Hi,
I recently made a change to a fanfic I had already submitted to the site. I logged in, deleted the old file, and submitted the modified file with the same settings. When I went to the fanfic archive and looked it up, I saw that the old file was still there--the changes hadn't taken effect.
Maybe I'm not supposed to change a fanfic after I've submitted it to the archive. The fanfic in question is "Freaky Fry Day" in the Futurama section. I originally put in some references to a relatively unfamiliar alien race called the Arcturans, but then I remembered that Leela was trained in Arcturan kung-fu ("Raging Bender"). So I tried to change "Arcturans" to something else, but it's not letting me.

Re: Tried to delete/replace a fanfic
Ahh, a bug. Joy. I'll have to see about fixing it later in the week, I'm really swamped at the moment.
Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.

At least help DC to replace it manually... fixing a bug can take a while. I should know

It's not a big priority, at least not until I finish the sequel to Freaky Fry Day.

Which you have now done.
Find Me, A poem by Chris Dominowski.
If I am lost, and you do not care, will the search ever be fair?
Why am I here? What should I do?
The answer to this, I once knew.
Why should I be found if I always must hide?
I have tried so hard, my soul has died.
Over the years, In fear I have drowned. It is finally clear; I cannot be found.
Human, a poem by Chris dominowski
I wear sunglasses at night, but I carry a flashlight.
I turn from the flame, but stare at the ashes.
I walk into the woods, and never touch the trail.
I always look at my calander, but do not care what day it is.
I am the mixture of light and darkness; I am human.

Sometimes I feel like dressing up my Gaia avatar.
Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.
Re: Tried to delete/replace a fanfic
The bug is fixed in my development version already. I meant that I'm swamped, so I can't even take the time to replace it manually until later in the week.

Ok, I've managed to squeeze a few minutes in and am deleting the old version for you. Sorry about the delay.

Re: Tried to delete/replace a fanfic
I posted the new version of Freaky Fry Day, but now when I try to bring it up in the gallery, it tells me, "No input file specified." This in spite of the fact that the input file name appears when I list files in the UserCP.
Re: Tried to delete/replace a fanfic
Fixed.
The RTF parser is still very unstable. If you get any more problems just drop me a line.

Re: Tried to delete/replace a fanfic
I just tried to re-upload Freaky Fry Day to fix a typo. Once again it's telling me, "No input file specified", when I try to bring it up in the gallery.
Re: Tried to delete/replace a fanfic
I've switched to a different parser, so everything should be working fine now.
