As a fanfic reader who read fanfic for many years prior to AO3's existence, I have a lot of feelings--mainly respect and immense gratitude--towards AO3, for improving my fanfic reading (and writing) experience exponentially. It would be 'very odd' if I didn't feel gratitude for a site that improved my experience of my favorite pastime as much as AO3 has done.

+1000 I have a feeling most of the people who say that AO3 sucks have either never been in fandom without it or are antis.

A lot of people are just buttmad that AO3 won't censor content that they deem problematic in some way.

Original anon.

Nowhere did I say the website sucked, because it doesn't, some of it's functions could be a bit better but that's all. But thank you for having the usual knee-jerk reaction you Ao3 stans have when someone offers some of the most luke-warm crit of this website.

AYRT

I was not responding to you. I was responding to anon who responded to you. It's why my comment is under theirs and not yours.

Some of then like other fan fiction websites more. Which is fine. But some of them are militant and/or self-absorbed about it, and insist that AO3 is “objectively” worse than their favorite site because they don’t personally like some of AO3’s aesthetics as much as the others. I remember there was one argument some months ago between someone who insisted FFN was better than AO3, and someone arguing the opposite. Others joined in at some point, so I thought I’d do the same, and respond to one of the FFN fan’s posts that both sites have pros and cons, and nobody is objectively right or wrong here. They said “AO3 isn’t going to fuck you”. It was partly my fault for forgetting to put NAYRT or DA to indicate that I wasn’t the one arguing that AO3 was objectively better than FFN. But considering my response was saying both have good and bad points, that still stands out to me as a nonsensical and stupid thing for them to say. And to add insult to injury, some others responded to that person’s “sick burn” with things like “I loled”. And that was after I clarified that I was a completely different person than the one who has been arguing with them.

I find extreme haters of this website also very odd if that makes you feel better? Which was my point: anyone getting overly emotional over a fanfic archive, especially if they're going to have angry internet fights for or against it, really need to get off the internet for a bit.

It's just a website, it's not life or death.

DA

It's a website I've used almost every day for over a decade, it's been very helpful for my mental health and my creative drive, and I've met a lot of very dear friends there, some of whom I spend a lot of time with IRL now. It would be weird not to have some kinds of feelings about it.
