Me: Oh no…
Other AO3 Users: What is it?
Me: Points with a shaking finger at the stampede approaching on the horizon
Other AO3 Users: …Are those—
Me: WATTPAD USERS.
Other AO3 Users: OH GOD. THEY FOUND AO3.
Me: They're not gonna understand the tagging system.
Other AO3 Users: Oh no…
Me: THEY'RE GONNA REPORT THE FICS BECAUSE THEY THINK THE TAGS ARE CONTENT WARNINGS INSTEAD OF SEARCH FILTERS.
Other AO3 Users: EVERYONE GRAB YOUR BOOKMARKS AND RUN.

AO3 is an archive, wattpad users. It's not a social media site and it doesn't have an ingrained algorithm. You will not get famous. Your fics will not be recommended automatically by the system. You post your fics for the love of the game, that's it.
Ok but if you, as a civilian, got tossed into a warzone with Tier 1 operators, what would you do? Because tbh i'd nope out even if they're hot, broody and mysterious. I dont have the emotional bandwidth for this bullshit. Survival first 😭
