this whole downloading fics from ao3 discourse shouldn’t even be discourse bc it’s just so ridiculous like at the end of the day ao3 is a public archive. to me personally there’s no greater compliment than someone liking one of my fics enough that they’d dl it
fair enough if you don’t want ppl downloading them that’s ur choice but as long as they’re not reuploading them to different platforms i legit do not see the issue at all. the dl button is there for a reason
