It’s not a matter of respect. I treat fanfic like I treat traditionally published works and if, idk, Neil Gaiman showed up at my door offering to refund the purchase price of my Sandman comics if he could set fire to them on my front stoop, I’d say no and shut the door.

[ayebydan]

Yeah but you would have already paid him for those comics. Respecting his work, purchasing it.
All I did was put up some bullshit story and hope someone might like it but then think oh, maybe not. Or what about those who need to NOT be connected to that anymore but orphan-ing it isn't an option? In years gone past things that happened could disappear. Now it doesn't. Ok. Guess I will just be unnerved by it.

Post to ff.net instead of AO3? Or has ff.net enabled downloading? Maybe just post it on Dreamwidth? AO3 isn’t the only game in town, just the most popular. I’ve been disagreeing with you all over this thread, but if your foremost concern is total control over your work and specifically making downloading it a pain in the ass/impossible, I guess just don’t upload to AO3 to start with.

[ayebydan]

I wouldn't know. I'm open, you're anon. You could be 10 folk.

I see the downloading feature all the time. I choose not to use it. Just like back in the day I didn't screenshot lj or fanfic.net. I thought I'd appeal but if it is on deaf ears....no point.

If someone would download off ao3 then they will screenshot it off another site, or reverse, then no matter if I say otherwise they will take home their fic I guess.

I'd hope they wouldn't but, eh.

Put an author’s note on your stuff asking readers not to download it? Not everyone will respect your wishes, but it may mean less copies floating around. Actually, now I’m wondering if AO3 authors can even see download stats. I don’t post there, or anywhere, really. I posted some anon fics to a not-actually-kinky kinkmeme in the dying days of LJ, but I’ve literally never had a social media account of any kind.

AO3 doesn't allow you to see download stats, which is a bummer because I'm curious. I have no problem with people downloading my fic, and I would love to see how the download stats compare to kudos/hits/bookmarks.

This wouldn't work, there are tools like fanfiction downloader where you paste the link to the story in the program and it'll compile the story into a single file and save it as a html or epub file.
