Firmly seconding almost all of this. AO3 is rad. It's miles better than the next best option, and a lot of the flaws people claim it has are heavily overstated, IMO.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about astolat's fanfic.

I think the most fascinating thing about astolat's fics, to me, is just how blatant the power fantasy aspect of them usually is. In most of her fics, it feels like everything is in service of it. I'm always left with the distinct impression that the narrative doesn't actually care about any other characters beyond how they can serve the underlying agenda of highlighting the awesomeness of the author's chosen fave. Even the other half of the central pairing often only seems to matter as a means for validating and admiring the power-fantasy character.

And like, there's nothing wrong with that, but it does always give me the distinct impression that I'm reading the really, really sophisticated version of some tween's fervid self-insert ID-fic or something.
