There is an option in one’s profile the lets you not display stories published. I had an encounter with a writer who panicked because her 5 stories vanished. It was just that checkbox. She in checked and everything was fine again. Maybe just a “Lushthing” that the box is checked.
I am aware of that Privacy setting. When the 'Show my stories on my profile' button is toggled off, the Stories link doesn't show from the member's profile. When it is on, that is when it becomes visible and accessible.
From related forum posts, when a writer takes their story off from viewing by putting it back to editing mode, the story gets removed from the published stories list. In this case, the member's profile displays 1 story. For some yet to be known reason, it returns as 'non-existent'.
