We're looking into issues causing site slowness and error pages. Very sorry, will let you know as soon as we know more!
(17:48 UTC March 28, 2024)
We had to restart a database, so the site will continue to be slow or non-responsive as it recovers. Please be gentle with the Archive, and stand by for further updates.
(17:58 UTC March 28, 2024)
Doing the gentlest possible thing to help out our database server: taking the Archive down for a bit. No need to panic, we'll be back as soon as we can!

u know ur a tumblr local when u immediately come here to make sure ao3 is down and see people already posting about it. how dare ao3 be down and deprive me of my gay fanfiction. this is homophobic.
edit: just saw it’s for maintenance and i forgive them. their work makes a wonderful reading experience for me, so.

I love how I can confidently go on tumblr when Ao3 is down to see a community crumble in 3 minutes x

love how the moment ao3 goes down we all start acting like housewives waiting for their husbands to come back from war

More problems at AO3 (Thursday March 28th 2024) Don't spam the page to see if its back if you can manage it - give the server a chance to stabilise 🥰

My wife (ao3) has gone to war (is down) and I don't know if she'll ever return home again (the wonderful people at ao3 are working diligently to bring it back up ASAP). I don't know if I'll ever recover (I'll be fine) but I'm being very brave about it (I am NOT being brave).

opening the fic tab to see ao3 down is like coming home to get a snack from the fridge but the whole fridge is missing :(
