sharky July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 (edited) The only way to do it at FF.net is to cut and paste yourself. AO3 gives you a one-touch option to download the story in several different file types. So what I did was download the PDFs to my tablet and then I could read them offline while on my flight. Its just a much easier way to do it. There are also some other cool options with AO3 that I prefer to FF.net like a Kudos button for stories and bookmarks, which I just prefer to the following/favorite option on FF. If you haven't used AO3 yet, you should definitely check it out. It doesn't have as much fanfic but what it does has is generally more quality than FF -- at least in my opinion. That being said, I do post my fic on both just to reach a wider audience. /end loquacious jibbering ETA: Or download from FF the way daxx suggested. Also Neighborly Affections is smutty but good. Same with Sex Ed with Killian Jones, which is a few more chapters ahead on FF than AO3.

Oh! I'm glad. :-) That ghost!Hook fic haunts me to this day (couldn't resist). The only way to do it at FF.net is to cut and paste yourself. I can never copy paste from ffnet, though.

Then just ignore everything I said about FF.net apparently. :) Although that does make me wonder because you can copy/paste from AO3 and someone actually plagiarized my work once by posting my story on FF.net. I always assumed she just stole it from the site, but she must've grabbed the text from AO3. Ah, to be plagiarized. I was both offended and flattered.

RadioGirl27 July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 (edited) Put Me in Coach is my favorite fic right now and I want more than two chapters! It's so good. I was dying reading the most recent chapter. It was so sad... I'm European and baseball is not my thing, so I wasn't going to read it, but everyone around here said it was so good that I decided to give it a try. And, you all were right, it is really good, one of my favourites right now. But I'm happy it's going to end soon, I hate those fics that are unnecessarily long, those that tell every chapter from three or four different point of view.

FanaticalWriter July 29, 2014 Share July 29, 2014 Ao3 does let you use a pen name, but it still shows the original name in parentheses next to the pseudonym, at least in my experience. I personally don't find it to be a bad thing, since it helps connect my FF.net and Tumblr names both with my AO3 account, but if someone wanted to truly be anonymous with a work, that might not be the route to take. Maybe someone who is more familiar with AO3 will know if there's a way to turn that off or something; I'm still in the process of gradually transferring fics over to there.

Their relationship didn't follow traditional gender roles (i.e., Spike was always the one who wanted to talk, Buffy was emotionally unavailable) and there's magic in the mix, so it wasn't a big stretch to go from switching roles to switching gender. It can get a little confusing at times, but I find it interesting if done well.
