What happened to the latest chapters of New Dogs on Fanfiction.net and a few other things

-- I've been trying to update New Dogs on Fanfiction.net, but the struggle is real. My Microsoft Office license expired a month or so ago, but since I've switched to using Google Docs to write stuff, it doesn't really matter. Plus Google Docs is actually free. Back when I did have Microsoft Office, it was just simply a matter of changing the .docx file into a .doc document under the "save as" field and then uploading it to the site, but the system's so finicky that updating multichapter fics there is a chore now. I keep getting error messages even though I've tried uploading new chapters as a .rtf or copy and pasting it. C&P did work, but then when I moved on to the next step, the new document wasn't there. But I was able to post Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions just fine.

I still have lots of praise for FF.net and think it's a viable source for reading and posting fanfic, but they make it hard because the site has gotten so janky at this point. I mean, on my end the sixth chapter of New Dogs doesn't even come up. I just get an error message. I saw a lot of people saying just just keep hitting "enter" until FF.net accepts your story, but I can't continuously do that because of issues with my hands.

-- Currently working on The Stranger and A Horse Of A Different Color.

-- So now that that one-shot is done, the next one will be much lighter in tone. I honestly don't know when I'm going to get around to writing up the notes for Hell is Paved. I have a lot to say about the topic of xenofiction and how the subject of predator/prey dynamic has been handled in animal-centric worlds.

-- The one bad thing about choosing not to engage in fan communities means you have no way of finding out if somebody out there might've saved some fan art or a fanfic that you really love but was taken, because you have no clue who's safe to approach and who isn't. At this point, any cool fic or art gets saved to a flash drive/cloud/etc.
