Audio stories are back!

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

Audio files can now be uploaded and attached directly at story creation time.

So come on, sexy Lush voice artists. Let's hear you...

That is great and all, but if your story gets rejected for any reason, you would essentially need to re-record.

I would love to see LS allow the approval of stories with the option not to "publish" until you are ready. This would also be helpful when you want to publish a multiple-chapter story at the same time.

Not really sure how that would operate. Seems a lot of work to have to approve+lock a story from further editing to prevent people changing stuff between approval and when you decide to submit.

And if you don't decide to publish, then moderator time has been wasted.

I doubt this will see the light of day.

The onus is on authors to write within the guidelines. If you do, there shouldn't be any problem. And if you're reading a story out that you've already written, the act of reading it aloud will help proofread it, allowing you to fix mistakes and thus making it better and more likely to be approved.

Win-win.

So what are you waiting for? I’ve heard your voice…

Hey everyone,

I have a question. I just finished the audio version of one of my stories. I tried to upload it, but I keep getting the following error: "There was an error. Please try again later".

Is there any way to fix this? I spent a lot of time creating this audio version, and I'd really like to be able to upload it 😢

Might be a temporary glitch. I'll ask the developers about it in the morning. Please drop me a line with the story name and what format file you're uploading (file size might be handy too) and we'll go from there.

Issue still here
I'll write all details to you in a DM.

Could be a bandwidth problem. How's your signal quality/ speed generally?

Good, I think.

I went to the website speedtest.net, and here are the results:
Download Mbps: 42.52
Upload Mbps: 17.11

The file size is: 39,7 Mo

Does it start uploading and stop? and are you running other programs, at the same time?

I'm not sure.

I see a progress bar in the browser, but on the website, the counter remains at 0%.

I've only uploaded images and videos and they upload steadily 🤷‍♂️

If you're uploading from your phone, it might be worthwhile to try a laptop if that's possible👍🏻

I can easily upload images, I never tried videos.
I'm uploading it from my laptop (I don't use Lush on my phone)

I'm out of ideas🙁

I'm waiting for a response from the IT team.
I hope they find a solution.
