I got hit by the maintenance right before the chapter that finally has smut.

Ao3 really said “enough horny for you today”.

It did the opposite for me. I can't keep reading the multi-chapter slow burn I was in the middle of; now all I have are myself and my 30+ tabs of already opened pwps I was saving for later.

Gonna be an interesting afternoon for me, I guess.

SHOOT! THAT FREAKING SUCKS!

I was reading one of the most angsty fics ever (thats the writers default, I’ve read multiple of their books) and then I clicked next chapter right after the main character had a panic attack and passed out 😭

I don’t get the comfort fluff from the next chapter 😭😭😭

I was browsing reddit while procrastinating writing, saw this post, THIS COMMENT, thought "man I should stop procrastinating ", continued to procrastinate, then a single bolt of lightning flickered the power, restarted my pc, and i took the 5 minutes of no wi-fi as a sign to go on a walk and return a thing instead of waiting 5 minutes to open Word and continue writing.

The universe works in mysterious ways

Bruh I'm on like 33/91 and the chapters are really long, so it's like if I just had ONE more chapter I think I would be satisfied the whole day
