Archive Of Our Own Might Be Down For Several Weeks And Fanfic Readers Are (Rightfully) Crashing Out

The fanfic Library of Alexandria will be inaccessible for at least a few weeks. According to the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW), the non-profit that oversees the administration of Archive of Our Own, a major outage has hit the fanfic repository, and what was once estimated to be an issue that could be resolved in a few hours might now take anywhere from two to four weeks to fix. Archive of Our Own (also known as AO3) is to fandom communities what Fox News is to your average doddering Republican grandpa: It’s on all the time.
