Fanfiction.net error type 2?!?

SOME ONE FIGURED OUT A SOLUTION! All you needed to do was change the word "properties" 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 POOF! It works!

Lol, I spent a whole day trying to figure this out, and then I thought it was because I swore in one story... and that fanfiction was cracking down. Lol. Anyways... the reason the URL thing is working for some people and not others is because of this funky guidelines thing... I don't know. But here is a very detailed method to change it.

First, go to the guidelines and make sure that you have accepted the "new" guidelines, for a couple of people it said they haven't, including myself, and you have to accept the guidelines, even if you already have once before. Weird, right?

Second, Go to my stories, but don't click anything yet.

DO NOT click "EDIT" for the story you want to update. But click the story's title.

Then in the URL bar. Only highlight the word "Property" and do it very carefully. If you accidentally highlight the slash or underscore right before it. It won't work

Then don't press delete, but start typing "Content". Make sure it's all UNDERSCORE.

Finally, click enter.

If that doesn't work, try again a few more times. It's worked for me and all my friends, so it should work for you. Hopefully, but this error thing is really weird. Let's hope Fanfictiong get's sorted out soon. Good luck.

I'm glad to here I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I've been promising my readers for about six months a new story and when I finally got it done, this happened. Whenever I try to email fanfiction, there is no way to. I always get another error message because I can't seem to email them. The thing is, it will let me post on other stories, just not the one specific category I want. Hopefully this will all be solved in a matter of days.

I'm having the same exact problem! I do Toy Story fanfics, by the way. :) But I searched on Yahoo Answers about this problem, and many people are having issues with it. I emailed the address provided, but apparently they refuse to answer. It's really annoying though, because I really want to update my stories! It seems to be happening worldwide. Fanfiction really needs to fix this problem. But I wouldn't worry about it too much, because if lots of people are having the problem, it's not a problem with your account. I suppose we just have to wait it out. D:

And it's not like you can't read fanfics, you just can't update. But one of my favorite authors keeps updating like everyday! It's not fair. DX One time yesterday I added one chapter to my story, but that was after I had logged out and logged back in, and that didn't work so I opened a new browser. Apparently I had some good luck that one time.

The story you're updating isn't a Harry Potter one, is it? I'm having the same problem on my HP fics, but for some reason my others are fine. I'm not exactly sure what the error message means but I think it's a problem that's affecting everyone, so don't worry - it's not just you! Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

yeah, I'm having this problem too -__- (at first it was just the story that I wanted to update, but after trying the other stories I have I got the same error). I tried emailing the error message, but nothing has happened so far after I sent it...

Hopefully they will fix it soon.. I was going to update my fic (it's the last chapter), but I'm really frustrated by this problem now. well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens..

I was having the same problem until I saw a post someone had made at the beginning of their story follow this and you will be updating in no time!

Alright in the URL of the error code it will say something like 'property' or 'properties'

e.g story_edit_property

Now change the 'property' or 'properties' to 'content'.

Happy Updating folks! ^-^

I've been having the same problem with my HP crossover stories. Its seems like the most popular fandoms are the ones that are being affected because there are some of them that don't have a lot of stories that work. Hopefully, the problem gets fixed soon.

Someone on the forums found a loophole :)

When you go to your stories in the publish section, click "edit" next to the story like you normally do. The error message will pop up, of course. But in the link bar, somewhere it will say "story_edit_property" Change the word "property" to "content" and you'll get right in! Trust me, it works! :)

Same as me too! But what's weird is that a story I wrote like 5-6 years ago will let me access chapters to post a new one, but the ones I just recently put up within the last 6mo will not! Odd!

Glad to know I'm not the only one either!

I emailed them twice, but nothing yet...

Alek

2011-03-20 07:29:26 UTC

Same here! I was freaking out about! I don't update often, so I finally told someone that I would update yesterday, but I couldn't! Error 2 or something. I feel kind of bad now, I hope they fix it soon.

I'm having the exact same problem, but with pokemon. I'd guess there's a server error; they happen sometimes. When this happens, it's a bad idea to constantly refresh the page and spam up a storm, so it's better to sleep on it and hope it's better tomorrow.

2011-03-20 18:20:06 UTC

The same here, too ... I post fanfic of Naruto ...

And last night I was trying to post an of Twilight, but i couldn't...

well, seems to be a temporary thing... just hope it's not time consuming.

I have to post 7 fanfics

Q.Q. ..

some mine, and some of friends ...

well, I think the "Guidelines" something had to appear to accept the terms of the contract, or something.

me, on "Guidelines" appears a date: "Version: 11-20-2008" and, below, appears written: "Please note FanFiction.Net does not accept explicit content, Fiction Rating: MA, and the rating is for reference only Presented ."

this is making me very confused ... I do not know if that appeared before.

I really hope it is resolved.

