you'll see the worst take to ever exist on here and when you click the profile it says "hollanov + buddie".

i keep seeing people referring to fic drives as work being shared without “reward” for the author and i have to be honest, it bothers me that people are posting on ao3 with their main motivation being recognition and reward. wanting comments and engagement is natural, but i think framing it as reward or a return for your work is kind of indicative that you don’t really understand why fanfiction exists to begin with.
fanfiction exists as a way for authors to express themselves, explore characters and identities and try things out. it’s a creative outlet and you should be writing because you want to do it. not because you want the attention it brings. we lose the culture and motivation behind fandom practices when we commodify them.
90% of y'all know nothing about fandom history and nothing about how ao3 operates. your opinion is worthless.

lot of ao3 writers are starting to sound like those authors that lose their mind over pirating
'feedback metric' 'engagement' you guys talk abt fanfic like it's a corporate job.
'zero benefit' what 'benefit' are fic writers supposed to be receiving from posting their fic for free on a publicly available website.... isn't the point of posting fic to entertain readers? what other purpose could there be?

wtf is the difference between 200 people downloading your fic off ao3 directly and 200 people downloading it off google drive.... there is none. you guys are so dumb.
fanfic writers are simply dying to be published authors who cry about piracy. pls just go do that and charge money for your books and stop inflicting your whining on us, jesus
people have literally been sued over fanfiction. the russian government arrested a fanfic writer this year. are you 5 years old.

Its like an insanely popular site that has millions in traffic each year with an incomprehensible ammount of data stored in almost 20 years of operation may cost a bit to keep up, or something
decentralisation of fanfic might not be feasible today unfortunately but genuinely, fandom culture would heal if we all went back to posting fic on individual blogs without fuckass 'stats' and only our friends read them
