A friendly PSA for everyone migrating from Wattpad to AO3!

Commenting Etiquette

  • No Unsolicited Concrit: Authors post fanworks for free as a hobby. Unless an author explicitly asks for constructive criticism in their notes, keep comments positive and critique-free.
  • Don't Like, Don't Read (DLDR): If a story, relationship, or trope bothers you, hit the back button. Leaving negative comments over subjective preferences breaks core fandom norms.
  • Phrase Update Requests Politely: Demanding "Update soon!" can feel transactional. Pair your excitement with appreciation for the current chapter (e.g., "Loved this chapter, can't wait to see where the story goes!").
  • Short Comments & Emojis Are Welcomed: You don't need to write an essay! Leaving a kudos or a single heart emoji in the comment section is a totally valid and appreciated form of comment.

Tagging & Relationships

  • Accurate Warning Tags: Always select the appropriate Major Archive Warnings or explicitly mark "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings."
  • Distinguish / vs &: Use / strictly for romantic or sexual pairings (Character A/Character B). Use & exclusively for platonic or familial relationships (Character A & Character B).

Site Rules & Features

  • No Monetization: AO3 is a non-profit archive run entirely on donations. Selling physical copies anywhere on your profile or story text violates TOS and risks account suspension.
  • Public vs. Private Bookmarks: Bookmarks are public by default, and authors can see everything written in them. If you use bookmarks for personal ratings, critical notes, or reading progress, remember to check the Private box.

AND DON´T USE AI.

with the rise of conservatism these days its astonishing that big platforms are still allowed to change their layouts.

"they're stealing our jobs!" THEY ARE STEALING OUR BUTTONS FOCUS JERAMY !

another thing where I need non assholy conservatism: phones!

"They are forcing 700 new genders on us!" No they aren't michael that's your own business, what they ARE forcing on us are new ugly ass phone models michael!

im being so serious michael no one is making fun of you for wanting to hang onto your balls for the rest of your life, or mocking how time is running out before you will be forced to get a new set. You're body isn't refusing to keep making cells that are compatible with your balls so they stop working and you will be forced to get new ones.

can SOMEONE BE CONSERVATIVE ABOUT PHONES

the tiktokification of tumblr needs to be stopped

we don’t censor words here stop acting like a fool, when you censor words and tags people who have that word filtered due to triggers will still see it
