This is getting annoying.

estiroseFanfiction.net currently won't let me access the 'edit' screen on any multi-chapter fics, nor will it let me add a new story. I'm hoping that I can edit my profile page when I get home to say "Hey, if you want to read 'Dreamt-of Call', go to AO3."
ETA: By googling "FanFiction.Net Error Type 2" I was able to find a way to add a chapter. (Apparently this is only affecting people with fics/writing fics in big fandoms like Power Rangers. Nobody in our fandom can easily post/edit fic right now.)
Here's what they think might work (though it only works if you also post in smaller fandoms), and I was able to at least add chapter 5 this way:
1. Write down the story number. For example, "Dreamt-of Call" is 6766835.
2. Go to an unaffected story. I went into my +Anima fic, but I could have used one of my Kamen Rider fics.
3. Go to the content/chapters tab.
4. Change everything after the story ID to the number of the story you want to edit, followed by /1/. For example, to get to the one for "Dreamt-of Call", I substituted "6766835/1/" for the number of the other story.
Another way to do it (if you only have stories in a popular fandom, or just find this easier than the above) is when you hit the error screen, edit the url so it reads "story_edit_content" instead of "story_edit_property".
This should bring you to the chapter edit screen, where you can add a chapter. Be sure to have the chapter you want to post ready to go. You will be able to return to it (I had to because I forgot to put the chapter title in), but you have to use the same convoluted route to get there.
Because this is only affecting some fandoms, there's supposedly a related back door for posting fics. I have not tried this one. If you post in an incorrect smaller fandom, you can then change things up to the correct fandom. Make sure everything is right, because once you change to the correct fandom, you cannot edit your information. (Plus, your alerts go out with the wrong fandom on them.)
If you do this, please, please, please, PLEASE do not post to +Anima. We get enough misplaced fic in the category, and I'm one of those people who gets to go and say "Yo, we're a legit manga, not a catch-all for the anime/manga category, move your fic!" to people who post in the wrong place.

Saluton! Se vi vidas la erarmesaĝon "FanFiction.Net Error Type 2", kiam vi deziras aldoni ĉapitrojn, vi tamen povas aldoni! Se vi redaktas la URL, forigas la vorto "property" kaj remetas kun "content" (de "story_edit_property" al "story_edit_content"). Vi povas nun aldoni ĉapitrojn.
Se vi vidas la erarmesaĝon "FanFiction.Net Error Type 2", kiam vi deziras aldoni novan rakonton, vi devas selekti alia kategorio. (Mi petas, ke vi ne selektas "+Anima".) Vi povas nun posteni rakonton. Post vi postenas vian rakonton, vi ŝanĝos la kategorion al la senerara kategorio.
