Gothicink

started writing a byler fanfic for “fun” - it has taken over my life. Over 25.

[Gothicink @Gothicinkao3]

123k words of AU College Byler. Mike is a gothy hot mess of a player - until he claps eyes on new boy -Will Byers, right as he’s almost given up on life. Ref HIV crisis in a way personal to the characters. #byler #bylerfanfic #mikewheeler #willbyers

you took my ao3 (i was mid chapter)

[✮ 𝔸𝕞𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕖 ✮ ℒ𝒶𝓋𝒶? ℒ𝒶𝓋𝒶. 🌋 @ameliethe_wise]

Maybe el is in Iceland and Mike is in Will

[mags 💫 @mochimags]

there is definitely an irony in the mass uploading of downloaded fics to google drive where it can now be used to train gemini. ao3 was created as a safe haven for writers to share their works without fear of legal prosecution. it was not made solely for readers, and it is +

[frannie @nerdydaughter]

“will, come on, come on” INTO COME ON BABY COME ON DARLING oh my fuck

[blood @bloodlessvrse]

since I’m hoping to finish it before ao3 is back… surprise! 👀⛺️

if you’ve ever read fuck you, mean it (or the tent fic), allow me introduce myself. I’m anon!

[Gothicink @Gothicinkao3]

@bloodlessvrse Oh this is amazing.

[𝓯𝓲𝓪 ²⁴ ♡ ⁸¹ @sotenderhearted]

just a quick disclaimer: if you have any of my fics downloaded please don’t upload them on any other sites without my permission. i don’t care about keeping the files yourself to read but uploading my work in new places online without my approval is a very different thing

[Gothicink @Gothicinkao3]

@imaginarybonesx I bet they still listen to Bowie though. Iykyk.

[Gothicink @Gothicinkao3]

If you’re unable to separate the art from the artist, I have news for you about David Bowie. Do what the fuck you want. He’s a grown ass man.

[dea 𓆈 @ch8rileon]

god please take all of ao3’s maintenance issues & give it to chatgpt

“What if you want to use another website?”

“Not possible”

[AO3 Status @AO3_Status]

Earlier today, we detected evidence of a security incident on #AO3. We are still in the early stages of investigating. No AO3 data has been deleted. All your works, bookmarks, kudos, etc., are safe. Learn more at https://t.co/xzGXE5HyaB

[Gothicink @Gothicinkao3]

@crowndaisychain I agree. 🫶🏼

[Gothicink @Gothicinkao3]

All I can think about is the HTDC updates being delayed 😭

[ace @ariscopus]

this is so dire i’m about to start sending “you up” messages to my writer mutuals in the middle of the night to see if they’ll tell me a homosexual bedtime story

[hayley 🍂🏒🎃 @alecflowerswood]

someone on ao3 who volunteers for ao3 on reddit said the data is in tact (no fics or anything deleted) so whatever this is might be a hardware issue....

🚨‼️ WHILE AO3 is down ‼️🚨

If you read fic from someone’s shared drive, please keep in mind that the authors won’t see any hits/kudos on their work.

Once the site is back up, make sure to show those authors some love with kudos/comments. We must feed them if we want to eat

[minnie 🌷💫 @peqch_es]

if ao3 means so much to you and is such a big part of your daily life that you feel the weight of its absence now, let it also be a reminder about the importance of leaving kudos and comments even if its just a simple "i loved this!" to show writers you care about their hard work

[clarke 🍓NINI DAY🍓 @madnotwise]

friendly reminder to maybe note down to go back and leave a kudos and comment for any fics you read as epubs once ao3 is back up <3
