This AO3 discourse really is proving that we are in a literacy crisis. If you don't want people downloading & sharing your fics, why are you posting them on the site called "Archive of Our Own" whose entire purpose is to archive fanworks & make them accessible for everyone?
🚨‼️ 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
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: https://t.co/YAyyoTDOpE
