Error During Posting?

[1smut_princess]

I saw someone else had said that they'd been havin' issues updatin' stories on FanFiction.net, and I was wondering if anyone else has been havin' the same issue? And if so, have they received any explanation?

EDIT:
elysium_fic had a solution for the updating, and scarylady was kind enough to inform me of it. (Just postin' this here so that in case others have an issue updatin' their stories, they got a solution listed directly in a post, rather than placed in comments)
....When you get the error trying to post to ff.net, change the word "property" in the URL to "content" and you should be able to post. So sayeth elysium_fic, and there's testamony to it workin' on the updatin' of content, if not addin' new content.

Thanks go to both of ya'll!

....Now if someone can just get the site to actually work like it's supposed to....


EDIT Part Duex:
The content editin' solution doesn't apply to changin' the status of the story or the rating. I just tried to upgrade A Guild-ed Cage, but then received the error message. Bah!

The solution for updating existing stories is here: http://peopleofthedas.dreamwidth.org/313646.html?thread=4831790#cmt4831790

But I'm not aware of any solution for posting new stories :(

[1smut_princess]

Well, fortunately I'm not startin' any new stories, but that leaves others out in the cold. Poo and fiddlesticks with monkey chocolate brownie balls on the side! Thank you, as I'm rather late updatin' Guild-ed and Murder on there. :megaglomp:

Do you have a link to your stories on FF.net, Princess? I would like it if you do!

[1smut_princess]

But I primarily post here, I only post there because of archiving stuff, and makin' it easier for the masses to find their way over here... eventually. Like, Guild-ed is two chapters behind what is posted here, and Murder I think is three....? Primarily I post there as an afterthought.

But you have a lot of old stuff I haven't read!

[1smut_princess]

In a very different fandom... which was all unbeta'd and is ooooold... and primarily unfinished.... Otherwise all my DAO stuff is here.

[dalishstorm]

Having this too, unable to post new stuff... it gives me a sad.

[zute]

It does give me a handy excuse for not updating my story...

:schnortle: Get on a postin' schedule! One chapter every two weeks, belive it or not, it helps alot. Tryin' to pressure yourself into one chapter a week doesn't work, but if you do the one every two weeks, you wind up with a nice buffer pretty quickly.... (I've got a 6 chapter buffer on Murder, and a three chapter on Guild-ed :toots own horn: Wooot!)

[scarylady]

One chapter a week works if you limit yourself to writing one major fic at once. I set off on two a week with T&S but that was too punishing. One a week is 3-5k-ish for most people, which is only a problem when you hit a vital plot moment and freeze. *knows all about that right now*

[1smut_princess]

Heh yeah. Though for me, the two week thing usually allows me to write 4-6 chapters usually at about 6-10thousand words per chappie.....But my brain's broken and does that whole compulsive writin' thing.

[scarylady]

*nods* I'm the exact opposite and cannot ever turn off my internal editor. So my writing trickles out slooowly, but in its final form, requiring nothing more than a single read-through from b with a red pen for the occasional comma crime.

I find this a fair trade-off, as editing would eat my soul one piece at a time.

[1smut_princess]

I find the editor in my head doesn't work for grammatical and spelling issues, but content is where it excels. I may not remember what a past participle is or how it's to be used, but I can usually come up with justifications for the use of most any word, or find a replacement, or build a world up from scratch. The only issue with that is, is that I have a constant running dialog in my head gibbering stories, characterizations, what if's, how's, why's and possibilities no matter how much I need the sleep. Like say, right now....It's Sat at 8am, and I've been up since 4am Friday mornin'....

[1smut_princess]

At least I'm managin' to keep the nugs from myself at the moment. :looks around warily: Which means I don't hafta worry 'bout tryin' to figure out wtf I hafta do to get FFN to work. The only nug waitin' in the wings is the Zev POV for bellaknoti's M.O.O.D. story. But with the two massive p.o.s' I've got goin' on right now, I can't split the attention.

:gives chocolate and pets: But I feels your sads.

[1smut_princess]

:glomps:Have my fic babies! Now the last questions - has anyone figured out why this shit's happenin'?

[1smut_princess]

:tugs on pig tails in frustration: Dammit! I just managed to get that song outta my head some point in the last few hours! GAH! Now all I can think is GZ paradin' around singin' "Sweet Transvestite". Fuck!

I used Dragon Rage, so my readers eyes will probably just gloss past it when it lands in their inboxes :)

When I came back to edit it, though... I cannot believe that they don't have Fenris as a character option yet. How lazy is that?
