wait. are you actually upset readers are downloading their fav fic writers works and sharing them between the community bc ao3 is down? cuz i don't see the issue it's not the like we readers aren't claiming those works as ours 😭 like are we deadass

No I’m not and I haven’t said that I am. Over and over again other authors have expressed that they’re uncomfortable with it and they’ve been met with the nastiest vitriol from people who supposedly rely on their stories so much they’re having meltdowns over the site being inaccessible. That’s the issue. There’s no respect for these writers (broadly, my fandom has actually been really great about it). My tweet, the one that has taken off, says absolutely nothing about the download option at all and yet no one is wearing their reading glasses and seeing my actual words, including you apparently — it’s about the horrible things people say about writers who dare to want interaction on their fics.
