And to those saying "Why not add a dislike button? What's the harm?" Realistically? People will be abusing it by going out of their way to dislike fics that have ships/characters/tropes/tags/fandoms that they don't like. Every time there's a ship war authors will be flooded with dislikes, possibly on all their works regardless of what it is, because they dared to post one of the pairings. Young authors who are still finding their footing will be discouraged from continuing their works. Authors who have been around for years are already being put off from sharing their fics because of how prevalent the consumer mindset is in fandom and a dislike button would only make it worse.

The reality of a dislike button would be another thing chipping away at fandom etiquette and the sense of community we are struggling to hold onto. It will push more and more authors out of the space that was forged for them.

If you wanna get fic recommendations, find an actual social media platform (like tumblr) and follow some people/blogs that give out those things and who you like the recommendations of.

If you wanna narrow down the likelihood of you disliking a fic, use the tag feature when searching! Ao3’s tag feature is amazing!! You can exclude tags you know you definitely don’t want to read about and you can include tags that you want to read about! Use those!

You can also decide the order that fics are shown to you! You can sort them so that the works with the most bookmarks, comments, kudos, hits, word count, date updated, date posted, title, or author. The default is date updated, but can certainly change that. Once you hit “Filters” that’s the first option there. Just click the drop down bar and pick how you want them sorted. Use all those filters to their fullest. Find the fics you want that way. It takes work, but you can narrow your search down at least.

“That’s my husband,” Dean tells the trembling girl under his arm, beaming with pride as he ushers her out of the vamp nest. He covers her eyes as the entire building flares with angelic grace. The vamps don’t stand a chance.

“That’s my husband,” Dean shouts, pumping his fists in the air as Cas struggles to break the mechanical bull riding record at the local bar. Cas falls just short of Dean’s time. It may have been on purpose, but Dean doesn’t care as long as he gets a victory kiss.

“That’s my husband,” Dean says, spitting out blood with a smile. Some rogue British Man of Letters hovers over him, glancing at the door, the grip on his blade faltering. Someone screams out in the hallway. These guys don’t stand a chance either.

“That’s my husband,” Dean tells the cashier, leaning against the check-out counter as Cas takes a few preliminary steps in a pair of bumblebee rain boots. Dean gets a pair, too.

“That’s my husband,” Dean murmurs into the side of Cas’s neck, arms looping around his waist from behind, swaying in front of the bathroom mirror. He breathes in his husband, breathes in his home.
