Where's it go?

For a second time I was deep into a story and suddenly it was gone. I saw no save draft button do I have to stop and copy often?

I always recommend stories are written locally, for example, on notepad or Word and then copy/pasted into the submission box.
There is a timeout feature at the site, it is set for a rather long time, but it does exist and it sounds like you came up against it.

On the positive side, we are working on a site rebuild right now that will have better features for contributors, such as save draft, story submission tracking, etc.

Please give the local writing > copy > paste a go until then. Sorry you lost your first draft......

That confirms what I'm doing now is correct. Thank you
