Fanfic in Work(s)
Hi there, this is a long shot, but anyone who is trying to message me on FFN about resuming my old fics, please know I've moved to A03. For the life of me, I can't get FFN to let me log back in.
But hopefully, by next week I can upload some of my old works to A03 and restart Ice Prince Alchemist.
Thank you all!

I read a review for a book about how the reader felt like it was a first draft...and idk, as a writer, that came off as such a slap in the face. It's not even my book, but I read it, and while everyone's entitled to their opinion, it was the furthest thing from a first draft. I've read first drafts. I've written first drafts. They are not the same. :') And this particular author, imo, is leagues above many of the literature I've devoured.
Sometimes I forget that most people have no idea how much work goes into a book, and that there are some people who need Every Question Answered. I haven't forgotten that art doesn't ever resonate with Everyone, though.
But I digress. Art is subjective, and often-times, personal. So if someone tells you your art stinks, just keep going anyway. Out of spite, if you have to. But mostly out of love.

yes i know heartstopper is "cringe" and yes I know you think it's not that deep but you've endured years of cringe oversexualized shows about high schoolers where the gays are delegated to sub plots I'm sure a few hours of queer people being safe and happy and loved won't kill you so please shut the fuck up

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!
Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.
Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3
Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.
Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.
Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.
Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.
Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!
