As a writer, I wouldn't mind spelling corrections being made to my stories.

As an archivist: Well, a few years ago I ran an archive and I received a lot of problematic submissions. I did correct spelling in some of the stories, when I really couldn't stand how bad it was, but in retrospect I think I probably should also have posted a notice on my site saying I might do so if necessary. I think hardly anyone would mind if you just went ahead and fixed the mistakes without saying anything, but a notice is easy to add and keeps authors informed. And covers your butt just in case. BTW, no one ever said anything to me about my "help," so either they didn't notice, didn't care, or didn't want to make an issue of it.

As I'm formatting fics for the BBF archive, if I notice something minor, I'll definitely fix it (like a space between punctuation or something), but other than that, I'm pretty lucky - most of the stuff we're posting has been beta'd with a fine tooth comb.
