🌱AO3 Alternatives to Read While It’s Down 💚
When Archive of Our Own (AO3) goes into maintenance mode, it feels like half the internet’s library is gone for a while lol. Luckily, readers and writers have always been resourceful — there are plenty of other platforms to explore in the meantime!
At Bokbi, we know how frustrating it can be when your favourite site is unavailable. That’s why Bokbi exists: to give you a unified online reading tracker and library for all your stories across every platform. Whether it’s AO3, Wattpad, or something more niche, you can add links to Bokbi and keep track of your progress in one place!
Here are some great alternatives to keep your reading going while AO3 takes a mini break:
Fanfiction.net
One of the oldest and largest fanfiction archives online, still active with a huge range of fandoms. While its interface feels dated, its scale makes it a reliable fallback.
Dreamwidth
A blogging and journaling platform often used by fandom communities to host fic and discussion. Many writers cross-post AO3 works here.
Asianfanfics
Focused heavily on K-pop and Asian media fandoms, but includes a wide range of stories. It has a lively community and original works too.
Squidgeworld
AO3-inspired and part of the same fandom-friendly culture. Squidgeworld is smaller, but offers a welcoming archive for fanfiction writers and readers.
Tumblr
Right here, yes! Still one of the most active fandom spaces. Writers often share fics, snippets, and links through tags and reblogs — great for discovering hidden gems.
Booksie.com
This platform leans more toward original writing, but fanfiction is welcome too. A good option if you’re in the mood for something outside your usual fandoms.
Mediaminer.org
An older fanfiction site with a strong anime and manga focus. It’s a classic alternative for long-time fandom readers.
Wattpad
Popular for both original fiction and fanfiction, especially with younger and mature audiences. Wattpad also features community interaction through comments and voting.
AO3 going down is always a reminder of how much fandom relies on shared spaces. But the good news is that fanfiction and serialized stories are everywhere online — and Bokbi helps you keep track of them all.
Instead of losing your place or forgetting where that one story was posted, add your links to Bokbi and build your own personal reading hub. That way, no matter which site is up (or down), your library is always in your hands~!

💚 Bokbi > Spreadsheets 🌿
Before Bokbi, its creator was tracking their reading with a spreadsheet.
They logged fanfics from AO3, Tumblr posts, Wattpad, even the occasional web novel — all in one giant sheet. And technically, it worked.
But spreadsheets come with limits:
They’re designed for data, not stories. Everything ends up in cluttered rows and cells.
There’s no visual sense of a library — no covers, no quick “Currently Reading” or “Completed” at a glance.
Updating always feels like admin work, not part of the reading experience.
The problem isn’t that spreadsheets can’t hold information — it’s that they don’t feel good to use for this. They weren’t built around how readers actually read across multiple platforms.
Bokbi grew out of this frustration — a real solution for readers who deserve better than spreadsheets 💚

Me: just one more webtoon episode before bed
Also me: scrolls 63 episodes in one sitting... oh would you look at that, the sun comes up...
