So the signin thing has been fixed since yesterday, but...not getting review notifications.

Even the hit/visitor stats are delayed, I think: I go to bed around about the time their 'day' closes, thinking I got x number of hits/visitors, then this morning I wake up and surprise! More hits and visitors have been mysteriously added to the previous day's total. Perhaps your review notices are being similarly held up, errant. . .?

Possibly. My review from yesterday still hasn't arrived. I'm definately getting fewer hits this week, but I don't know if that's because more people are going to the story on LJ or if there's a problem. That's the one down side to purposely sending readers away from FF to a site with no stats. It's really hard to judge readership.

Emails are screwed up, not just delayed. I posted a one-shot last night and got six reviews, but three notices. And not the three oldest.

Grrr. Argh. FFn is borked again. I'm getting alert updates in my email. Then FFn is pretending these links aren't real.

FFn: "Look! New chapters to read!"
Me: "YAY!" *clicks link*
FFn: "HA! HAha! Just kidding. We're broken. Fell for it again? Got your hopes up, did you?"
Me: Ffffffffffffffffffff.

Yeah...I updated as I told you before....and now the chapter doesn't show up after an hour or so. It is saved in its system, as I can view it in live-preview...but that doesn't help my readers much who clicked the link in the hopes of said chapter. Le sigh.

Let's hope it is just SLOW today...that would be an improvement, actually.

^^ @Merilsell: I just had inquartata's exact experience while trying to read your latest chapter. Really, ff.net? Gaah. . .

Argh...sorry. >.<

I will make a mirror for my chaps in the future, I guess. It is better that way, but ff.net is the best way to reach people after all...when it IS working, however.

Which, lately, isn't often. It's like someone sneezes in the vague direction of their servers, and they break.

All the more reason to move to AO3. (I've got invites if anyone needs them). I'm seriously pimping the hell out of that place since ffnet has become as reliable as a crackhead on a bad day.

I'd migrate everything to AO3 if it let me post more than one chapter per story. >_<

I do have a story that's currently only visible on AO3 though. FF.net screwed its exclusivity on my one-shots.

If someone offered them stats-tracking code like they have on ff.net, I bet people would swarm that ship. Vive le open source!

Go to edit story and check the box that says "this work has multiple chapters."
Now when you see your list of stories next to edit will be a button that says "add chapter."

I saw that, but my setup apparently gives me a 404 error when I try to post the new chapter. I'm able to preview and save the draft, but no posting for me. T_T

Is the box that says chapter 1 of (blank) set to a lower number than your new chapter would be? I can see that screwing with a line of code.  I just made mine a question mark, it works fine now.  All 100 chapters of AOA posted.

...You see, this is why I have such a hard time catching up with all this fanfic. ;P

I'll try the question mark thing. Maybe that might help...

Edit: I don't think the questionmark did much for me besides allowing for a different number of chapters, because my main problem was my outdated browser. AO3 mass migration has begun. :)

*reads Lupus' Falling* :crying: You're mean, you and BioWare. Killing Bethany. Good story, of course. Can already tell the differences in Mal!Anders and Mags!Anders. Still...

I love the mage class in DA2, but hate playing through the prolgue and loosing Bethany.

I wonder if they're artificially inflating the stats at ff.net as a way of retaining authors while the reviews are borked?
*ponders conspiracy theory thoughts*
*Glares at cat in an accusing manner*
*broods*
*eats Ghiradelli chocolate square*
*pets cat*
*feels better*

Sorry!  Can't be avoided, though... it's a sad story! 
I'm almost desensitized to killing Bethany now since I play mage so much.  I really like Carver, though.

I admit, it's kind of fun writing the same character in two wildly different ways.  It would feel... odd to write old!Anders with Hawke.  In my mind that version of him belongs to Maggie.  I can read other Anders fics, but WRITING that Anders with someone else seems wrong.

I have deleted my newest chapter now again...as it still does not show up after 9 hours. Will try later again, I guess.

Quick, it's working! (FFn)

I'm also on AO3, I just keep screwing up the import process from FFn every time I try. I'll just c/p stuff instead later today.
