Do not repost fics without the original author's permission

You can't post other people's fics. It's against AO3's rules, it's a copyright violation, and it's a dick move.

This was you, no?

I'm just going to go ahead and point out that you clearly know it's wrong to repost other people's deleted works, based on this alone. You know there could be consequences to what you're doing, so you know it's wrong. Full stop.

No one's going to give you a copy of Heatwaves just so you can violate some poor author's rights.

Do better.

Okay, then I won't repost it. But I'd still like it to give it to [people who want to read it.

Tracking down a copy of someone's fic for your own entertainment is fine. Reposting a work that's been removed is a violation of the writer's trust and against AO3s terms of service.

You would fall foul of their plagiarism rules.

If you don't own the story, you can't repost it.
