if you don't have an ao3 account, join the waiting list and get started. most of my fics are now locked to logged-in users only because of AI bots trawling the site - and you won't regret having access to your own bookmarks library, either!

Do you make any changes to your fics/chapters after they've been posted on AO3?
Yes - I rewrite/change entire paragraphs or chapters
Yes - I make minor edits (replacing/removing a word, rephrasing a sentence)
Yes - but only to correct typos or other errors
No - once the text is posted, it is set in stone forever
I don't write fic/results button
This is something I'm so curious about; I reread my own fics constantly, and somewhat frequently I will pause my reading to edit the chapter I'm on - little things like deleting an extra/redundant word, or rewriting part of a sentence that I was happy with at the time of posting but which now reads weird, or very occasionally reordering a couple paragraphs so they flow better. I'm wondering if other fic writers also do this?
Also, fic readers: is this something you ever notice when re-reading a story? How do you feel about it?
Spambot Comments on AO3
As spam continues to be a problem on AO3, here's an update on the types of spambot comments you may see, what we're doing to combat them, and how you can help! Read more at https://otw-news.org/mr42w8j9
Errors Accessing AO3
We are investigating reports of errors when trying to load AO3, including errors saying that AO3 is down, which seem to be related to the previous incident. We will update when we have more information!
Posted: 22:36 UTC 02 March, 2026
AO3 is now fully down. After performing a software upgrade a few days ago, we've been unable to keep our server cluster healthy due to what we believe is a bug or issue with the new release of our database server software.
We're working with our vendor's support team to understand the cause and whether reverting or upgrading further will best resolve the issue without continuing the cycle of up and downtimes.
We do not currently have an estimated time for when we will be back up, but we expect it to be multiple hours at minimum. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update you when we know more.
For updates refer to our status page.
Posted: 03:16 UTC 03 March, 2026
Following guidance from our vendor, we've brought AO3 back online to help troubleshoot. We expect the site will go back down, although we don't know when that will happen.
If you choose to post or update your works while AO3 is up, we strongly recommend making sure you have a backup of any text you are attempting to post.
For updates, please check our status page.

fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.
“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”
if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.

come to a decision (just hold my hand)
It’s the fourth time after they do it, sprawled over each other in Will’s bed, that Mike lets his head roll towards him lazily and says: “I think I might be gay, dude.”
college byler idiocy. lots of banter, humor, and actual tenderness too.
Absolutely a sucker for the “ARE YOU HURT” once over. The wandering hands, frantically checking for blood or pain just SOMETHING. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of what they might find while searching. The panicked look on the face of the person doing the checking, the glossy, confused “I’m fine” from the person being checked. HOO BOY just inject that shit right into my veins
