#hollanov - Like Animals 🔞
We can go all night
Don't you close your eyes
Don't you fear the light
All night
If you wanna be animals
Baby, we can be animals
Eat this life 'til your heart is full
If you want, you can have it all

YOU CAN'T EVEN PM IN AO3
I hate to be that person, but seriously, think of how many kids right now are being saved. Have we forgotten that ACTUALLY predators use ao3 to communicate??? The same way they use telegram??? The website being down is a good thing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
AO3 is a fanfiction repository without private messaging or chat features, unlike Telegram. The downtime is due to a security incident. techcrunch.com/2026/10/29/fan… 404media.co/archive-of-our…

I've gotten responses that make me want to make one thing perfectly clear: I am a writer. I've been writing fanfiction since 2008, I have over a 1mil words posted on AO3, and I've seen websites I wrote on in the past (Quizilla) vanish in an instant and take *my work* with them.

i find arguments like this completely disingenuous bc if this genuinely happens either you're posting to an incredible niche fandom/ship and atp you KNOW you're writing for yourself and maybe a handful of other ppl at most or-

Do the people throwing tantrums about fics being downloaded and shared realize that there not being 'reuploaded' anywhere, they remain on drives and in order for that user to have your fic downloaded theyd need to have visited it? And likely left kudos which is all they can do?

AO3 was born out of a fandom space where the hard work done by writers was at a moments notice of being lost forever. That's why it offers the download option, bc in the event AO3 itself is taken down forever, that piece of fandom history, won't be completely lost

As an author: if you don't want your work to be downloaded, don't put it on the site with download option.
To the readers: when all is back make sure to drop a kudos or a comment to the things you read and enjoyed. You don't owe it by law but you do owe it by common courtesy

new gen fandom is full of cops im crying
besides the miserable take, like in spirit, because sharing fan works is the biggest part of fandom culture, your genius idea is only gonna fuck authors over

hey so holy shit please don’t do this. if anything you are going to get the authors in question in trouble, because they are the ones who are in a copyright grey area and the last thing any fic author wants is for fucking GOOGLE to be scrutinising their work for “abusive content”
