The Tag-Wrangled Banner

Summary:

An Ao3 national anthem.

Notes:

I realized the second I opened this notes box that I'm posting this on US Veteran's Day.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

[To the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner"]


O say can you see,

By the page, mostly white,

What so proudly we hailed,

On October twenty-ninth?

Whose Lucida Grande,

Through the maint’nance downtime,

O’er the error message,

Proved the database still there?

And those brave volunteers,

Even though commandeered,

Through the status page,

Vow no works disappeared;

O say, does that "Arch-ive Down For Maint’nence" page display

For the grand AO3,

And the groundwork it laid?

Notes:

Thank you to our troops (OTW Volunteers)
