So You Want To Save An Ao3 Fic Onto The Wayback Machine...

so you want to save an ao3 fic onto the wayback machine...

ive seen way too many fics saved the wrong way so im here to remedy the situation <3

1. find the fic’s pure url. im gonna use one of my own fics as an example. so…let’s say you open a fic and copy the following url: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119/chapters/107299533

now what you’re going to do is get rid of the /chapters/107299533. that leaves us with https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119 which is the “true” url. if the fic you want to save only has one chapter and isn’t rated mature, explicit, or not rated then you won’t have to do this step and your url is good to go. plug it into the wayback machine and save it!

2. is the fic multi-chapter? if so, take the fic’s pure url and attach the following: ?view_full_work=true 

in the case of our url, it will turn into https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119?view_full_work=true and this will allow the wayback machine to capture the entire work at once

3. is the fic rated mature, explicit, or not rated? if so, take the fic’s pure url and attach the following: ?view_adult=true

in the case of our url, it will turn into https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119?view_adult=true and this will allow the wayback machine to capture the work directly instead of that screen that pops up asking if you’re sure you want to read a work with adult content

4. are both of the above conditions true? if so, take the fic’s pure url and attach the following: ?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true

in the case of our url, it will turn into https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true and that will both capture the entire work at once and bypass that screen asking if you’re sure that you want to read a work with adult content

5. is the fic restricted to logged in users? sorry folks i don’t know how to deal with this one, but if a fic is restricted by this setting then the author probably doesn’t want the fic archived via the wayback machine anyway…

now go forth and save your fave fics properly! good luck and god speed!

*When Harry "dies" he recieves a third option, which is go back in time and he does that. And when is time for old Voldy to return-* Harry: Cedric, I would love if you could win this shit, but I have to take this fucking thing alone or else you'll die. I'm not even kidding. Been there, done that and it wasn't fun for either of us. Cedric: Cedric: So, you used a Time Turner? Harry: Nah, I died at 17 and recieved 3 options; move on, go back to the moment I died or go back in time...I chose go back in time, sounded more fun and I could fix some shit up. Cedric: Cedric: Okay, I'll just send the red sparks for me then...Good luck, I guess? Harry: I'll need that. *In the graveyard, after Voldy has a body* Harry: *Stuns every Death Eater* Harry: It's just me and you now, Tommy. Voldemort: What the actual fuck? How did you break free?! Harry: That's something that should be between me and Merlin. Harry: And oh, btw? I know about the Horcruxes and I destroyed almost all of them. Harry, putting his own wand on his head: Avada Kedavra. Voldemort: Voldemort, to Harry: Potter? Voldemort, to his Death Eaters: What the fuck just happened? And why are you all useless bitches still stunned if he just committed suicide?! Harry: Because I'm not dead, motherkiller! Voldemort: What the fuck?! Harry: Now you can be killed, but for now I'm just gonna stun you and go back to Hogwarts with you and your little fucked up minions. We'll see from there. *Back to Hogwarts* Harry: I'm back with a few gifts, motherfuckers! The students: The professors: The parents: Fudge: Are those —? Harry, pointing to the DEs: Death Eaters, yes. Harry, pointing to Voldemort: And that's Tommy. Harry, pointing to Pettigrew: Oh and that's the traitor, the one who really got my parents murdered by Tommy, Peter Pettigrew. Fudge: Tommy? Harry: Yeah. Harry, seeing everyone's confusion: Oh, sorry, my bad! I forgot that not everyone knows Voldemort's real name... Harry, pointing to Voldemort: That's Voldemort. Everyone: *Screaming, panicking, fainting, throwing up* Harry: Oh, come on! He's fucking stunned and I could just kill him right now infront of everyone if that makes you all feel better! Fudge: Please, do that. I, as Minister of Magic, give Harry Potter a special permission to use a Unforgivable Curse to kill the one know as Lord V-Voldemort. Harry: Fine. Harry, pointing his wand to Voldemort: I guess it's bye forever now, Tommy. See you never. Avada Kedavra. Everyone: *Relief sighs* Moody/Crouch Jr: NOOOOOO! MY MASTER! Harry: Oh, forgot about you, honestly. That's not Alastor Moody, guys! That's actually Barty Crouch Jr on Polyjuice! Snape: And how do you know that? Harry: I just know. If you don't believe me you can wait until the effect of the potion is gone. Snape: Oh, we will. Harry: Okay, but can I please go to sleep then? I'm fucking tired. Dumbledore: Of course you can, my boy. Harry: Please, grandpa Dumbles, I'm not biologically yours, so don't call me that. Dumbledore: Snape: McGonagall: Flitwick: Sprout: Hermione: *facepalms* Hermione, grabbing Harry: Ron and I will take Harry away now, everyone! He's clearly exhausted... *Gryffindor common room, after Ron & Hermione dropped Harry into the boys dormitory* Ron: Hermione? Hermione: Uh? Ron: Did Harry really called Dumbledore 'Grandpa Dumbles' and got away with it? Hermione: Pretty much, yeah.

Hey Folks! So I've been asked about Hinny fic recs and to the anons who asked me about it, I'm sorry, I do not have a repository of HP fics as such. But I'd like to share the account handles of some of my fav Hinny authors/people who have great Hinny fic recs/metas.
