Evening, all.

Earlier this week, a request was made for a fic. Someone nicely linked to a memories page that had the fic listed, but the author came in and asked that her fic not be shared. However, it seemed that people were emailing the fic to one another. I could be wrong, please correct me if I am. But this appears to be the case.

Please note: if an author askes not to have their fics linked to, please abide by this. If we upset the authors, we get no fic to read, and that would make us all pretty sad. Most are perfectly fine with us linking to their journals, and oftentimes have posted their fics to outside archives. Also, please be courteous about sharing fics. Try emailing the author to see if it would be okay to share their fics. Some may even be gracious enough to send you a hardcopy to keep on your computer. Trust me, I've emailed lots of authors, and they are generally very good about this. They will also at times unlock certain fics if there's enough of a interest.

Let's all remember to be considerate towards our fellow authors and readers.

K, SUN

The taking off in a snit, I wasn't talking about this particular writer. But I've known people who've done that. It just irks me when they do, cause chances are, they come back in a month or two and act as if nothing's wrong.

I commented to this particular writer, the one that prompted me to write this, and she was quite nice and accomodating. I'm thinking you misunderstood my previous comment.
