Hello
So I have a problem. One of my fears after looking back on the FA disaster that might still be happening is the fact that FA might be shut down for some reason (Which I don't 100% believe in but I'm a cautious person) and most of my stories I have on here don't have a downloadable PDF since I can be able to edit my stories if there is a mistake after posting them. (Meaning I'll have to copy and paste all of them rather than hitting the download button.) My laptop is running out of space and I haven't got a clue if my USB is spacious enough to fit all of my stories on there. If there isn't any warning about FA being shut down, should this something I might be worried about and if so, do I need to start getting them to a safe place before July? And I ask this because I don't have another place where I posted them and it'll take a long time for me to save all of my stories.

I would download them for my own peace of mind but I can't imagine the site is going anywhere at all. I always keep backups of everything though!

Unfortunately for me, I got no backups. But I do pray this site doesn't go down.

I would definitely save them for peace of mind if I were you! TXT files don't take up much space at all, you should easily be able to save them all

I can try but from the journal, I only put the stories in the subscription instead of a pdf


Definitely keep a backup! Even if the site doesn't go anywhere, you wanna make sure your art is available for you to work on, edit, or just enjoy whenever you feel like it, Internet or no.

Okay. It'll take a long time to get everything as backup.

No one, just a fear I have at the moment

Oh, ok, yeah, that new rule is causing people to leave this site
