AO3 & Saving Fics

I don't know if everyone else has been seeing the Tumblr posts about AO3 possibly going belly-up, but I wanted to post about it here just in case. Something about the board of directors changing hands, and the future not looking good for the organization that handles AO3.

I don't know how much of it is exaggerated internet gossip, but just to be on the safe side, I've downloaded all of my fics.

I don't just want to hang onto my own fics, but the archive of Lister/Rimmer fics is so vast that it would take me forever to download all of them. I already have several of my own personal favorites downloaded to my mobile, but if there are any of your fics that you think are your best ones, let me know. I really wish I'd made it a habit to automatically download my favorites as I read them, but when I first started reading Lister/Rimmer, I just surged through them like a Tazmanian devil. :-)

I thought this might be an interesting way to keep a kind of repository of people's works that they're the happiest with. If you were going to recommend some of your fics, which ones would you choose?

Re: no one is going belly up! no need for anyone to be scared about the future of the ao3

I was just going to comment with something similar but link to the posts that I read on the main page of AO3... I don't have to now.
Thank you. :-)
