when artists don't want their fanart reposted, yall respect it. when writers ask for literally the exact same respect, yall demonize them.
delete your fics, please. people already downloaded them and other people really don't care, you are not as important as you think, and if you thought that let me tell you that all you americans authors that you can suck ass, an archive is by and for everyone.
am I being too harsh or "without the author gaining any site engagment" is absolutely stupid? ao3 is an archive, not a social media or a fic site. you shouldnt care about "gaining" anything.
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: https://t.co/YAyyoTDOpE
