Very good information for any fanfiction feader on AO3.

A quick tutorial on how to Download Fics from AO3

After making this poll about the panic that comes when Archive of Our Own goes down, there seems to be a chunk of folks who didn't know they could download fics for offline use, or don't know how to go about it. Here's a quick tutorial for that.

You do not need an AO3 account (unless the fic you are trying to download is restricted to AO3 users only) you only need an internet connection and a device to download to, whether it's PC or a phone.

These instructions work for both desktop and mobile. At the top of the fic, where the chapter index is, there will be the download option on the right side, and an 'Entire Work' button the left side.

For One-Shots: Go ahead and click the download button.

For multiple chapter fics: In order to have the fic download all together instead of downloading each chapter individually, make sure you select the 'Entire Work' button. Like the names says, it displays the entire work on the webpage, and will download the entire fic with all it's chapters in the correct order when you go to download.

Click the download button. You've got a couple of options:

AZW3 - Amazon-developed ebook format that is designed for Kindles and Amazon's systems. Good if you want to read off of a kindle.

EPUB - Standard file format for Ebooks and is basically used as the default for pretty much most ebook readers. This is what I prefer to use when downloading to my phone.

MOBI - An older version of the AZW3. Older but standard as well.

PDF - Downloads the fics as a PDF. Can be read anywhere you can open a PDF.

HTML - Downloads an offline version of the exact webpage you are looking at. Fine if you want to keep the 'look' of AO3 but you can't change the text size or reading style like you can with ebook formats.

Not sure which one to download? Use EPUB since it's standard and readable by pretty much everything, retains images too.

You now have your fic downloaded to your device and can read it on whatever reading app you have. YAY!

Do keep in mind that these are offline files that do not synch with Archive. So if you download an ongoing fic that updates or is edited since you last downloaded, you will need to download it again to have the updated version.

Happy Reading!

Cute!

Underfell Sans is ready to give you a bad time.

Oh my God, I love this James and Jessy as parents with 2 daughters with Meowth as their guardian friend. I also love the fact that James is the one wearing the baby carrier while Jessy has meowth on her shoulder.

It's also obvious that they are scared (likely worried about it hurting their daughter or her sister) by the Galar meowth and Meowth is like "yeah, this isn't going to end well."

Jules found a friend during the family trip to Galar

... Why is this something I want to watch?

Potential egg news time! Or just lore update Phil side from both Monday and tuesday (I was still catching up on Monday and am still working on Tuesday). Go watch vods or such first.

Ok, so Phil woke up again Monday to find Black concrete in his basement taking the place of his protected blocks leading deeper into his bace where he finds a mass of black concrete with what most are positive were messages from Chayanne and Tallulah (I gotta agree, that sounds exactly like the two) as well as items that represent the two. With Chayanne's message asking if he failed his family and Tallulah's saying she is scared. Fit come to Phil's base soon after and Phil shows Fit what happened, only to learn the same happened to Fit.

The two discus whether this is happening to any of the other parents, and after some strange stuff with Mic and the server deciding to have a day of rule breaking to try and get some information off Cucurucho the two ask Baghera, BadBoyHalo, and Forever to check any private safe areas for any of the black concrete.

Philza, at Baghera's suggestion, adds some messages for his kids to his concrete in case these messages are not only one way.

Phil also added a security camera to look at the area to see if he gets a reply.

The next day Philza fills Tubbo in on what happened before the entire group goes on a rule breaking spree and tries to grief or destroy Federation buildings/areas, only to get punished. However while in the middle of this the group visited Foolish's dragon and found black concrete with a message from seemingly Leo on it (I don't know what it said, can't read it and I am still trying to catch up on the vod). After which some spying happened, but it does not look like anything lore related happened (or at least nothing Egg lore related), and the spying was... Not well executed.

If that black concrete is a way to communicate with the eggs instead of just being the federation messing with the server members then this could start to provide us with answers from the eggs on what is going on and might start to point towards how to save them and what is the big threat.

I like.

"The Monkey King named the four senior apes as his four Stalwart Generals: he named the two bare-bottomed apes Marshal Ma and Marshal Liu, and called the two gibbons General Beng and General Ba."

~~~~~~~

My take on the Four Stalwart Generals! I did take immense liberties with their appearances in an effort to give them distinct looks and personalities.

included are their individual portraits:
