A word about linking to fic at Ao3....
Aug. 16th, 2024 06:03 pmEvery fic has, really, a few different ways to link to it.
Many people link to a fic with a URL that looks like this: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24138799/chapters/58120888
Do you see that word chapters in the URL? This link will take me directly to the first chapter in chapter-by-chapter view, which would be great if I wanted to read the chapter-by-chapter view.
Personally, I prefer the view full work option: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24138799?view_full_work=true
However, I get that many people don't like that option. You can accommodate everybody at once (or everybody with an account, anyway) by linking directly to this option: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24138799
When you do it that way, the site will send it to whichever view you have saved in your preferences.
Anyway, yes. This is my formal request that everybody stops linking to the chapter-by-chapter view and just links to the fic directly. If you tend to post the URLs bare, rather than as links you'll see that the URL is a smidge shorter than the other two options as well, because you don't include anything after the work's own ID.
