save unaccepted characters when submissions close
I've tried to join three different games tonight, and they all closed while I was writing up the backstory. Suddenly, all those words and character text was just gone. It would be nice to save unaccepted characters somewhere so you can use them in another, similar story should the opportunity arrive.
Essentially, I just don't want to lose all that writing just because they happened to close submissions while I was writing it all up.

In Gamma, characters that don’t get accepted into an open game are no longer deleted. Rather, they are saved on a special page, from which you can decide to either keep them or delete them.

I've had that happen as well, and in other cases if my character wasn't approved I lost them too. And no, never did get a copy of either character in my email. :( Even checked my spam folders!)
And I don't even have a Characters section in my Profile. -

It should be stored in your Profile in a Characters section, sorted by Accepted, Pending, or Rejected. Also, it should indicate in which game each character is linked.

I've received a record of the characters I've actively cancelled before the submissions closed, but not the characters where I finished, hit submit, and found out that submissions closed a few minutes ago. That writing was lost, so I've started copying it over to a word doc before hitting submit.
Thanks for making Storium great, Stephen!
