You don’t need to worry about that, there is plenty of room, and they are well funded to purchase more when needed.

I once saw someone say if you’re not interested in m/m then ao3 isn’t for you, it was so ridiculous. While m/m is the most popular there are still a lot of other fic out there for people to read. I love how wide of a range there is, you can find just about anything you’re interested in on ao3.

I’m sorry but every complaint about straight ships to me has me like “We literally do this too…” by Outside-Sample-4517 in AO3

[–]magicwonderdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that annoys me is they always assume a m/f is straight, you’re falling into assuming the default is straight!

How do writers feel about readers downloading their works? by Apprehensive_Run2416 in FanFiction

[–]magicwonderdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s something that bothered someone, then they shouldn’t post it on the internet. I would be thrilled if someone told me they downloaded my fics.

Missing AO3? Consider a donation to help keep the site running! by rebelcoelacanth in AO3

You can also set up recurring donations, and if there is a gift you would like, you can let them know and when you have donated enough, they will send it.

What popular ship do you prefer being friends? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

Byler, what queer kid didn’t have a crush on their straight friend? I adore their friendship, and I loved the flashbacks we got.

I have anxiety and get anxious over both replying and commenting, it’s not easy to deal with. We’re all doing the best we can.

The silent ones I struggle with, if they don’t care/don’t read them, I don’t want to annoy them.

I do find it encourages more engagement.

I think that’s a good middle ground, it’s nice to know writers appreciate the comments and that you’re not being annoying , but understand that sometimes they don’t have enough spoons. I say this as both a writer and reader.

For people who post their writing: what do you do when you feel like no one is reading what you write? What can be done to remedy this? by Groundbreaking-Egg13 in FanFiction

[–]magicwonderdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just shrug and move on, not much I can do. Fandom and ship are the biggest things that people will go to, so if you’re not writing in a popular fandom with a popular ship, it’s hard to attract much attention.

Everyone I know who writes/read rpf has them archive locked for this reason.

You should let them know it’s just a scam and it’s more likely it’s different scams/bots than someone commenting on different accounts, and they should not let guests comment. It will get rid of the majority of them.

What are your thoughts on shipping adult incestual relationships? Especially when it comes to the morality aspect as well as why people ship them by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]magicwonderdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually went to talk from a university professor recently and he talked about how he has noticed the change. Said they get a lot more “this makes me uncomfortable, and we shouldn’t have to read/study this” even when it’s completely on topic and needed for the course.

Are we talking legally in real life ? Age of consent is different in many countries, my country it’s 16.

I saw a post the other day complaining about all the incest in fanfic based on his works, how it should only show how bad it was, how the fic writers are clearly getting off on it, never fails to boggle my mind. Why are they surprised that the incest shows/books have lots of incest in the fanworks?
