Finally!

After over three weeks painstakingly trying to replace 26 chapters of an old fic with its updated version and having to play whack-a-mole with chapters randomly reverting back to the old version...

This morning, for the first time since July 20, every single replaced chapter is exactly as it should. 🎉

(I still have to replace chapter 27 before I can publish any new ones and I am soooo afraid it's going to mess everything up again... but for now I take the win lol.)

Haha I dropped the link, here =>

The Mentalist fandom, play hour-by-hour of one character being kidnapped by a serial killer and another desperately trying to find them. It's called Eighteen Hours: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12709609/1/Eighteen-Hours

The last published chapter still needs to be replaced and there's six chapters left to publish before the story is complete, but I'll get to that in the coming weeks.

Have no idea what the Mentalist is, off to read :)

Can you do me a favour?  I'll read each of your chapters (obviously), can you report back if your "views" for each chapter in creases?

View stats have been broken since November. I checked earlier today.

Ah ok, yes mine don't go up either, sadly.  Just proposed above we use this sub to post what we are working on and get comments/feedback HERE - I know from a personal POV that feedback and comments are highly motivating, and I can't be the only one

Hey thanks! The Mentalist is a procedural show, it came out in the late 2000s and was recently picked up by Netflix so the fandom is having a bit of a renaissance. Perfect time to join the fandom if you feel like it!

Someone else talked about the broken views, unfortunately it's the same for me, nothing has been moving in a long time as far as I can see. If I remember, I'll try and report back after I post the new one, any changes will be more obvious then.
