1. Home, the finger of my creator and other self.

2. Well, I don’t like it but I can work with this. Cause some trouble, get some revenge, find my way home, this is fine.

3. What the fuck is you?

4. Right personality, wrong species, I don’t know what you are but I hate you and I don’t know why you’re so resistant to my powers.

5. NO NO NO there are goblins everywhere how did I find another one of THESE horrible things. This one’s even more resistant than the last one and also disgustingly nice. I suffer.

6. Listen, I’ll cooperate, just get me the fuck out of this hellhole full of small cheerful people my power doesn’t work on properly. No, not like that. I hate you. Please stop. 

7. FUCK

8. (Frodo again) I still hate you with every molecule of my mortal form but at least you’re not number seven. Think I’m starting to get through finally. 

Here is a metaphor to explain

a DDOS ( distributed denial of service) attack. It was written by EllipsisObsessed and I am sharing it with their permission.

Several people have asked how they could show their appreciation for the volunteers. Currently A03 is not hurting for money. Perhaps consider donating to a local (your city, county, state) charity in A03's name

"It’s like we are running a store or maybe a library and patrons need to go to an employee to ask them for things. And at first it was as if bunch of Robots walked in and asked complicated questions which confused the employees and then walked out before the employees could give them the answer. So the employees were sitting there like ‘??? but I have your answer???’ and were too busy to help real customers

Then AO3 put stuff in place to block the specific sorts of questions the Robots like to ask, so the employees became better better at saying “Hah yeah no please leave” or “Hey, for now Robots can’t ask certain questions”.

But when the Robots couldn't keep us busy with questions they instead sent larger hordes of robots because it still takes time to say “Nope not you” and they clogged the front door.

So after trying numerous fixes, AO3 reached out to a Third Party Bouncer who can guard the front door

Lots of Robots are still showing up, a decent number are making it through as the new Third Party Bouncers are a bit worried about accidentally blocking users so they are being cautious and letting folks they aren’t sure on through. A03 support is helping them figure out the difference.
