Hello,
I have been working on a short story in Veilgarden for weeks now. I managed to get the potential to 181, spending a lot of actions and echoes. But I went to the Empress' Court today, and clicked on the story where the guy in court wants to have a word. He said I wasn't good enough yet etc. (even though I've already completed close to a hundred works), then I got taken to a page where the only option I had was to reset my work's potential to zero. It said I had potential, but wasn't working on anything, let's fix that for you etc. And now it's all gone.
I couldn't find the bug reporting tool so I'm posting this here. Please do help. I have screenshots, but can't attach them here since they're on my computer. I can upload to imgur and post a link if you need to see it.

You'll probably get a response just from posting on the forums, but the admins will have to forward your request to support.
Consider e-mailing support@failbettergames.com directly.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).
I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

Sounds like a bug with the Writing Works at Court storyline resetting your working on a short story even though that isn't one of the works for court. Support should definitely be able to help.

Unfortunately this is not a bug - there is a warning before you play the option
[spoiler] From: A slow day
The Veteran Privy Counsellor would like you to come this way. He's a Duke, isn't he? You should probably pop along.
Game Instructions: If you're creating a work of art like a Short Story, you'll need to finish or cancel that first. [/spoiler]

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Just to clarify: both the Writer's desk for short stories and the Empress Court/Artist in Residence sequence share the "Working on" quality, even though they use different options to finish them (Inspired and Potential). This is cleared once you've selected a "Potentionally...." Option for short stories under Finish a Short Story or by finishing a work in the Court.
I wonder why there isn't just a lock on the Veteran Privy Counciler's storylet if you've any Potential or Manuscript pages.

Thank you for all the replies. Looks like I've had a lapse of absentmindedness, and I'll have to start over again
