#ao3 attack

[sweet-reaper]

“Nobody panic!” I yell as I tumble, having already thrown myself into the abyss.

Ao3 has become a victim of a AI scrapper, and I'm genuinely scared for all different fics, and original works. My own original work was in the ones that were scrapped. I've already put in a request to take it down and the ao3 data base is currently disabled but not deleted. If your fic has an ID number between 1-62,000,00 has been stolen. Protect your works.

this was me for a lot of this month :(

Whoever hurt AO3, I will legitimately drive to your flat so that we can throw hands

Isn’t it crazy how a website went down and a whole section of the internet went fucking insane

Can't believe that horrific attack happened last year, it was such an agonizing event to all of us fanfiction writers and readers despite it lasting for a day. Kudos to the ao3 crew who helped during the attack.

Our Systems volunteers have written up a great behind-the-scenes look at last year’s DDoS attacks against the Archive. Why not check it out and show them some love?

I have a paper due! How am I supposed to procrastinate under these conditions???

More Tumblr x AO3 art. Anyone else remember when the archive was in the hospital for like 3 days? Yeahahahah that was scary

...also AO3 would get stabbed and then say 'im sorry for the mess' dksflakdfj;as
