downloading a fic when ao3 dies (when you have the link)

looks like ao3 is down again and i was in the middle of a multi chapter fic when it died on me.

and if that happens to you, this is what you can do to download the fic:

copy paste https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/00000000/fic.html in your browser url

replace the pink bit with the number right after /works (that's the work id)

for instance, in https://archiveofourown.org/works/44970790/chapters/113154673 the highlighted bit (44970790) would be the number you swap for the 0s

the download link will look like https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/44970790/fic.html

if you want the fic to be downloaded as an epub instead, use .epub at the end of that link

it should start downloading on your device

i'm sure a bunch of people know this and use it but in case you don't, hope this helps

look. ik giving someone ptsd flashbacks on purpose is cruel but... look. I read the whole article. Neil is probably going to keep making at least the occasional public appearance, and if not he'll probably still leave his house. Its winter, its cold, and in England its pretty fucking cold all the time (no idea about NZ). If you didnt read the whole article in detail, this won't make any sense, but... a bucket of ice water over a door. a "loose" gutter. a loose fire hydrant cap with a pull string leading to a concealed location. a "burst" pipe. a hose through a window.

we could do it

we should do it

if people can milkshake politicians, people can ice bucket challenge Neil Gaiman. its just ice water. its so fucking easy. hell screw the complex methods, just show up to wherever he is with a full thermos and splash him. act like a fan, fake it, get close, splash him. line the sides of the road en masse, and all splash him. does he have a car? soak it. the lawn? ice. drive-by with a tank and hose. dont let him go anywhere dry. make him relive it again and again until he breaks. we have literally never had a horrific evil with such a cartoonish psychological weakness.

i just read the neil gaiman article and i feel physically sick. please do not read the article unless you have a strong stomach.

A PSA about the latest Vulture article to drop about Neil Gaiman -

Do not fucking read it if you are not in a stable state of mind.

Triggers include, but dare I say, are not limited to -

Sexual assault and misconduct

Anal, digital, oral, and vaginal rape

Forced urine/faeces consumption

Vomit/forced vomit consumption

Financial abuse

Gaslighting and manipulation

Sexual conduct in front of a minor

Sexual humiliation and degradation

Disordered eating, anorexia, and bulemia

Suicide, suicidal ideation

Self-harm

Child abuse

Scientology

Cult abuse

Drowning

Corporeal punishment

Intentionally painful penetration

Exploitation

Grooming

Most of these things are discussed in explicit detail multiple times.

It's harrowing and heartbreaking to read. Even if these are not specifically triggers of yours, I beg, take a second to really have a think about whether you're in a place to take this on.

my range of emotions go from “it’s scary how much i feel” to “it’s scary how much i don’t feel”

Can’t even say how I’m feeling without everything being my fault.
