As many of you have may have noticed, AO3 has been experiencing a DDOS attack that has been taking the site down sporadically for the last nine hours or more.
While things seem more stable at the moment, we know access to the site has been difficult, and there hasn't yet been an official all-clear. We want to give it a little more time to let things settle.
We're delaying our opening 12 more hours, to Tuesday, 11 July at 11:59 AM US Eastern (countdown).
In the meantime, please remember to save a copy of your work somewhere other than AO3! This is especially important if you're making final tweaks to your stories, but it's always good practice in any situation.
Also, please make sure that if you edit the story, every version you save can go live as a complete gift, just in case you don't make it back to add any additional changes.
If you run into urgent technical problems, please email us at fandom5kmod@gmail.com.
