Unfortunately, it's not completed yet, I have some confusing problems with getting Fandom from the AO3 link and it seems that the script is quite slow at the moment. I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about that, but I will try.   So, first things first, what are the changes generally from the previous when thinking about how the script works? - Mature, Explicit and Not Rated fanfics have gotten new HTML at some point. At least I think so, since the script has worked before that well for all open fics. New HTML has only **the** **date of the last update/completed**. It means that these fanfics will not have a Published date. - Since I am going to publish the complete bug fix hopefully within the next two weeks, the script has only **one** Fetch Data script that has fandoms mentioned in the tags. This is just to make my work easier at the moment. :) - The script doesn't fetch **Fandom **at the moment. This is the main thing I'm going to fix with the next update. I'm pretty sure the fault lies in me with this as I couldn't get it to work, but a bit more time will help. - **Popup when the fanfic is** **locked!** This is a really good thing. I've got a message a few times that the script didn't do anything and then soon afterwards "Whoops, it was actually locked". Now that popup will tell you that the fic is locked and you have to fill in the information manually. ![Screenshot 2025-02-23 205359](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-02-23%20205359.png?width=424&height=163&name=Screenshot%202025-02-23%20205359.png)   - Lower rating fics are handled the same as previously, no changes there.   #### How to fix the script?   To make everything easier, I have downloaded the whole script to Google Drive where you can copy the whole code and replace the old code with it.   1. Open your file. 2. Choose Extensions > Apps Script from the top. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png.png?width=980&height=335&name=image-png.png) It opens a new window which can be a bit overwhelming at first. 3. Choose custom menu.gs from the left side panel. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=524&height=218&name=image-png-1.png) 4. Delete everything from that script. 5. Go to Google Drive through [this link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aDjOqu3cANdRl33itOBi14W6DqtzSc_a/view?usp=sharing). Copy everything. (F.e. CTRL/CMD + A and then CTRL/CMD + C) 6. Go back to the tab where you have the script open. Paste the new content. 7. Save the script as shown in the picture below. ![](https://www.huurreauthor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-2.png?width=575&height=425&name=image-png-2.png) 8. Close the tab and update the file page. The Fanfiction Management menu might take a few minutes to appear.   The script has been updated also to public Log files, so you can always make a copy of it for yourself and copy & paste all the old content from the old file. However, since I'm most likely releasing version 2.1 within the next few weeks, you might want to wait for it. With the new version release I recommend strongly making a new copy and I will not give out instructions to make edits other than the complete fix for this script. If everything goes as planned, there will be a few new features I've been either working on already since before the release of 2.0 or someone has requested it within these first two months.
