Show Notes
ATTACK! This week, V tells Emily about the 2023 DDoS attacks against the OTW, particularly AO3, and how amazing the SysAdmin volunteers defended the servers and got the sites back online. Plus, how fandom reacted to A Very Bad 24 Hours In Fandom History -- because there was ANOTHER dumb/bad event happening over on Tumblr, too! -- and perhaps the greatest fanfiction of all time.
