Is ao3 down?

13m

That feeling of having a fanfic idea and even writing down plans for certain scenes, but being unable to fill out the whole storyline and actually write it. I don't even have an AO3 account, I'm just saving notes in case my brain starts working later.

IS AO3 DOWN

Ugh, is #AO3 down?

Bro did ao3 go down or something? I was all up into the fic I was reading 😭

**** AO3 WENT DOWN I WANTED TO READ

Is ao3 down for anyone?

I never really bothered looking at the most kudos fics in Ao3 until recently (bcs of that one power outage byler fic)—so you can imagine my shock that nearly half of the top 10 were all HP fics 😭😭
