If you've had issues with the database site recently, either not responding to requests or crashing entirely, those should be fixed now!

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@_Avlyr Thank you!! We're slowly working on a second version with a similar layout but even better search engine, so it only gets better from here ^^

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

Getting a little influx of followers, so a few notes:

- We're currently working on a new, even better version of the website! It'll be awesome, we promise.
- Normally there is a suggest a character form. It is currently closed while we do the update, but it'll be back.

spent the afternoon working on the new design for the aroace database :D here's how its looking so far

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

Hello new followers! Happy #AroWeek to all, and we hope you'll find new aro characters to love here!

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

A quick note in this season to say that our form to suggest a character is currently closed! We're working on our backend to bring you an updated and much more robust database.

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@asexuality @MirthfulMeg There's no way to "exclude" YA yet, but YA books *are* marked in the genre field so you can skip over them while you browse, at least, yes!

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@ermreading Aaaah, so happy it's reaching new people!! Thank you for the tiktok ^^

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@queer_lit @AndreaReimer1 🤡
Why, yes, that would be a perfectly solid explanation thank you 🤣

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@AndreaReimer1 Huh, it's working on my computer! Try this one? https://t.co/Ii7j7MAClQ

It's going to a specific entry, but it'll let us know if the URL above is causing issue or if the whole thing seems down for you

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@AndreaReimer1 It miiiight have crashed through traffic. 💀 I tested it right before tweeting and it was working fine both through morning and for a while after.

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

The whole team is constantly poking at this to help it along. Thank you all for the support and patience 💚

DATABASE UPDATE NEWS

📗 Added in ~10 new characters in our suggestions
📗 Updated existing entries with more information, new stories, etc.
📗 Moved to a new, more stable host (it'll help support our dark mode!)
📗 Made the mobile site more usable

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@undertheteacup As a side note, too: we tried to catch them all in a recent flurry of revising our genre tags, but some may have been missed/mistagged, so it's always worth it to double check before you buy a book ^^;

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@undertheteacup This also made me realize we may want to tag them as "YA" and "NA" instead. I prefered the longer versions, but programming search elements when all three names have 'adult' in it may become a problem 😶

[Aro Ace Database @AroAceDB]

@undertheteacup We're working on that one. As of now, everything Young Adult and New Adult is tagged as such, but we don't have an easy way to exclude them from a search. So it's possibly for you to know which ones aren't adult fiction, but they're still *there*
