2 | Omg hi and hello friends~ I never thought I'd see the day where AO3 could potentially be down for WEEKS but here we are :( But don't worry! You and I are going to get through this TOGETHER!! Luckily for you, your dearest nevermined17 has a serious obsession when it comes to cataloguing and downloading fics, so I'm hoping that I can be some help as we navigate these unprecedented times! ONCE AO3 IS BACK DON'T FORGET TO GO TO THE WORKS YOU'VE READ AND LEAVE A KUDOS AND COMMENT!!! Our dear authors deserve to know how much they are appreciated and loved! | ||
3 | SOME THINGS TO NOTE | ||
4 | This sheet is copied over from my HUGE tracking sheet that I've been working on for like, 4 years now. It SHOULD, in theory, have every fic that I have ever read and downloaded. HOWEVER, some fics may no longer be available on AO3, and I just haven't updated the sheet. If that is the case, you can DM me to see if I have it downloaded :) TLDR: Huge disclaimer that not all the information on this sheet may be 1000% accurate because I enter it all manually and get behind sometimes :) | ||
5 | These are only the fics I have read before! Unfortunately, you will not find everything. It's a lot of Yoonmin but there are other ships as well. Use the filters to help you find what you are looking for. If this collection doesn't ahve what you're looking for, I'm sure there are many other people out there who can help :) | ||
6 | IF THERE ARE AUTHORS WHO WOULD LIKE THEIR FICS REMOVED FROM HERE PLEASE DM ME!!! @nevermined17 on X/Twitter | ||
7 | Step-by-Step Instructions | ||
8 | 1. It may be a good idea to File -> Make a copy and have your own copy of this sheet so that you can sort and organize fics as you like | ||
9 | 2. Go to the "Fics" tab of this sheet. You will see that fics are organized alphabetically by title. There will also be the author name, ship, word count, AO3 rating, link, summary (copy and pasted from what was written by the author) | ||
10 | 3. Paste the AO3 link into fichub.net which allows you to download an EPUB copy. PLEASE NOTE that traffic is very high right now, so it may take a while | ||
11 | 3.1 Paste the link into the Wayback Machine at web.archive.org. Scroll through the calendar that pops up and look for a date that is colored in. Click on the time that pops up when you select the date. This should allow you to read the page as it was captured that day/time. Newer fics may not be on here. Again, traffic may be heavy as everyone scrambles in these first few days | ||
12 | 4. If the sites aren't working and you want a downloaded version, please DM me! @nevermined17 on Twitter/X. Please keep in mind that I will not be by my phone/computer 24/7 so it could take me a bit to get back to you but I will respond at some point! | ||
13 | 5. WHEN AO3 IS BACK UP GO AND LEAVE A KUDOS AND COMMENT ON FICS TO LET AUTHORS KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM BECAUSE CLEARLY WE ARE A MESS WITHOUT THEM ㅠㅠ Use the "Reading Tracker" sheet to keep track of the fics you've read during this time and later note the ones you left a kudos and/or comment on | ||
14 | 6. REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FICS IN THE FUTURE, FRIENDS!!! It's always good to be prepared :) | ||
