They figured out a workaround is all. Though with things borked, I don't want to risk attempting that.

What's the workaround, do you know?

A workaround? Wait...what? Don't keep us in suspense. LOL

I was able to download my chapter but not actually add it to the story.

[DreGregoire]

Here's what I found for existing stories. It doesn't help me but maybe some of you it will. I'm trying to post a new story, heh.

All you needed to do was change the word "property" in the URL of the story editor to "content." So click on your fic like you normally would to add a chapter and while on the error page just change that word and it works.

Yeah, the upload bit is fine. I did that last night. Just not the posting part.

 From the Help Desk forum at FFn: 

Posted by Slashguy and Effiron
First: Write down the ID number of the story you want to edit (the 7-digit number) 
Second: Then use the following link:
http://login.fanfict...net/story/story ... p?storyid=
And then place your story ID number after the "=" sign without any spaces.

Again, I haven't tried it, nor do I want to risk it. But, if anyone else wants to give it a go, you're welcome to it. Others have tried and met with success. I'm just not sure what will stay and go once FFn support manages to fix the issue.
Speaking of, this is what they said the issue was (in the same forum):

From Benjamin - Help Desk Forum Moderator
Good morning folks, tech support is here!
I've been researching this error. It's a coding error in the page's java, tostories logged on a specific server. I have found that other stories workaround that one, because they don't follow the same hyperlink string of linkcommands. Problem is, as it is an internal code specific error with a precisearea of story IDs (apparently all the stories within the 46##### hex metafilecluster), there isn't much of a shortcut. So here's your options;
1) Support@fanfiction will probably get to looking at it on Monday, so bepatient.
2) As the hexfile ids of the damaged stories is an older string, you could(and mind you, this is an unrealistic long route) delete the story andre-create it so that it happens in a new hexfile cluster.

I considered that it might be possible to upload the whole story to another forum that's working, then change it to Dragon Age, deleting my previous story posting, but that seemed a tad baroque. Also I'd loose the few reviews I have. I'm hoping someone came up with a better idea. Oh, but wait. That wouldn't work either. I'd still need to access the story data in the DA area.

Edit: Thanks, Inquartata. I'm going to give that a try

This does open up the correct page but I haven't tried posting that way because I have no new chapters to post. LOL

The first didn't work for me. I'm just going to delete the story and reload. That will make the error be fixed immediately, of course. So let it be known that I'm taking one for the team.
Edit: well...bollocks. I don't know what that guy is talking about, because I don't see a way to delete the story without being able to log on to edit it....

I do see the new info above, though, so now I'll try that.

This just took me to the regular page with no layout, so I still had to click on 'my stories' and got the same error. What did I do wrong? This was what I used
http://login.fanfict...toryid[mynumber]

Also, is there a way to delete the story without accessing the story itself?

When I click on "My Stories" I get the list of my stories and then I clicked edit for the story I wanted and got the error page and inserted content for property in the address of the page. Do you get an error when clicking on my stories?

No, on edit in my stories. Maybe I did the properties at the wrong time. Just a sec....

Okay, went to 'my stories'-- I am now here:
http://login.fanfict...ry_tab_list.php

So now I add the properties string to this address? Because I didn't try that. If I click on the story or edit, I get the error. Same if I type in the regular properties url ()]http://login.fanfiction.net/story/story_edit_property.php?storyid=[mynumber])

Don't add anything at the point when your stories are listed. Click edit on the story you want to add the chapter to and when that error message shows simply change the word property to content in the address of the page and hit enter. It should take you to the correct page, it works for me.

Oh, okay. I was making it harder than it had to be I think. Trying again....

Yay! You had me worried. LOL. I hope posting works okay. Like I said I haven't tried it *hugz*

Not only did it work, it worked instantly--that's new.

The update of your story is good enough. I don't want virtual me getting fat off cookies. LOL.

[errant_knight]

Heh, I decided to post thursday's chapter now instead of waiting--just in case... You never know, this might snowball.

[Elysium-Fic]

Oooh, this makes me very happy. Woot!

[Merilsell]

Woow finally it worked. I was beginning to tearing my hair out due to FF.net. Thanks Dre

*hurries to update*

Edit for typo.

I don't think there are any actually, although i haven't really read that many. Still, with 2000 of the FF.net fics being Cousland/Alistair romances and at least half of the rest one-shots or about the blight/post-origins/awakening, I'm tending to think there are no stories like that.

I remember Sarah1281 telling me once that she didn't remember any fic where the Warden even considers the prospect of abandoning Ferelden, and she's read/written a lot more of these things than me.

I haven't seen any either tho I did think it made for an interesting idea. Something along the lines of...after the Warden goes to Redcliffe  and deals with that problem and sees the state of the circle and then finds out about the urn, thinks there is no help from those quarters. Checks out the other options but the whole of Ferelden is a mess nor does it want to get over its petty issues. The Warden sees it as a lost cause and goes to meet with the Wardens in Orlias. I was thinking that Alistair wouldn't give up on Ferelden so would stay. Later the Warden returns to fight the Blight at the border and (when there is word of the Archdemons where abouts) goes deeper into Ferelden to find that Alistair was able to rally some support and even Loghain got with the program. Thusly the Warden has a lot of guilt and shame that they chose another path instead of sticking it out.

Or something like that.

That's actually very interesting, and I find the idea of the interactions between Alistair and that Warden intriguing--and probably pretty damn nasty.  Alistair might have gone after the Urn, himself, thinking that he both needed Eamon's haelp and that he owed it to him, so the plot could actually progress without the warden, allowing things to be a pretty much any stage when the warden returned. *Ponders very interesting idea*

An interesting idea indeed, in part because Alistair's explanation for why we shouldn't go to Orlais in the beginning doesn't really work very well.  The way things progress, there seems to be plenty of time to get to Orlais and back.  I can see somebody figuring the elves and mages are a lost cause and my canon warden was furious that Teagan sent me chasing a legend rather than pushing for a Landsmeet himself.  Giving up on Ferelden isn't that unreasonable a choice, especially for a dwarf or dalish elf PC, who don't really have any great connection with Ferelden.  Although my warden doesn't give up on Ferelden, when he's in the Deep Roads, he fears that he has effectively abandoned Ferelden, that it will be overwhelmed before he returns.

But I'm not sure how Alistair would get Loghain on his side.  I think he'd have a better shot at getting Anora to stage a coup (maybe with Howe's help?).  I think the split with the PC would harden him sufficiently to make him able to make some distasteful allies.  Which companions would go with the PC and which would stay with Alistair?
