I cannot speak as a writer, since I have never posted anything to AO3, though I don't mind commenting as a reader.

I am... not a huge user of Ao3's search function. I do like the tags, if I'm wanting fics by pairing, and I find the hodge-podge tags for anything and everything in the fic some people put up to be amusing.

I like FFN's search function, even if I don't like the recent upgrade that turned it into a pop-up. The character A/character B sorting is slightly hit-and-miss since it covers anything that has been labelled with those two characters, whether it be het, slash, gen, hatefic, rapefic, friendship, etc, but the rest is something that has to winnowed out by going through the listings and reading summaries anyway. However that factor has been that way forever anyway, so I'm used to it.

I like commenting on AO3 better. It feels more community-like when one is allowed to have threads of discussion out in the open so other people can offer opinions. FFN feels like discussions are a dirty secret to be hidden in PMs.

Both sites have their positives and negatives. AO3 will likely gain more negatives as it grows, but frankly I don't have huge faith in FFN growing hugely more positive at this point because it has shown a long history of just how it handles things and I don't expect it to change any time soon, unless the site gets sold off to Big Business, at which time I will believe it would go down the proverbial gurgler.

Your preferences are your preferences. If you like FFN better, that's your prerogative. Just don't call anyone names for liking AO3 better (though I won't have too much problem if you call them an ass if they call you names for liking FFN).
