Isn't ff.net usually considered the worst? It's been called the Pit of Voles for years.

(I'm not against ff.net - it's better for some anime fandoms than AO3.)

I have no super-huge beefs about any of these sites, but I think the layout of AO3 is much more visually appealing than FF.net, much clearer and less cluttered.

Also, the population of FF.net seems to be getting younger and younger. I might be wrong, since I don't look at a wide cross-section of different fandoms there, but I find more and more stuff that is literally written by 12-year-olds. And that's fine, because young writers deserve a place to belong, too, but it's not necessarily what I want to read.

AO3 seems to have an overall higher quality of writing, at least for now, in terms of people who actually have mastery of basic spelling and grammar and can produce something coherent. That doesn't mean everything on AO3 is great, but I haven't seen anything on AO3 that was an utter mess in terms of the basic mechanics of writing or seemed to have been written on a napkin during 7th-grade homeroom.

What FF.net needs to do is disallow anonymous reviews, because from what I've seen, they are so often used for trolling and flaming.

Good for you for acknowledging the validity of a space for kid writers. You're absolutely right that there does need to be a space for them; I'd no doubt have taken advantage of such a space if it had existed when I was 12 and writing stuff.

I don't want to read the little bastards either, mind you, but it's nice they've got a clubhouse.

Or the Reeking Pit of Open Sue-age is quite amusing :)

Ahh, there's ALWAYS something worse. I don't know if this is still a thing at all, but back in the day people used to post fic on Quizilla, and THAT was the worst: the Pit of Scorpions.

I had totally forgotten about Quizilla!
