What's happening to AO3 right now?

As you may have noticed already, Archive of Our Own is currently down. This is temporary, but unfortunately.. we now know that this is much deeper than we thought.

AO3 is currently the victim of a DDOS attack orchestrated by "Anonymous Sudan"

Why? Because AO3 is home to thousands of LGBTQIA+ content and lots of NSFW content. They're doing this as an Anti-LGBTQ+ attack. If they're doing this for or from America specifically, we're not sure. But this is what AO3 is facing at this time.

What can we do?

Spread the word. Spread the fucking word. I'll be providing updates to my Tumblr page directly from the r/AO3 subreddit. I know that not everyone here is comfortable using Reddit, so I'm taking the blow for you. I cannot access Twitter though.

And please, whatever you do...

Stop using the Archive of Our Own website at this time.

The moderators, showrunners, and service providers all need to repair the damage done by this group. The amount of data flooding in from people trying to log in will cause more problems. Keep yourselves off of the website.

Edit:

Confirmation for those who need it:

i never got around to posting these. this was my shot for the RotTMNT Reanimated collab. i animated this summer/fall of last year, and thinking about it, i think it was the last time i drew the boys! this is one of my favourite episodes so i was very excited to get in and participate. i’m gonna be moving on from rise now but i did love drawing these boys

I am visible!!!

I’m starting to think that Andy Suriano wants Rise back as much as we do…

Guys, if you want to take another proactive step to make this dream into a reality, go to this post and add your reasons why Rise matters to you in the google doc made by our lovely ally @seasaltcosmos

Mikey is just living his best life.

(This is the real story of how he got bald yeah 😔)

For the past 2 months, I've been near silent due to an art project I've been creating. This is my first time ever animating, so I hope it came out good for me being a first-timer. While this was exhausting and time consuming, I cant thank the Risathon discord and this art exchanges host, Petra, and the other mods enough for helping me finally get into animation and pushing my limits wen it comes to art. This was a blast to participate in! Thank u all! And ENJOY the art!

Here are the gifs of the separate turtle piles.

And finally, the colored finale turtle pile!
