I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
- downloading my fics
- printing my fics
- copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
- sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whisperingmy precioussss- doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
- doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
- feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.
You also can't sell a print version of any of my fics. If you decide to print and bound my fics to add to your personal collection, or as a gift to your friend - that's fine. You cannot charge for it, and I don't approve of you selling my FREELY AVAILABLE WORK in any shape or form.
