I updated today, not last Sunday

I was able to log on this morning and update my story. However, for some reason, fanfiction.net seems to be under the impression that I updated my story on April 3rd. That was the day I posted chapter four. Today, I posted chapter five. The new chapter is there, and can be read. But, no one will see it, because my story didn't move up the list of stories. And no alerts went out. And I know I have people waiting for the update. But how in the world are they supposed to know that I posted it?!

And I know other people have had their stories go through correctly, because I was able to read the newest chapter in one of the stories I'm following, and that new chapter was posted this afternoon.

At this point, I'd consder going to another archive, but I don't feel comfortable posting my stories anywhere else. And, I wouldn't even know where else to post them.

ETA: As of this morning (4/13/11), my story has finally shown up where it's supposed to be.

AO3 is nice because it allows almost everything. It allows parodies that AFF won't allow, it allows long author's notes that AFF won't allow, it allows underage that isn't allowed on FFN (that's where I put my underage making-out fic, so as to not break FFN's rules), it allows real person fic, it allows second-person, and as far as I know it allows script format.

I personally use AO3 as a place to put fics that would break rules elsewhere and as a back-up for fics that also exist on one or more other archives.

Other than fics that would break rules elsewhere, I wouldn't upload fics to AO3 alone because it is still small and doesn't have that many reviews. Maybe if it gets bigger I might do that someday.

But putting fics in multiple places means more people can read it, and I tend to get a few more reviews that way, hitting different audiences.

NO STATS

Well, I'm getting alerts and reviews on FF, but no stats for profile or stories. After updating last night.

Otherwise business as usual on FF.net.

Stats on FF.net are definitely down.

Yay I am not alone. Boo, it is not working.
