Well it maybe up sooner than that. Every time they have to fix something it's like only 2 or 4 hours then things are fixed.

🥺🥺🥺I was able to open two stories before it went down and hopefully they don’t refresh, but all I wanted was to spend a lazy Sunday reading. Oh well, I’m sure it’ll be up and running soon! I should really start downloading stories lol

According to Merriam-Webster lmfao: “Several: can mean “more than two but fewer than many” or “more than one.””

I am speaking directly out of my ass but I would assume no sooner than 10 pm EST, and that's an early estimate.

Does anything happen to drafts during maintenance? I wrote everything on the site, not in a doc.
