Due to unforeseen traffic is Ellipsus is temporarily down. The engineering team is actively working on a fix.

We’re very sorry and hope to get our services back up and running ASAP.

Right back atcha! 😘

What you’re seeing is a known (and annoying!) visual bug - basically, a mirror of your own cursor. This usually resolves with a refresh, but we can help isolate the issue.

If it hasn't resolved, definitely get in touch with support (in-app, or at support@ellipsus.com), to troubleshoot! xo

A meme image showing two men shaking hands: one of them is my AO3 icon of Aedric smiling and the other is the Ellipsus logo. The text reads: Friendship ended with Google Docs now Ellipsus is my best friend. Two icons of Google Docs are in the lower left and lower right hand corners; they are crossed out with neon green X's.

The end of an era. 🫡

If you hit any lingering bumps, refresh your browser, and let us know on Discord discord.gg/ellipsus or via support ellipsus.com and we’ll jump on it.

THANK YOU for riding out the chaos with us!! 😮‍💨 Happy writing!

Annnnd we’re back! The login fix is live!

We’ve officially migrated to our new login provider, and the rate limit drama should be history.

Existing users should be able to login as usual... and new sign‑ups are open again! ✨

The issue’s on their side (Auth0 limits logins per hour), but
don’t worry—this won’t be a thing for long.

Next week, we’re switching to a new provider with way higher limits.

Thanks for bearing with us—and shout if the link doesn’t work for you. ❤️‍🔥

Heeeey y’all 👋
We’re seeing a wild wave of signups this weekend (yay!)—but it’s also pushed us into a rate limit with our login provider.
​
Good news though! You can use this link to sign in as a workaround: write.ellipsus.com/api/auth/wor...

Please stay informed. Back up your work.
And don’t be evil. (👀 Google)

We want to help build a space where writers are in control:

Ownership of your work. No surveillance; no surprise removals.
Sync, share, and collaborate, without scraping or data-selling.
A writing tool that you know is safe, now and in the future.

You should be able to write freely—without fear of deletion, censorship, or extraction.

All writing should be safe.
It should stay yours.

Content in the Age of Discontent The internet was supposed to be a place for connection and creativity. But it’s being flooded with AI text, algorithmic hostility, and platforms turning against the creatives who made them vibrant in ...

It’s still unclear what’s causing this, but if you’re uneasy about big tech creeping into creative spaces… you’re not alone.
(We’ve written about de-Googling and censorship before: ellips.us/4173KUW)

We’ve seen a number of writers sharing stories about suddenly losing access to their Google Docs today.

YIKES!!!!!! thank you for sharing this wlswarts!

The headline is "write it, stick it, share it." There are 8 stickers on screen: 1. A pen surrounded by the phrase "resistance starts with words" 2. A jar of pens with the Ellipsus logo 3. A book with "Queer futures" on the cover 4. The Ellipsus logo 5. A pen with a rainbow swirl 6. The phrase "FCK GPT" 7. A typewriter with the phrase "This machine kills fascists" 8. A rocket ship

So we want to hear from you:

✨ What does Pride mean to you as a writer?

✨ How does your creativity reflect your identity, your community, or your hopes for the future?

Every act of creation is one of resistance: a refusal to wait for permission, to let others tell us who we are.

Once, we had to squint for a glimpse of ourselves in the margins. Now we make our own stories.
