It would go down seconds after I submitted a chapter to my WIP I've been working on for centuries. Apologies to anyone who tried to get there and couldn't. I don't know why I'm apologising, since it's not my fault, but sorry all the same.
Speaking of AO3, there's a really interesting conversation happening on FFA right now about bookmarks and notifications. While most people seem to know and accept that bookmarks on fics and series aren't meant for the author, which is why there are no notifications for them, a few people seem to be having a really difficult time accepting this. I mean, I get that it's kind of weird that this is their stance, but they also don't notify you about subscribers either. That actually bothers me more than not being notified about bookmarks. I want to know when people like my stuff well enough to start getting email updates, since subscribers are, I think, the best indication of whether you're doing something right. Comments could be flames, and bookmarks could be anti-recs, but kudos and subscribers pretty much only go one way.
Unless you hate something so much that you're hate-following it, but if that's the case, dang. I think you need a new hobby.
