Again, let me emphasize that Open Doors exists because archivists want to maintain their archives but lack the resources to do so. No work that wasn't digitized and available online beforehand will be digitized or made available online as a result of importing.
Our view is that the archivist has been given the power to make hosting decisions beneficial to the collection and that their choice to back up or archive the collection in the Archive of Our Own is a decision like these others.
It's also worth noting, as I said, that anyone who wanted her stories removed from the SSA because of Minotaur's passing can't have that done as matters stand, because while the current archivists have the database, time and change have made the database hard to deal with. Importing is a way to allow authors renewed control, and we are publicizing that to the best of our ability.
