Question about #AO3 notifications:
I have several works in an unrevealed collection I set up myself. I indeed to keep them private for the time being. But it comes with the downside that I can’t download them. I know that removing a work from the unrevealed collection should trigger the notifications to my subscribers, but I’ve heard that AO3 only sends out notifs every hour or so. If I take a work out of the collection, download it and hide it again right away, which I suppose takes less than a minute in total, will the notif still be sent out?
#boosts appreciated!
"Update - We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. If that does happen, there may be times when the site has to be brought down temporarily until this is fully resolved. Please stay tuned for further info."

Another place people who miss #AO3 can go, or come back to, is Dreamwidth, which carried on LiveJournal's legacy of being a home for fandom writing and nerdery (to the extent that I've always felt slightly out of place for not being involved in this!).
Here's a list of communities (curated by someone I follow who knows about such things!)

#ScribesAndMakers September 22: Promotion day. Self or someone else. Or both.
Folks my have noticed I post ongoing serials on the Fedi. I later gather these up, edit them, fix mistakes, and post them as a 2nd ed. improved version on #PIXIV and #AO3
I am currently running #TimeTravelingGhost, a #PulpFiction inspired #TimeTravel novel.
ArchiveOfOurOwn (AKA AO3, run by the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW)) has been down for a few days due to a security incident. In the wake of that security incident, a site called AO3.life has cropped up. At some point, they scraped what appears to be most (if not all ... I've got no way to check that myself) of the fics on AO3 including ones that were only available to logged-in users.
In addition to providing these fics (some of which were specifically not intended for broader consumption) on their site, they're trying to get readers to pay for audio editions of the stories.
They have some dodgy and technically impossible steps if you are an AO3 author and want to take your fics down.
OTW is aware and is taking legal action but they warn that the legal system is slow. They advise that you do not attempt to use AO3.life's requested method since it may expose you to additional dangers regarding your private information.
Can I brag that recently I had this funny feeling, like the force, so downloaded **all** of my loved and to be read AO3 fics to read offline? All my fics are like 1 GB! And that's with downloading HTML and EPub files! It does suck that hackers got my personal private email though, the one I *never* use for online services except this 1 time. Ugh. #AO3 #Fanfiction
Bijou the Time-Traveling Ghost is a pulp-inspired #UrbanFantasy / #HistoricalFantasy (#TimeTravel) serial. Bereft of her memory, Bijou must discover why she's been summoned back. Alongside a ghost from the Hindenburg disaster, she must uncover the Lapin Cabal's plans and stop them. All the while navigating a slow-burn romance.
With #AO3 down, the revised #TimeTravelingGhost can now only be found on #PIXIV.
Weekly episodes released on Bijou the Time-Traveling Ghost (2nd Edition) at
ALERT! If you have ever posted anything to AO3, it looks like some shitstain has scraped the entire thing, loaded it into an LLM and generated PDFs and audiobooks, which people can buy.
This vibe-coded piece of shittery is ao3.life and if you want to request your works taken down it says you can email legal@ao3.life and they will take it down, but I'm afraid it already looks like they have fed it to an LLM.
This includes ALL my locked fics, btw.
AO3 is down for 2-4 weeks 😭 but if you like hot characters in angsty SF&F situations, might I suggest consoling yourself with my some of my books?
