Vibe-coded AO3 clone site down after mass takedown wave
Original: Vibe Coded AO3 Clone Site Down After Fanfic Authors Buried It With 2,000 Takedown Notices in a Single Day https:// suppo
A fanfiction site built with 'vibe coding'—AI-assisted coding with little oversight—has been taken offline after fanfic authors filed roughly 2,000 takedown notices against it in a single day. The site, described as a clone of the Archive of Our Own, apparently republished authors' works without permission. The coordinated legal flood from the fanfic community reportedly forced the platform offline, drawing attention across fan communities online.
Why now: The fanfic community coordinated a mass takedown campaign against an unauthorized AI-built clone of their works, and the site's collapse happened within a day.
