The first two bullet points I already added to the page as references since they seem to address the crash directly. The rest of these are a mix of fannish responses to the crash, fanac unrelated to the crash, and meta discussion of Tiktok's impact on the fandom. -- Quaelegit (talk) 03:34, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

UPDATE: added the last three links to the Fanworks section of the mainpage. Only the 3rd bulletpoint (collection of reactions to the crash) isn't used on the page now. -- Quaelegit (talk) 04:01, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
