404 Not found

von_Karlsberg · Apr 8, 2026

I get this result if I try to open the page to one of my favorite stories that I am currently reading.

If I search for it, I get no results, and if I try to open it via the reading list, all I get is that:
"404
Sorry, the page you visited does not exist.
It may be that the access link is wrong or the file does not exist"

But I am still able to open the table of contents, only that I can not read any of the chapters, and get the same result.
So please help, I am desperate!

It may be potentially deleted due to being a translation since these were banned. Do you have the name of the fic?

Look To the Stars (Game of Thrones x Star Wars). And deleted stories look different in my reading list. There is written "deleted" in their Titles. And as I said, I am still able to access the table of contents, but by deleted Stories, this is not possible

Yeah, I searched the name and it exists in multiple platforms including Spacebattles, FFN dot net and more. I think because it's in multiple sites and probably in webnovel too (along with it being a fanfic) that it got deleted, or maybe the author decided to delete it?? you can just look at it in the other sites.

Yes, thank you. I found and it seems the original author has written it here, too. I at least found his profile here and found that he commented on the novel.
And I am sure he did not delete his novel here, as that would look completely different, and I would not have access to the table of contents. It is clearly a problem with this website.
I uploaded two screenshots: how a deleted novel looks and what this novel looks like.

Monetizing fanfictions are not allowed here. Tony will 404 your story.

If you can open the table of contents, but you can't open the chapters through your reading list, the author most likely deleted the work after he found out SH no longer tolerates monetization on fanfictions.

In most cases, Tony is content to let the automatic scrubber remove links. If it's removed, it's either due to the above, or the author was going out of his way to avoid rules. Or it was a translation. But since the table of contents is still there, I assume it's the author's own doing.

Edit: nevermind, checked the screenshots. Yes, it would look different if the author deleted either the novel or all of the chapters. Must have been done from the side of the site, but certainly due to monetization.

If it still shows chapters on your reading list, it got 404'd by Tony (and his bot).
If it shows deleted on your reading list it was done by the author.

Yeah, I only checked the screenshots after posting that.

I remember this one, was a fanfiction. Had obscured "p@tre_n" links everywhere, so no wonder it was taken down.
That's just being "smart" and trying to bypass the automatic removal system. Not allowed.

Funny enough, the one that only obscured it with "pa treon" had their story hidden, but wasn't banned.
The ones obscuring it with p@treon have mostly been banned… probably because it's impossible for that to not be intentional.

It's harsh but fair.

Give everyone 1 warning and hide their stories, but if they still do not act, bye-bye.

This only happened to people who use these fake links.

I still have hundreds of Patreon links in my story that got removed, so you can't even argue that you can't edit hundreds or thousands of chapters. This is only about intentionally fucking around. They gambled and lost.
