Actually, downloading a copy of a story is against TOS on AFF... That alone will negate this coming into affect. There is a reason it's there and will remain so.

Taking off my staff hat for a moment, and speaking just as an author, I would not be terribly comfortable leaving any of my original work up here if it were made easy to download it. My fandom stuff, well, it would be irritating as the hells to find it published elsewhere under someone else's name, but it's not something I could ever have published on my own for profit anyway. My original work, though... I'd be devastated. Seriously. Some of my oneshots in Originals are "outtakes" and character development bits for things I'd like to submit for publication. I understand that the vast majority of people download something to read with no nefarious intent, and would no sooner plagiarize than they would kick a puppy. I know nothing's foolproof, and a determined thief can copy and paste just as well. I just don't see the point of a fiction archive making it easy for people to steal, not when that archive hosts original works. That's strictly my opinion as an author, mind you, and it carries only as much weight as that of any other user here.

I am seeking story recommendation for slash between Harry and a Weasley male. I am looking for stories with Harry involved with Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, or any combination of those listed. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dravana

the problem with Plagiarizing is that there are people out there who work really damn hard at their writing, they spend many hours and days working on their characters and making their stories the best they can be. Writers take pride in their writing. As a writer (in the anime fandom), i would be really damn pissed if someone took my work, just changed the names or in some cases, just posted it without changes as their own. I wouldn't be comfortable having that option of people downloading my stories on here, I would just take them down and never post again.
