well, its like i indirectly funding the movies that i love :P the more money the producers make from a movie, the more likely they will more more of the same! and i definitely want moaaaaaaaaaaaar of the new SW trilogy :D
and yes, i do the same with fics, since that horrific event 20 years ago, when i first joined online fic fandom. there was a great archive for Jarod/ms Parker (the old show the pretender), and it was running great, and i was young, and never thought about saving anything offline. one day, the archivist simply took the entire archive off the net, without warning or anything. i couldnt save a single thing. 20 years, and i am still traumatized by that thing. since then, no matter what i find online, fics or anything else, i am saving. i must have 60,000 fics across my fandoms since then on harddrive.
