The only times I've ever gone near FFN in my over 10 years in fandom have been for recs to specific stories that sounded enticing enough to look at and I can't find it elsewhere. Probably amounts to no more than a dozen times total in all these years.

I'm very happy arbitrarily ignoring FFN entirely. I also don't read stories at AO3 that mention crossposting to FFN. Right or wrong, I take that as a sign of poorer quality and am fine with my personal scale of judgement.

And I've never run into the problem of a friend posting there because, if any of them did, they also posted to an archive or personal website. Mostly, I'm pretty sure most of my friends also ignored FFN back before the AO3 arrived. FFN never came up in discussions of fic or rec lists in my fandoms, etc, back in the day.

One thing is that I'm a slash-only reader. FFN seemed to be more over to the gen and het side of things, though that's my outsider view, of course.

Yeah, AO3 is the home of smut and couch cuddling AUs, that is fer sure.

Don't forget the wall of tags so you don't really know what the fic is about, and serves only to make sure it turns up in everyone's searches.

[(Anonymous)]

The wall of tags argument makes no sense. Anyone can abuse tags, sure, but if you don't provide them as an option at all, how is that *more* helpful? You can search on the same params as FF.net on AO3 and leave tags out of it entirely if you want to, so. At least the tags give you a better idea of what's in the fic once you have them listed. And if a writer puts up a ridiculous wall of tags, then you know off the bat they're not worth your time.

Kind of like FF.net in general for me, actually. About all it's good for in my fave fandoms is long, gen whump fic. None of the good slash writers in my fandoms use it.

Are you the same anon who thinks that tumblr should be banned because then we'll have meta and gen fic again

[(Anonymous)]

No. I would like tumblr to be banned, but that is a different matter entirely.

[(Anonymous)]

How much slash, gen or het is in a fandom depends on the fandom, not the site.

[(Anonymous)]

.. and once again, it depends on the fandom. Older fandoms have tons of slash on FFN.
