i prefer double returns rather than single returns and paragraph indents for readability.
use your word counter (or rough guess by counting word pages) to break your stories into 10k or less chapters, titling them ch 1, ch 2, etc. in word first so you can keep track.
then cut and paste "chapter" by chapter.
like anything, alls you got to be is a % or two smarter than your tools

it _was_ well written but i sort of got lost in the numbers and statistics.
also i read (and write) for my arousal and arousal of any who read my work exploring the erotic sensuality of the fattened male body, so just growing fatter doesn't push any of my buttons.
however, as an example, mz jezebel's brilliant michael series, especially the latest part 16 most assuredly does, and with a vengeance.
but to each their own...write what turns you on and damn the critics :-)
btw tweaking your story's sub title will bounce yours to the top...just adding chapters does not so your story stays buried. a bad thing if you want people to read added chapters. unfortunately the feature can be misused and has been, so a caveat if we want the feature to remain .

good luck
you might get better results and more responses just by posting a chapter or two of your work in the story section here.
request comments, good or bad. if people like what they read they will ask for more.

hello winterstocking
i too have looked and came up zip...i guess there's just not any kind of market for it except for those rare few of us swimming against an overwhelming tide of bbw-ness.
i'm afraid we're just going to have to not give up our day job and write what pleases and arouses us. well, works for me anyway.
love all your writing btw, was and is still some of the best here...any chance you might consider hitting the keyboard again for we few nutcase misfit lovers of your prose? :-)

yours bump to the top frequently, from tweaking and adding chapters...which is a good thing imo.
(although it SHOULD work only when a new chapter is added, not screwing only with the pic or the description)
anyway, may be _that_ process scrapes off the stars in the bowels of the ff site programming code.
might write hiccupx direct and ask

thanks for the tip chubby. that is a mysterious, magical area and many of us guys simply don't know our way around down there as well as we should. I've come across some ladies almost as clueless.
I for one would sure like to follow a do's, don'ts, and that could never happen in a million years thread for erotic fiction writers.
the main reason i write is to turn others (and myself) on and if there's any way i can do a better job, i definitely want to hear it :-)
