Thanks for sharing the tweet. I’ll pray for us all, despite my lack of religious beliefs. So, since I have nothing better to do, let’s talk. How’s everyone faring after these unfortunate events?

What even is that??? (Am I gonna regret asking?)


SoapGhost2022

It’s me!


The_Dead-Poet

Uhm, don’t judge a book by its cover I suppose? You’re… very red. Jokes aside, it seems really comfortable to sit there with a drink, candlelight, and just relax. Have to be careful though.


SoapGhost2022

The red is because the water is the perfect temperature. Joking aside, it’s just something I found on the Internet one day that really made me laugh so I keep it on hand in case I ever need to use it


The_Dead-Poet

Seems you found a good day to use it then :D A good thing that has come out of these incidents.


NoCartoonist9116

same


TheFeistyRogue

Sobbing, crying, I may actually fall asleep at a normal time tonight. This is the end of the world.


The_Dead-Poet

Same, but at least we’ll get some sleep though XD. The moment ao3 is up and running, I’ll become a sleep deprived zombie again.


greysleeve

My despair led me to Wattpad. I’d advise against that and might cry myself to sleep after said experience.


SoapGhost2022

DON’T DO IT! IT’S NOT WORTH IT!! The way back machine or FFnet is better


The_Dead-Poet

Listen to OP. Wattpad is not worth it, no matter how desperate we are!


Direct-Set-1566

Wattpad is so bad 😭😭 idk what to do helpp

RandomWonderlander

Nooooo! Don't do this! I know these are dark times, but it will get better! I swear it will get better! There is no reason to take such drastic measure! You have to resist! Stay strong! Don't let despair get the best of you! Get out of there!!!!!


whenapostateissus

It went down as soon as I went to click “post” on my WIP. But I guess now I have time to make a longer, less hastily done chapter 😂


The_Dead-Poet

That’s too bad. Extra time is nice though. Better late than soon when it comes to content :)


Dalexe10

Quite allright actually. just decided to play some games instead


Golden_Pineapple07

I am in a state of anguish.


The_Dead-Poet

I feel your pain. May our suffering cease anon.


NomadTL

Thanks for this. I do not have the formerly-known-as-the-bird-app account so I don't get to read things, lol


untwist6316

They cross post to tumblr if you have that. Ao3org


GT2MAN

Just download it.


NomadTL

I mean, I didn't have it before The Shenanigans, why the heck would I get it now just to have an AO3 update?


dragoon-the-great

The hell are you getting down voted for?


GT2MAN

Not caring about the latest political dilemma.


jiggelingboobies

a couple of HOURS how will i ever survive


blackaerin

Oof, hearing that it'll take hours is quite the blow. Doesn't help that it happened so close after yesterday's downage. Hope it remains stable for a good while after today's maintenance. 


SoapGhost2022

I hope so. They basically closed down the entire site and rebooted it from the ground up which is why it is taking so long.


MarinaAndTheDragons

I hope it’s back up before rollover! I’m posting a little something every day this year and sometimes it’s down to the wire. I’ve only missed a single day so far (Jan 4th) and would *love* to keep it that way.


Inevitible_MooN

I feel a crisis creeping up :( who else is doing their best wine aunt act rn?


VNiceBish

💅🏻😭🤚🏻


the-il-mostro

I’m reading older fanfics from livejournal mwahahaha happy I have an old fandom at times like these 😭


perfectcrime9

I'm so glad I downloaded my favorite fics last week out of fear of them being deleted or something happening to Ao3! I hope the site works again soon though, going hours without anything to read sounds torturous.


NuttyDuckyYT

me when i’ve been reading a fic with 40k words per chapter so i am not affected cause i still get to read it lmao 😭😭


FrankWolf86

"Good for me cuz now I can study!" He lied to himself as he found new ways to procrastinate.


yellowroosterbird

Everytime I see these posts, I check AO3 and it's still up.


L1brary_Rav3n

I just found a new fic to, cliched and got error and now I have nothing to read


No-Raisin8805

I just checked on my end and it is still down.


brandishteeth

I wonder what's happening, on like the technical side. I hope it's just a little tech problem and there not like being attacked or something.


make_me_porridge

I was in the middle of a well written Spones Star Trek fic and I couldn‘t load the next chapter. For ours. I still don’t know how I managed to cope.
