There's a shout out on TumblR for saving all the works here 'cause of the current changes - is this exaggerated or should we save all our favos for better safe than sorry?
(Disclaimer: I'm not speaking in any official capacity, just another user.)
Definitely exaggerated. AO3's not going anywhere because of this mess -- as noted above, it will be working as usual. Of course, you (general you) may want to download backups of your favourite fics just in case the author deletes them (and you should definitely have backups of your own work somewhere off-site, always!) but there's absolutely no reason for the kind of panic I've seen around Tumblr.
That's definitely exaggerated. AO3 is not in any danger, and there's no reason that anyone's work would be deleted. We do always recommend that users keep backups of their work (and remember, don't compose on the upload page), which is good practice no matter where a work is hosted.
Kind regards,
Kiri Van Santen, OTW Communications Committee Co-Chair
