It's not always ego that restricts comments and fic to registered users only, it's often past experiences with trolls (not honest criticism) in the comments. AO3 is better than most places online, but it still attracts them.

good point. I've seen in the past, when tumblr armies were much more motivated, someone link a fic linked to them so they can pile on the author with threats even though none of them even bothered to read the fic before getting mad. it's less common now but less is not zero; if I wrote anything that someone from a touchy fandom could take the wrong way and send their hordes after me, I'd community-lock too, whether it's a pairing, a kink, RPF names, etc.

I've known people who have definitely been harassed for what they write. I lock some of my fics because

A) They've been available for awhile and I simply feel like that fic's had it's chance to get an audience and I "retire" it to registered users.

B) I'm nervous about the creator/actor/celebrity finding it. Fanfic is an internal thing for the fans, it makes things weird if the creator sees it.

C) I have someone in my life who lacks boundaries and I think they've already found my account. I locked down some of my weirder stuff to force them to go an extra few steps to invade my privacy.
