On the strict like, website side, I love AO3, I think the formatting is really great for reading, and the tags/warning system is great.
But if it was the only place I was posting fic, I’d get so discouraged. Especially re: the kudos/comments ratio. I like kudos! They’re great, it makes me happy to see someone liked a fic, but comments mean so much more, even if it’s just “CUTE!!” Like, my first ever prompt party fic has 42 kudos, and 0 comments, if I hadn’t gotten feedback from you guys on here, I probably wouldn’t have continued.
