Gonna download some fics just in case. I always keep a few tabs open on "entire work", in case the site goes down – but with the first crash, night before this, whenever I went to open one, the tab somwhow.. auto updated ??(NEVER happened before!) to give me the "down for maintenance" message 😩

Always do, but with the first crash, night before this, whenever I opened a tab where I'd saved a fic... the tab somwhow auto updated (NEVER does that normally!) and gave me the down for maintenance message 😩 I've always thought I was safe if I just kept my tabs open on "entire work", this time nope

Ao3 down, meaning no 50k hollanov bedtime story for me. This was my chance at a healthy sleep schedule! Instead, I have just spent FOUR hours watching hudcon and hollanov stuff on yt. It's almost 5 am and I kinda have regrets, but also not

Nothing better than a good soulmate marks fic, hope you find some real good ones! I think the best ones I've found personally have been thilbo fic Not-really-unrequited-love is also a good one for some pining and a healthy dose of angst lmao Good luck with the fluff!

Same. God the time BEFORE ao3 how did I LIVE, with just lj and ffnet ;—; after getting used to ao3's tags there's no going back (loove when you find those oddly specific ones that you're into... At the moment I'm working my way through #Merlin's-magic-loves-Arthur lolll) What are you into atm?

gailphoenix.bsky.social @gailphoenix.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Lol feel that. Though I've become SO picky with age, so these days I only have like perhaps 50 or so saved (total, all ships and fandoms) (//▽//)

Currently reading one called "The Threads Between Us" btw (had some tabs open on the 1st ch fics I was saving for later – well, this is later...) and it's really promising, so far! Though it's kinda soon to say for sure. But like I am DYING here, I really wanted to finish it nowww μ_μ

gailphoenix.bsky.social @gailphoenix.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Yeah that ship sails itself ❤ω❤ I keep going back to them. And oh a few, but I never remember fic names so I save good ones in bookmarks... and since ao3 is down.. well. (・・ )

I'm fixated on Merthur at the moment ╥ω╥ anyone else?

gailphoenix.bsky.social @gailphoenix.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Sounds awesome! Love it when you get to write about stuff that actually interests you! (I wrote my entire bachelor thesis on destiel fanfic and shipping, way back like 12 years ago lol)

gailphoenix.bsky.social @gailphoenix.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I understand desperation ╥ω╥ personally am *this* close to going over to ffnet lolll

gailphoenix.bsky.social @gailphoenix.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I had a few tabs open, on the first chapters of fics I was saving for later. Now I've read them – and ALL were multi ch fics ╥ω╥ that I didn't get to finish.
