I Can´t Edit a Chapter of My Fic

[Silver Lady]

Last month, when I updated the chapter 6 of my fanfic Untamed, the text lost all its spaces and became a confusing block.

I couldn´t figure out how to edit it, then.

Last night, I found out in the FAQ how to edit it - however, when I go to the author´s pannel, and click on Stories, nothing happens. I just can´t select my fanfic to update the chapter. Is that some kind of bug?

(I could update chapter 7 without any problems, though)

Hi,

Just a couple of things. I know that using the Author Panel dropdown takes you to the same place as the Control Panel link in the new archive profiles, but where are you getting a link marked "Stories"? What you SHOULD get is an expanded menu on the left hand of your screen, with links below each subdomain. In your case, you would go to Anime2, and click "Edit" to be brought to the dropdown fields to select the story title and action (Edit Chapter is what you need). Then you will be brought to the Rich Text Editor page, and can select the chapter to edit.

That takes me to the second thing. How did you post that chapter? It looks like you have no text containers at all. We have a few options on how to post a story, and I personally use the Copy from Word method. This preserves all the formatting I created offline, like paragraphs and italics.

If you uploaded a .txt file, you need to make sure you have the proper html tags. This FAQ explains it nicely: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/19903-how-to-add-a-chapter/

If you used WordPad to write the chapter, then read this FAQ: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/28736-how-to-add-a-wordpad-document-and-avoid-the-wall-o-text-when-using-rte/

I hope this helps!
