AO3 is a better archive than anywhere else, though. People say you should post on Fictionpress - but it doesn't have AO3-style tagging.

And it's not like there's any harm being done that I can see. It's trivial to exclude original work if you want.

[(Anonymous)]

No way, I love the original stuff on AO3. It hits all my favourite tropes without having to know a fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Since I'm always searching for a particular piece of media or a particular pairing, I never come across this (I do get stuff with original characters, which I don't mind because it's usually obvious from the summary if the fic is going to be all about the OC and not the canon characters).

If your searching by a kink or trope or something, yeah, you'll get original works, but I don't see how that's worse than getting returns for some anime I've never heard of.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I think people should learn about AO3 and that it doesn't then own copyright on your work like Wattpad does.

[tabaqui]

Well, it's easy to filter that out in your searches, so....?

Me, I like it. I've a few authors I follow who post original stuff all the time and it's damn good, so...no issues here.

[(Anonymous)]

What about my poorly-written genre non-porn?

(I literally only post original works to AO3 because I don't really have anywhere else to post them and don't feel like going into the effort of submitting to fiction magazines. If people like my fanfic, they might like my original stuff too I think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[(Anonymous)]

you know whenever these kinda secrets and comments say "and all of [thing i don't like] is shit anyway" I'm always kinda suspicious and unconvinced. Yes, I'm sure you take the time to vet out the bad stuff and instead of looking at the first page of the tag, and I'm SURE you're not biased or conveniently leaving things out. It doesn't ever convince me that the majority of what they dislike is poor quality, it just convinces me they're a petty and spiteful person who thinks their tastes are objective quality.

Also why should everyone stop posting something on a site just so you don't have to see it? Thats really just being utterly self centered.

[(Anonymous)]

-10 take, I love occasionally going through the Original Works tag, you can find fun things there.

[(Anonymous)]

Is anyone forcing you to read original works on AO3? 99% of it is fanfic (allegedly; yes those AUs that bear little actual resemblance to canon still technically count) so I don't see how it's hard for you to just ignore that tiny amount that isn't. I've never tried looking for original fic there and thus never run into it, problem nonexistent!

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. It's requested a lot in themed fests and exchanges, and AO3 is absolutely the logical place to put it.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, but it's in the perfect spot, anon. All fanfiction is just poorly written genre porn, when you get right down to it. The IPs add zest.👌

As long as it is equal opportunity (and filmed the same way for both rather than filming it as sexy women and wish fulfillment bodies for men), I'm very much for this.

If it isn't in the narrative, then it doesn't exist in canon. The narrative is the canon, and if an author wants credit for some stuff they didn't put in the narrative, then they better come up with some m ore of it. Even a short story collection of drabbles will do.

I think most people think this (but unlike the rest of them, I'm right when I think it)

Eh, I get what you say but it very much does happen to male side characters as well. Basically, as long as the characters are not the two main romantic leads, everyone is just there to further the plot for them.

I'm just a lot more picky about art, so I never request it.
