IGN: Archive of Our Own Could Be Down for Up to 4 Weeks After Going Dark for Emergency Maintenance. “Popular fanfiction site Archive of Our Own, commonly known as AO3, went down for maintenance early this morning. Now, the website is claiming it may take up to a month to come back online.”

I wrote about how I save fanfics to read later, and some resources on creating your own fanfic archive.

A weeks-long outage has hit Archive of Our Own, the volunteer-run fanfiction archive run by the non-profit OTW, after a security incident. Restoration could take two weeks or a month, though no data loss is expected. Writers are migrating to Space Battles and Tumblr, while Wattpad's support offer drew heavy backlash. Authors say losing kudos and comments would hurt more than losing files. https://www.404media.co/ao3-down-outage-reactions/ #Media #SocialMedia #AO3
in case you wonder: sites in questions were
- Clampesque Forum
- AdultFanFiction.net
- LiveJournal (Exodus due to hostile new owner)
- Fanfiction.net (ads & TOS restrictions)
- lots of private home pages that talented ppl abandoned for hellscapes like Tumbler and Facebook, and whatever Social Fad Google spat out at that time...
...and now I return to #writing & wishing all the best to the courageous souls battling the forces of darkness that harmed the #ao3
I guess it's time to organize my historic collection of Ranma crossover fanfiction

Achtung Fans:
Das große AO3 ist down. Wohl auch für länger, wenn ich auf Tumblr richtig gelesen habe. Eine Alternative um Fanfiction zu entdecken/lesen, könnte https://squidgeworld.org/ für Interessierte sein. Schaut euch auch auf Tumblr und Reddit um.
