Why are adults, who are probably closer to near 40 and beyond than 30, yelling at a literal child for something they can ignore? "Oh, I figured out this person may be an eighth grader, let's be mean to her anyway!" Pathetic.

I don't get this either.

Agreed, it's super grinchy. And if all those ficlets aren't actually chapters of one larger work, it's totally valid for them to be posted as individual stories. The person that yelled at them for that has issues.

They’re obviously not the OP, you’re reaching because you’re a contrarian.

Indeed, wtf. Props to that kid for not letting haters stop them.

(And I say that as someone who would never, ever read the fic in question, hahah.)

Right? The kid's using the archive the way it's meant to be used, for fuck's sake. Not their fault AO3 still hasn't rolled out a block or blacklist function.

Yeah, I've seen fics like this - prolific authors post a ton of very short, very bad, very OOC fic and can't even write a summary that sounds appealing - but I just scroll on by. Some people like to make a big deal about how writers need constructive criticism to help them improve, but A) this doesn't sound like constructive criticism, and B) the teenager who wrote embarrassingly stupid, shitty fic is going to realize, eventually, that the fic was embarrassingly stupid and shitty without any "help."

Yes, there's certainly something to be said for concrit, but there's also a lot to be said for just...letting people have fun with their hobbies. Not everyone always wants to be the best at everything they do in life. Sometimes they just want to have fun and some people just don't seem to understand that.

When this teenager grows up and looks back on their stupid shitty fics, even if they're embarrassed by them, I hope they look back on them with fondness, remembering the fun they had writing them.

This is my hope for them, too... I just want them to be happy and have fun because god, isn't that what we're all doing here? They're just a kid and they're trying something that's obviously new and they are HAPPY with it so ... I feel like the girl from Mean Girls who didn't even go there...
