Yes, you can write original stories on AO3, but I heard they don't get as much attention as fan fiction tho
Yeah you can. I think you would put it under the original work fandom tag.
https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Original%20Work/works
It will get at least some attention if you use relevant content tags
Wait, now I've seen someone on Reddit saying that original work can be taken off the archive if it’s not at least loosely tied to a fanfic now I'm confused. I thought pure original work was allowed on AO3 ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ty guys! I'll leave a link to it, I hope you read it and give me your opinions! (Not forcing you to)
It is from what I've seen. If someone's original work got removed it was probably because the author violated the site terms and conditions somehow
Oh, ok
Use Wattpad
Done! https://www.wattpad.com/story/389610307?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_writing&wp_page=create&wp_uname=SageRaet
(If you couldn't tell I'm really excited about sharing this)
Why should they use Wattpad?
Original stories get more attention on wattpad than on ao3
Really? I didn't know that
Is ao3 strictly for fanfics or could I upload my original story there? (Never really used it, shocking ik)
I've started writing a lil something and want to upload it somewhere but idk where. Preferably somewhere with a comment section cuz I wanna see what people think of it.
