Technical Support Forum

Hi!

Several people told me about this issue, so I feel like it's worthy trying to ask.
I have people who would really like to see writings me or some others have made on writing.com.

But they all seems to encounter this error whenever they try to access interactive stories, even with an account (free ones) :

"Just a minute...
Interactive Stories are temporarily unavailable
to visitors and free members."

Is it really "temporarily" ? Because they all seems to have never been able to access interactive stories, not even once (they tried on different day, different hours and for some since months).

Are they just unlucky or actually it's completely locked to free members for indeterminated amount of time?

To be clear, it's not complaint against whatever access policy writing.com has in regards of interactive stories. I love writing.com and i'm happy to support it with my money since years.

But it's kind of a bummer to not being able to share with free members...
You want to share this cool website and invite people to read the many good story there.
But then, they simply can't even pick a look at interactive stories, even just a little without paid subscription.

I'm not talking about giving them full access, for server load purpose, but something like, I don't know, being able to access at least even just 1 or a few page per day for them would be great for sharing with enthusiast people who seem to be left out of it all as it is.

I know it can be an embarassing/uneasy subject to address.
I just want to know if there is any chance for free members there.
I think it can unfortunately deter many people to get interest in this website.
(but of course, it's just my opinion)

Thanks anyway in all cases for your time!

Kindly,
