You only got yourselves to blame. "Oh, AO3 is where all the good fic is at!" you said, sipping from your delicate china cups. Guess what: if you keep saying that, everyone wants to go play in the fancy playground.

Etilism in fandoms/nerd circles is beyond me.

And the ff.net purges and the ongoing decline of LJ have had nothing to do with this trend, of course. :P

Personally, I'd rather have AO3 active--even if some of the activity is not to my taste--than have it be a ghost town perched up on an ivory tower. So I'm mostly fine with this particular tradeoff; my scrollbar gets more of a workout, but there's also a lot more good fic for me to read even if it constitutes a smaller percentage of the total.

But this doesn't keep me from thinking that the decline in overall quality on the AO3 would've been a lot less dramatic if ff.net hadn't gone after explicit fanfic the way it did, forcing many plebefic writers to relocate abruptly, even though they'd been quite happy to stay on ff.net up to that point.

Pfff, seriously.