2011-03-19 16:40:52 UTC

glad that this isn't just me. not a HP fic; KHR fic for me. it's probably just the site; I googled this and came up with one of the help forums at ff.net: http://forum.fanfiction.net/topic/5145/1285474/1/

apparently, e-mailing support@fanfiction.com isn't very helpful. best to just wait it out, as they said in the link I put above. I've uploaded the chapter of my story and everything; the only thing that's not working is updating my story :T I could update it tomorrow, but this is just annoying...

2011-03-23 09:53:42 UTC

Thank goodness I am not alone. I am getting it on my Twilight stories though not Bones or General Hospital and it's driving me insane. I found out last night and still is the same today. I also emailed them twice so we'll see what happens

I'm having the same problems, whenever I try to update some of my InuYasha or Legend of Zelda stories. But the weird thing is, whenever I try to update my Rurouni Kenshin fic, its completely fine.

2011-03-22 23:05:52 UTC

It hasn't been working for me either since Saturday but I tried changing the word in the URL and I got it to work. No idea why but at least I could update.

2011-03-22 16:41:36 UTC

Yeah, found the answer. The error thing link is something like this right?

http://login.fanfiction.net/story/story_edit_property.php?storyid=6824469/1/

Change property -> content. it works

I wanted to update today for AAML: Diamond and Pearl version's one year anniversary, but that stupid glitch ruined that idea. I'm hoping that they fix it before the official fanfiction date changes to the 21st, even if it means I have to stay up until 3 in the morning...my Pokeshipping fic just can't be robbed now. >_<

2011-03-20 00:16:09 UTC

Same problem..with PJO...I emailed support@fanfiction.com....also my friend had the same problem..we both decided to just wait for tomorrow :/ and I GOTTA UPDATE MY STORY IM A MUTE PJO STORY! THEY OGTTA HURRY UP BEFORE I GO LOCO IN NOGGIN!

2011-03-22 04:24:03 UTC

I am having the same issue. It's been happening to me for like 3 days now. I already e-mailed them twice...but it hasn't been fixed yet, unfortunately.

I guess we'll just have to wait it out...shouldn't be down too long. I hope.

I tried the changing the URL thing and it didn't work for me.

Same here. But with Hetalia.

Hopefully it's just a site error. A long one, admittedly, if you tried posting five hours ago... :C

ETA: That content thing someone suggested below? Worked for me. It should probably work for all of us. So thank you person!! x)

I have the same problem as well. Though, being on FanFiction for three... four years, this is natural. The site is probably updating some stuff.

2011-03-20 14:04:13 UTC

same problem here,except with ATLA and DBZ, i'm happy i'm not the only one though, but it's getting irritating now and i've e-mailed three times! i promised an update by saturday and i've got another story to update i hate disappointing fans, but what else can i do?

Damian Hayden

2011-03-21 20:13:19 UTC

What?! You too?! I can't write anything new either and it's killing me.

A fellow author said to put content in place of property in place of the URL but I tried that and It's not working.

BTW I'm Raptorcloak of fanfiction.

2011-03-20 11:46:12 UTC

Pokemon doesn't work either. Obviously its the entire site, and there are several people complaining about it. FF.net has no choice but to fix the problem with so many people pissed about it.

2011-03-22 10:42:40 UTC

I am having problems updating my HP story too!! Glad to know it's not just me!

2011-03-19 17:08:38 UTC

I'm Havin' the same prob!! And myy stories are about Supernatural and Glee, and none of their works!!

2011-03-21 18:27:03 UTC

yeeeep joining the party here - it's not just you.. i've been trying to post a NEW story under phoenix wright and it hasn't been working for the last two days ):

?

2011-03-22 19:16:21 UTC

I think it might be a hacker. I've had a problem similar to this before, and it turned out to be a hacking problem.

?

2011-03-20 19:42:43 UTC

Im with you! I freaked out until i read that i wasnt alone! I hate not being able to update!

Sasuke

2011-03-22 07:43:13 UTC

Same thing is happening to me... :(

I'm trying to post a new Naruto story and it's not WORKING!!

How long is it going to be like this??? Ugh!

It's a lag monster!! T___T

The Half-Blood

2011-03-20 01:47:06 UTC

i hope the fix it! and SOON. mine is a PJO story.

maybe its jsut a temporary glitch? because apparently a LOT of people have this problem. THEY'D BETTER FIX IT AND FAST!

?

2011-03-20 08:26:26 UTC

Yeah, me too. It sucks, but I think they will resolve it in a matter of days. Don't worry though, it shouldn't take too much time. Nice to know it's not just me. :)

2011-03-20 00:48:40 UTC

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I was getting rather worried... orz Hopefully, this will get sorted out soon.

2011-03-20 23:27:36 UTC

I've been trying since yesterday! I'm so glad it's not just me.

Guess we're gonna have to wait.. :L

2011-03-19 15:34:53 UTC

2011-03-19 14:18:09 UTC

I'm having this problem, too. :( I'm glad it's not just me. Hopefully they'll sort it out soon.

2011-03-20 19:13:00 UTC

I tried today and am having the exact problem too.....GRRR

2011-03-20 04:29:58 UTC

That thing is happening with me too. T_T what the hell is happening? hope they fix it fast....
