located the news stories files (storyX.txt, all saved in the LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX folder), found the most recent (story68.txt). So I wrote my own story69.txt in Notepad, using the appropriate format for links, and saved it in the right place. Then closed OOTP, re-opened it, went to the News Section, and ... story68.txt still showed up as the most recent headline. Then I simmed another week, and my story69.txt was overwritten with a new auto-generated one.

what am I doing wrong?
I think there's an internal counter in the game that tells it what the latest story number is. If you had replaced story68.txt in that case, it would have worked. It's not the best but you could combine 2 into one.
