Okay, I'm going to lay this out here. I've been in fandom since I was 14 years old, and I'm near enough to 30 now. I have a number of stories on "at risk" archives. Some of them are under my Azarias screenname. Many of them are not. Some of them are linked to email addresses to which I have still access. Many of them are not.
I specifically forbid the Organization for Transformative Works from rearchiving my stories, under any screenname, for any reason. Any stories written by me that are uploaded to the Archive of Our Own by anyone but me are not only being taken without my permission, but specifically against my clear and simple wishes.
What steps will the OTW take to make certain that none of my stories, under any screenname, are imported to the AO3? Or is the OTW claiming the right to take stories against the wishes of the author, for the greater good of fandom?
