EW, TJ -- Do I just keep trying to post at different times or do I need to retype the material? Any suggestions?


I haven't had it give me problems after part of the fic was up. But, then again, I usually don't post multi-chapter work,...I'd go on and try posting the rest from time to time -- I haven't had the site say that something was posted & then not post it.

I tried TJ's brute force method and got it to accept the rest of Crashed, but it was exactly like she describes here - one word seemed to be derailing the entire chapter from posting. The rest of the chapters were fine.

It made me think of Gatchfanfic as a very surly beta reader. No, you can't post until you fix that, and I'm not going to tell you what that is. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!

That sounds like something in the script went buggy and it is wrongly picking up story text as script.

I got the same error, Springie, but only when I tried to post chapter 3. I think Ame's assessment above is likely correct. There's some word or phrase in there that's causing the problem, but you can't find it without posting the story a chunk at a time, hitting preview, and seeing if it takes it. I think I finally changed one word in mine and it went through. No idea why that one word caused it to choke.

OK, so I need to find the offending word, huh? I'll try that sometime. Thanks!

Heyla...

Which word was removed? Were there any odd characters embedded?

Seems you may have accidentally invoked a system command, and it hiccuped...

Sometime in my future is a review of the site with Julieann and see what can be tweaked without losing the content.... Sometime after I finish teaching four courses and working a full time job and... Smile Gotta fit in some fanart sometime too...

Hi Boeke:

I don't think it should have had any odd characters embedded - I tried moving it from Pages to Notes. The whole section had lots of ellipses, but I don't think that was the problem either. This was the section that caused the error for me:

The vague description brought everything back to Jason: his teammates having the flu, Anderson dispatching Mark and him on this ridiculous excuse for a mission, the firefight with the Spectrans, a spectacular crash, immense pain, a reluctant admission to Mark that he didn't feel so good ...

The word was "having", which I changed to "catching." For reasons unknown to me, that seemed to help.

Thanks for looking into it, Boeke! I know you are busy. But check out the new Gatch fan art challenge that Springie started! I may have to attempt that one - very intimidating with so many great artists here.

FWIW, a few weeks ago, I discovered a typo in one of my pieces on GFF, and I got the same error when I tried to fix it. I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but I just thought I would put it out there.

Further supporting my theory that Gatchfanfic is a heartless, nit-picky beta reader.

It has to be a Galactor plot ...

That's the one keep getting. I've tried posting the last chapter of The Hour Glass, parts of it, one sentence of it. I tried posting it as a new fic. Doesn't seems matter.

I wonder if the list of authors has become corrupted.

Julie - How the heck did you figure out it was the word having?

Julie, I'm glad you were able to post. I think the word that was causing me problems was 'enjoying', IIRC. It was just the one chapter. All of the other chapters were able to post. I copied and pasted the text into the box, rather than uploading the file.

Becky - I narrowed it down to one paragraph and then I just tried substituting words. I have no idea where the "real" problem was, but it worked after I made that change.

Shrug

There's times when being OCD - or CDO, as EW pointed out - has its merits!

I see some of you have been able to post, so I tried again. With 3 different chapters from 3 different stories and Nessie. I still get the Forbidden error. Sniffle

Yeah, I'm having major difficulties posting the Bradbury's jar fic. I'm at a point where it's not even accepting punctuation following a particular word!

I haven't tried to post at Gatchfanfic in a while, so I tried again and I'm still getting that error.

I got the bright idea to create a new membership as Becky Rock 2, but it gave me that error when I tried that too. I'm still basically locked out, so I'm going to start posting everything over at fanfiction.net.
