Okay. As I'm sure almost all of you have noticed, I've changed my Chapter posting style. From now on a chapter will be available in links. I have my reasons for changing my methods.
Anyway, below are a few scenarios you might encounter that might make it unable to read or access a chapter. So I've noted the several scenarios and given a solution to it as well. Next time if you encounter a problem, please refer here and if you still have any problems don't hesitate to message me.
The only way I wouldn't reply quickly, is if I'm asleep or driving… or if I'm dead… Should I erase that last part? Not sure if that's a good joke or not. Eh! whatever. I'm keeping it.
Anyway… Please read the notes below… For those of you tech savvy folks…. You can ignore this and go about your day. Or not and keep reading till the end. Up to you.
Q&A
Q. How can I open my chapter with this link?
A. There are two ways.
One. Just click the link and select the Google account you want your doc to open with… sometimes it might directly open the doc and sometimes it might ask this prompt.(This method is if you're using your phone)
Two. Copy link and paste it in a browser. Or right click and select (open link in new tab)
Q. I got the message that the file is in owner's trash and thus soon we won't be able to access it anymore?
A. Don't worry. It's because I'll be changing the links to a chapter at random times and you might be accessing it while I'm changing it. I'll complete the process in less than a minute and post the new link on the chapter page. So if it shows a message that the file is in the trash then just wait a few seconds, refresh the 'patreon chapter page' and click on the new link.
You should get access. The old link will be useless at that point.
Q. How do I put Google docs on dark mood?
A. Go to Chrome Extensions -> Open Chrome web Store -> Download Google doc Dark mode or anything similar. I downloaded dark mode - dark reader for chrome. -> install and turn on. Then open doc with link...
Oh and if you want check out (how to use dark mode in Google docs) in YouTube.
Q. Can I get a pdf copy?
A. I'm gonna politely say no to that. Sorry. If you want to read in pdf, contact me in patreon message and we'll talk.
Q. English is not my native language and I can't translate it in Google doc
A. Don't worry. Just send me a private message with your native language and I'll send a translated doc. I will try my best to send the translated doc in less than half hour of your request. If for any reason you don't get an immediate reply after sending me a message, then as I said, I'll be asleep or might be in the middle of something important. But I'll get back to you in less than 7 hours.
Q. Google document link not working. It says the work has been deleted.
A. This just means the link you're using has been changed. This would only happen if you're opening a link I sent in a message again after several hours or a day. There is a good chance I've changed the old link and put a new one in the patreon chapter post. I did it with chapter 266 a few times. Just to test it out.
Just refresh the patreon page and you'll be getting access to the new working link. Just right click and open in new tab or just click on it.
Q. The link in the email patreon sent is not working or showing, document deleted. What to do?
A. Just go to patreon page and open the chapter post you want. The link inside that will be working. The link inside the email will only be invalid if you open it a few hours after getting it. If you immediately open the link after getting the mail, it should work no problem.
So anyway these are the problems I've encountered so far. If you're having trouble I have a feeling you might find your solution here. But if you still need help, send me a message.
And above all, I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Hope you stick around.

I don't have any probleme with google doc so meh. Also thumb up for not using your phone while driving, I almost get hit by a car because of such a sh*t head (and since I'm on bicycle) not too long ago. Last thing, the joke with 'or dead' IS a bit depressing. So I prescipt 30min of cat video per day before going to sleep, or vacation. Anyway, good luck!

Ok I see. The issue. The email won't be updated. But that's a minor problem. You can always access the link inside patreon

Patreon doesn't send link, it sends notification or mail showing I made a new chapter post. I make edits in the chapter( meaning changing the links) but it'll be done in less than a minute. So your just one refresh away from getting access(if you were unable to get access) So what exactly is the problem?
Gamer4Life
I update the chapter pages with the new links so there won't be any problems. Patreon would still be able to email you or show you a notification that I made a post. There isn't any problems...

So, you decided to keep your upcoming chapters limited to google docs, presumably to centralize your control over your work... but in the process you intentionally adjusted the links so that patreon's very nice feature of emailing patrons your posts would be useless on the first chapter you did this on? you do realize patreon doesn't update those right? so, you made a post, and updated it so it no longer works... as a test?
Gamer4Life
Sorry mate. From now on I'll post only the link. Not the chapter...

Honestly reading on the patreon app is much easier for me at least. I don’t know why you decided to change that but if it’s easier for you or other readers then the change is cool. I have a suggestion though. Why not post the link at the beginning of the Chapter? The reader would be able to choose between reading here or google doc. Any changes you make you can easily copy and paste. It’s just a suggestion and it would be cool if you did that but it’s your choice in the end. Love reading your story and keep up the good work.
