AO3, a fanfic repository, was apparently attacked ("detected evidence of a security incident") and will be down for at least two weeks.
Yes, weeks.
The fandoms involved are going nuts already from what I can see, although folks are pulling together to provide alternate spaces for works and discussion.
As I do enjoy some writing from there, I'm a little shocked and disturbed by it all.
