What's Happening To AO3 Right Now?

What's happening to AO3 right now?

As you may have noticed already, Archive of Our Own is currently down. This is temporary, but unfortunately.. we now know that this is much deeper than we thought.

AO3 is currently the victim of a DDOS attack orchestrated by "Anonymous Sudan"

Why? Because AO3 is home to thousands of LGBTQIA+ content and lots of NSFW content. They're doing this as an Anti-LGBTQ+ attack. If they're doing this for or from America specifically, we're not sure. But this is what AO3 is facing at this time.

What can we do?

Spread the word. Spread the fucking word. I'll be providing updates to my Tumblr page directly from the r/AO3 subreddit. I know that not everyone here is comfortable using Reddit, so I'm taking the blow for you. I cannot access Twitter though.

And please, whatever you do...

Stop using the Archive of Our Own website at this time.

The moderators, showrunners, and service providers all need to repair the damage done by this group. The amount of data flooding in from people trying to log in will cause more problems. Keep yourselves off of the website.

Edit:

Confirmation for those who need it:

in honour of the deltarune news im once again remembering my funniest memory of it which was opening the game unspoiled, entering my name as "chris" and then being absolutely fucking bewildered when the game told me I couldn't make my own choices and would instead have to be called. kris

I worked so hard to make the DMMD anime look good in this lol. Only picking dialogue that fit with the game + the pain of Clear’s good/bad route parallels.

I’m a sucker for denying a cruel nature to embrace love

I really wanna bring attention to another fundraiser I trust.

This fundraiser belongs to a man named Hossam Bardawil who has lost so much due to this war. Not only has he lost his material belongings, his job, his home, but more importantly, he's lost his family. His parents and siblings tragically lost their lives, and now Hossam is trying to survive, living out of a tent in horrific conditions.

Now, Hossam is tasked with looking after the remaining family, including his nieces and nephews, as well as their mothers, as they navigate this terrifying world they are in. He's raising funds now to evacuate to safety.

They need $20,000 to evacuate the remaining members of their family, and currently have received less than $100 in donations.

They urgently need your help. Please share and please donate. Even a small amount brings them closer to safety and a life away from the constant fear of death.
