Do you not have any invites left? Because that is the only reason I can think of you for not being able to send an invite to yourself.

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'd guess it's the one username per email. I could send invites to myself at other emails. Making a second (third, fourth) email should be easy but I kinda get OP's wondering why one email can't have multiple unrelated accounts. To slow down abuse? "We invested pseuds why can't you use that?" idk man.

Just make another gmail, OP. I know it's not 2003 and we don't all have multiple yahoos, hotmails, and aols, but ffs it's that easy.

Do most people not have more than one email? That seems weird to me. I've always had at least 2, usually more like 4 or 5.

idefk anymore, man. I have three! But I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Kids These Days (TM) as they change everything about how we use the internet are also down to one email with 47 different social media accounts tied to it.

and yes all three of my emails have their own AO3 so I can keep my ancient 90s tv fics well away from my wrote-last-year anime fic.

I’d guess like AYRT that OP used all of their invite codes. We only got a handful and in the early days the sign up took months so it was really common to give them to our closest LJ friends. I just checked and I don’t have any left (signed up in 2010).

Just wait the couple of weeks and write in the meantime.

[Fandom: AO3]

The invite system sucks so bad. Why can't I send myself an invite if my account is years old? I want to write fic on a new account because I want to keep a new fandom seperate from my current fandoms.

Secret because I love AO3 otherwise. They are so important to the fandom ecosystem.

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 12:32 am (UTC)(link)

How long is the wait if you don’t have an invite? Last I checked it was only a few weeks.

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Why can't you send one to yourself? Is it just because you've used yours up?

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want an invite? I have never used mine.

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Herein lies the problem with AO3. The users are AO3 fans first, rather than fans of any show or movie. AO3 is their fandom, and they have fandom blinkers tightly welded to themselves.

Try fanfiction.net, other fan fanfic sites also exist.

ffn sucks and is dying badly from dev neglect, is the thing

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
They’re just a sentient piece of spyware that’s trying to feed their family on ffn. Ignore them and they’ll go away.

(Anonymous) 2025-10-10 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I am so confused by this response.

(Anonymous) 2025-10-11 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I like FFN.

I have a few codes left if the person who came up with the secret (who might or might not be the secret maker because sometimes others make the images, I don't know) wants one.
