Story URLs?

Generally, that problem is caused by the author uploading extended characters in a different encoding than utf8--usually Windows-1252.

They are all from ao3, haven't tested it elsewhere.

EDIT: Tried it a couple more times without changing anything and the last time 2 stories updated. I am not sure if the rest have new chapters or not, but the comment on the log is still "'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc1 in position 29: invalid start byte" and not that it already contains x chapters.
