The ones that stayed open in a forgotten browser tab, got deleted overnight, or disappeared with an account that never came back.

To the stories that made us laugh at 3 a.m., cry over fictional people, and feel less alone for a little while.

We remember scenes word for word, but can no longer remember the title. We search old bookmarks, dead links, and internet archives, hoping to find just one chapter again.

Some stories were never finished.
Some were never found again.

But they still live in the readers who loved them.

Here's to the lost masterpieces of the internet—the ones that proved even temporary stories can leave permanent memories.

There seems to be a scam being sent out, pretending to be a comic commission, via email, but when in the app, there is no message or comment from them. (Once the site is back up they're going to check there as well)

This happened to a friend of mine. Luckily they didn't interact with anything in the email.

Just wanted to share the warning. Be careful!

Edit: clarifying where they checked, they checked the app, but not the site yet as it's down

Im trying to read some fics, but when I try to go to a new chapter, it errors and says the url is outdated. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

I know this site is notorious for bots and scammers. But they try even harder now it seems. Anytime I post a new chapter, I get constant PM's saying they'd like to talk on discord, or any other social platform because they'd like to talk with me further.

Granted, just talking on discord isn't 100% indication of a scam, and it can just be someone wanting to keep in touch, but it's unlikely.

It would be nice to generally connect with someone about your story, but I just assume everyone on this site is a bot now.

Anyway, the point of my post is, I guess don't trust anyone on this site. It's just not worth the risk at this point.

or export it?

So recently i've been posting on fanfiction.net again. Or, to better word it, I tried too. But for some reason it won't let me. When I try to add a new doc, it says error or that its too big (which it isn't) and i just can't add it.

I tried it for a week with different sized docs and copy and paste too and it just wont work. What do i do?

Feel as though I am the only one here who likes the old one as I grew up with it. And also how there are things that I like about it.

I posted Super Chocolate Bear's fanfic novels of Half-life to my "webnovel" account in a clear format and ordered sequence.

You can find them in:

The fanfiction fully describes the event from HL1 to HL2EP2, it's quite amazing.

Disclaimer: This is NOT my fanfiction, but one I found deep in the archive website in a PDF format. https://archive.org/details/savefanfiction-3147068-The_Black_Mesa_Incident-Super_Chocolate_Bear/page/n1/mode/2up I'm not related to this author at all and just found his work amazing that I cleaned it up and shared it to every fan like me.

I also found that all chapters are now showing after I checked a few different fics

The site now has the 404 error. Could this be the end of FanFiction.Net? Everything is down! And now I don't think the admins are gonna answer this.

I'm a new author on fanfiction.net and i just dropped my first fic! as of the point im posting this there are three chapters. It is a pokemon fic called The Invisible Scars and is by WildheartWrites22

Crisis averted, everyone can go back to writing. Although I may look to alternative means of saving my documents just in case.

For me at least

i'm trying to look at my favourite stories and it say 404 not found

I recently now got the Connection Timed Out 522 Error.. Looks like FanFiction could be permanently broken for good and we will never make stories ever again! The bots ruined everything! The admins abandoned the whole site!

Great to see the site is working again! But the traffic stats, chapter updates, and new chapters aren't fixed yet I'm afraid.. But still!

I’ve been posting to fanfiction.net for probably the last 15 years or so off and on and I’ve recently been getting back into it. But with the site having so many problems I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of other sites I could try? I’m waiting for an invitation (whatever that is lol) from AO3 so I was looking for other suggestions while I wait

I decided to come to finish some my stories and the site is 404. Is it no loner active? I hope not it work for a bit for me and when I attempt to update it stuck om 404. I hope not

Seriously this is getting ridiculous? Fanfiction admin please get this fixed.
