    I notice some WIP threads where Xion (bot) posts notices when the story gets an update on its hosting site, e.g. FFN or AO3. I couldn't find info anywhere about how to request such updates: is there a way to do it? From a technical standpoint I'd be interested to know how Xion/Scryer manages to even notice updates on FFN, which involves dealing with a Cloudflare captcha. I know that Fichub goes to considerable lengths to work around that captcha. On AO3 there is no captcha, so tracking is easier. Thanks.

    Pretty sure it got borked whenever the captcha got implemented. I'm notsure if Raven's done anything to mitigate that or even had time to. IIRC, Xion reads Scryer, and then posts based on there. So if one isn't updating the other isn't.
