The Day AO3 Went Down

On today’s episode, Rachelle and Candice meet in person for the
first time! They recap the July 10 attack on fanfiction site AO3 —
Archive of Our Own — which caused a site outage and a state of
panic for many writers, readers and their fandoms. The site was
created in 2008 as an online fanfiction archive that soon became a
safe haven for women and the queer community. So what happens when
that safe haven is threatened by malicious hackers? This podcast is
produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim and
