I can understand an author's fear of someone else archiving a fic of theirs. You kinda want control over where your words end up. I get that. It's not like a library, where the story walks out of the building and for the next two weeks you don't have any idea about the people/groups that your plot's been exposed to. I can understand wanting to have someone ask you before archiving your fic. But... see, that's the thing.
It's called Archive Of Our Own!
