Me yesterday: Grrr, I hate these bots on AO3 and their shite about making fics into comics...go AWAY!
Me today: Seriously, WTF can have happened that they're talking weeks rather than days for this AO3 outage?

Guess that comes under the heading of "be careful what you wish for."

We're all wondering the same thing. What in the world is going on? It's only the first day, and I'm nuts already. Okay, so I was nuts anyhow, but this isn't helping.

The OTW just put out an update: https://www.transformativeworks.org/update-on-ao3-downtime-october-30-2026/

tl;dr is it's a security incident.
