@fullmetalyuri i think that the only problem i found is the lack of details on the new version compared to the old one that may be throwing people off bc this is simply a different style choice, i see the improve and better anatomy in the new one and i personally like the thick lineart
the only solution i can think of is to warn the reader from the beginning, or for AO3 to create an option to disable downloads as an optional for the author. whether it's for just one fic or all the fics that the author as a user creates.
@leonkennedeys now that i've finished, i can say that there's something in this fic that i'll remember forever; it's what it says, it's what it feels, what i feel, it's beautiful.
@IVM103 personally, i don't mind it much, but i do like it when they sometimes follow a general line of canon events or small related things, but it's not a requirement.
nothing personal against atyd, but there are many legal issues being overlooked when a fanfic is rewritten and published as original; anne rice has already been there... and I'm very aware that it all started with dramione fanfiction.
