Topic: Question about newer drafts

I have revised a story and changed the status from 2nd draft to final. A few reviewers expressed interest in seeing the story again after revisions. Will they be able to get points since I've changed the status? They really should - taking a second look can take as much time as a first look and is often less fun, so they should certainly get credit for their generosity. Sol, I recommend bringing back the re-publish option, too.  I don't mind paying extra points. After significant revisions it's nice to get not only a second round of comments from reviewers but a first round from people not influenced by the earlier version.

You could just publish it again with the same Title + (revised) which would also be cheaper than the old republish option. Since you don't want new readers influenced by the earlier version, it should be perfect as they would not see the earlier reviews or original material. Just a suggestion. Take care. Vern

Vern is right. You can just publish it again. It's a better option than the old re-publish option.

Title + (revised) is the option I'm going to take when I do mine.

My 0.02 worth.
