A quick tutorial on how to Download Fics from AO3

After making this poll about the panic that comes when Archive of Our Own goes down, there seems to be a chunk of folks who didn't know they could download fics for offline use, or don't know how to go about it. Here's a quick tutorial for that.

You do not need an AO3 account (unless the fic you are trying to download is restricted to AO3 users only) you only need an internet connection and a device to download to, whether it's PC or a phone.

These instructions work for both desktop and mobile. At the top of the fic, where the chapter index is, there will be the download option on the right side, and an 'Entire Work' button the left side.

For One-Shots: Go ahead and click the download button.

For multiple chapter fics: In order to have the fic download all together instead of downloading each chapter individually, make sure you select the 'Entire Work' button. Like the names says, it displays the entire work on the webpage, and will download the entire fic with all it's chapters in the correct order when you go to download.

Archive of our Own will automatically download the entire fic work now instead of chapters.

Click the download button. You've got a couple of options:

What these options mean:

AZW3 - Amazon-developed ebook format that is designed for Kindles and Amazon's systems. Good if you want to read off of a kindle.

EPUB - Standard file format for Ebooks and is basically used as the default for pretty much most ebook readers. This is what I prefer to use when downloading to my phone.

MOBI - An older version of the AZW3. Older but standard as well.

PDF - Downloads the fics as a PDF. Can be read anywhere you can open a PDF.

HTML - Downloads an offline version of the exact webpage you are looking at. Fine if you want to keep the 'look' of AO3 but you can't change the text size or reading style like you can with ebook formats.

Not sure which one to download? Use EPUB since it's standard and readable by pretty much everything, retains images too.

You now have your fic downloaded to your device and can read it on whatever reading app you have. YAY!

Do keep in mind that these are offline files that do not synch with Archive. So if you download an ongoing fic that updates or is edited since you last downloaded, you will need to download it again to have the updated version.

I highly encourage you download your fics if you are able. Worst case scenario, if AO3 goes down for an indefinite amount of time or the author deletes or hides it, you still have it. (Only download, not distribute.) Best case scenario, you have saved yourself an inconvenience for later.

Happy Reading!

#ao3 #archive of our own #download fics tutorial #fandom culture #idk what else to tag this as whoops #i download my own fic a lot so when im out i can reread and check for errors without actually having to be at my pc #edit: they might have changed the download to automatically download the whole fic #but im still downloading single chapters on pc in some formats so cant say for all of them

mira !!! :]

#isat #in stars and time #isat mirabelle #isat spoilers #<- due to act 3 optional content !#the img might be being chewed due to weird canvas size oops ah well #one of these miras is not like the other #one of these miras doesnt belong ASFASFSDAFA #a majority of these are based on things mentioned / that happen in the house cuz i thought itd be fun to draw :D #so like the wilting plant is from gardening room dialogue #the poster with ppl holding hands and sparkly eyes is (i think??) from some SAPSAPSAAP dialogue in one of the first rooms #i tried looking around ISAT to see if it's also in there too but couldnt find it so uh correct me if im wrong if thats NOT an exclusive LOL #side note the 2 in the poster are some old nuz ocs isatified ASDFASFA #funnily enough tho they are from 2 different games if they actually ever met they would hate each others guts i think. hmm...#however both are also the most qualified to help with promotional stuff so theres that ASDFAFA #mira looking at her bonding proposals is sorta on the tin but #the fact that she has like right next to her while she sleeps in her dresser makes me :(#cuz to me it potrays how much theyve been weighing over her cuz of how close shes been keeping them with her vs putting them on a bookshelf #or something idk if that makes sense i dont have proper words atm #but uhhh moving on chalkboard is from one of the optional events #which i think is! important!!! i dont think ive seen many ppl talk about it but!! yeah!#however i too do not have words on it atm but!!! yeah!!!! moving on for now!#the 'mira' that is really just the change god is ofc from the change god event :]#aaand ofc the iconic finish from mira towards the king #and then some misc miras with swords for funsies tbh ASFAFA #but yeah! i like mira a lot actually but as with many things i do not currently have many words to properly articulate *why*#all i know in my heart of hearts is that she is near and dear and special to me personally #one day. one day i will be able to gather my thoughts in a cohesive manner but that day. is not today!#anyway tag talk over :]

Side effects of wearing your Kaiju suit too often ,,,, Part 2

#narumi gen #kn8 #kaiju no. 8 #my art #kn8 spoilers #idk if this actually needs a spoiler tag since it's mostly AU but eh #if nothing else my tags need a spoiler tag lol #biblically accurate narumi i have created him #himm always watching #I like the idea that when all his funky 1 eyes close you can barely see them #want him to walk around like a normal little guy #and then something catches his attention and bam #suddenly eyes everywhere lookin around #I also think the sclera of his normal eyes might do a colour change depending on if he's in normal boi or 1 mode??#idk i'm still workshopping this a little lol #the hoshi10 merge i had figured out in my head weeks before i drew him but this literally just happened sdkjfhsf so ......#I would pay money for a proper reference picture of 1 because there is so much of the design i don't get sigh #will probably have reno done tomorrow as well he's almost there ehehehe just need to clean up a little #kaiju boyfriens all together <3 #I wish i could have incorporated his suit more :c #i like to think of this au as the suits actually merging into their bodies + some funky kaijufication #but the 1 suit doesnt have any cool features like the 10 tail ;;#except for the spine i guess which i will defintiely use but stillll

What if I. Miles Chainsawctopus Spaghoffee. Wanted to upload my Victor Jenkins Stardew Valley Expanded Portraits to NexusMods. But my brain said. REDRAW IT!!!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!! Anyway here's a sheet of my Victor portraits + seasonal outfits that I drew months ago, it's actually V2 cause he wasn't chubby enough in the original (and now I'm looking at this again and he's still not chubby enough so maybe I should do a V3, O U G H —)

Would anyone want this version as it is though? If so then I could try and upload the actual individual outfit sheets on NexusMods one day, you'd need to use Portraiture to use it though cause I can't code for the life of me lol XP
