i didn't want to be an ass about it and thought that the message on my ao3 profile would be enough, but it seems like people are ignoring it or haven't read it, so i'm making a post as well.
please do not share my fics publicly. as i said on my profile, i don't mind friends sharing them privately with each other if you have them downloaded, but please do not publicly distribute my fics. i took them down for a reason. additionally, i hope you know that if you're sharing them publicly you're making it that much easier for people to plagiarize me. also, please do not repost my fics.
please do not contact me asking for pdfs. as i said on my profile, i will only send out a pdf to the recipient of a gift fic who wants a copy of that gift fic.
if you enjoyed my fics over the years, thank you so much and i'm very sorry!
