If by "goofy ass" you mean "an activity engaged in by a statistical minority in comparison with the general human population" then yes, fanfiction is indeed a goofy-ass hobby.

And I like it that way: no real names, no legal weight, no money -- under the table and mostly in the dark.

I like that I can write sorcery-using slash porn and even if it magically became the most popular thing on the internet my name isn't on some list of royalty payers for some columnist to find and feature and now suddenly my pastor knows I write homoerotic fanfiction in my spare time. I like that when I'm being interviewed for a new job, my potential new boss doesn't even know what fanfic is most of the time, much less has an opinion on it, and most certainly can't find out what I write even if he/she did have an opinion. Because if fanfic is legal and registered and shiz, you know employers are going to see what you write just like they check your Facebook profile for racy pics that don't fit their "clean corporate image."

So, yeah, no. AO3 does not speak for me, and it pisses me off that they think they do.

I like it in the dark with my goofy-ass hobby that completely lacking in real-world complications.

PREACH ON, OP. PREACH ON.
