I have resorted to going back to ffnet and jebus, its been so long since I've been on there and so much has changed. So glad I have adblocker but a lack of fics for my current fandom is not great - BUT I am looking through the Naruto fics now.

I cracked up because typing in ao3 into the search engine has brought up new articles with one of them reccing alternative fanfic sites.
I've heard of Quotev, Watpad and ffnet - but I don't think that I have ever heard of commaful.com before for fics.

It's back up now as far as I can tell, they've adjusted their Cloudflare.

Kinda thinking this is a good chance to get a bunch of things worked on so I can post a bunch when it's properly up again .

I'm out of the loop - what's happening with AO3? Is it shutting down? There's nothing on the front page that indicates anything's wrong.

It was down for 24 hours due to a DDOS attack.

Oh. It's been working fine for me though.

I had a couple of longer fics open in tabs that I didn't finish reading, so I was actually good AND I was able to close some of my gazillion open tabs.

*shrug* I have 200+ unread fics on my e-reader. AO3's download button is my friend.

Having stepped back from writing fanfic, I've been observing this from the sidelines. I am currently watching this bit of commentary: https://youtu.be/zn7I80Zopgw

It's been back for me since about 4 this afternoon so I'm fine.

I have about 50 opened unread tabs of whole fic (I don't do chapter by chapter) most of which are over 100k, so I've been good. It's actually forced me to read some of the open tabs. XD

What kind of monster does chapter by chapter? Whole thing one page is where it's at.

DA

But I much prefer chapter by chapter, so I guess I’m that monster?

*raises hand*

Grrr, arrgh.

Chapter by chapter for me! If I’m reading it on the site, I’m on my iPad and using reader mode which doesn’t work on “entire work” mode. I only do the whole thing with fics I download and put on my kindle.

It’s been working for me since about noon EDT (almost 7.5 hours ago)

Is it still down for anyone else? A couple hours ago it worked for me for just enough to download one fic, then it was down again. I'm getting that Cloudflare page where it says me and the Cloudflare server are working but the host has an error, but according to that downforeveryone site, it's working, so I'm kind of confused.

It's up again for me, too, just as you say: behind the cloudflare thing.

I've been reading more there today to celebrate.

I don't have a particular fandom right now so I've taken to just mindlessly scrolling tags looking for fic, but I end up rarely even reading something and instead just wasting hours of my life browsing. I hadn't realized how often in a day I'd give it a quick look until I couldn't anymore.

I'm doing just fine here watching SG1 with a cat laying on top of me purring. All is right with the world.

Well that just sounds lovely.

Judging by how loudly she's purring, I think it is lovely for both of us. :)

Made me realize I should actually tag the 1500 fics I have downloaded. They are only titled and organized by Fandom.
