the night when the AO3 reached 100K works :D
Last night OTW volunteers and staff had a "reaching 100K Archive works" party. (Night for me and about half the other celebrators. I wasn't the only intruder upon timezones that should have seen me sleeping instead of refreshing the AO3 front page. ;) )
It made me so gleeful and touched to see that people really, really use this thing that we're building. The constant trickle of works reinforced emotionally what I intellectually already knew, of course - the Archive as a living thing, never sleeping, never sitting still.
If you see less than 100K, it might be because some works are restricted to users-only. If that makes you curious, joining is easy and the invite queue moves pretty quickly. I think I have some invites lying around too, poke me if needed! ;)
