Brief, weird announcement
Added 2026-02-16 22:54:34 +0000 UTCComments
Friend of mine prefers as well 'Scrible Hub'. However, IMO people for fanfics, instead of selfmade novels first go to ff.net and AO3. I for one like Scrible Hub too, even more so that one has to narrow down their tags to to the most important ones, instead of the tag-slaughterhouse on AO3. Despite all this, if I search for new Ranma stories I still go ff.net and AO3 first.

2026-02-22 15:54:24 +0000 UTCGood luck. Once the admins there get a bug up their ass, they won't accept ANY workarounds. I stopped using AO3 completely as they did that to my fics and utterly refused any of my fixes. Even when I removed all direct mentions of Patron, and just told people there was more of the fic they could find by Googling it, that wasn't enough for them. Which is complete BS, as their Terms of Service do NOT outline rules that strict. By the time I went several rounds with the admins I ended up removing all my works voluntarily from AO3...and refusing to even read anything on the platform again. They were that utterly dickish. I've had FAR more luck with Questionable Questing and Scriblehub. Your fics, in particular, would likely do well on QQ, as they have MUCH HORNY energy there and will approve deeply and possibly disturbingly of your harem pairings :-p. They are certainly Enthusiastic when I do multiships in mine...

2026-02-17 17:58:06 +0000 UTCYeah, me too. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles in A03.

2026-02-17 07:33:43 +0000 UTCYou will have to remove all mention of patreon as I know that happened to another author who had a person actually report patreon mentioned where they had to remove all mention of patreon from every single chapter after there works were removed for a month

2026-02-17 05:07:40 +0000 UTCNo, AO3 doesn't do content moderation like that, they're an archive system. There is quite a lot of adult work on there. There is a chance the moderators got flagged down by the large volume of chapters (some people enjoy reposting other authors' works for some reason), but it was likely hidden due to references to Patreon or another form of payment system. AO3 are death on that sort of thing.

2026-02-17 04:50:32 +0000 UTCFam, the linktree is the loophole. They can't or won't enforce that. But they obviously won't ignore direct links to murky stuff like fanfic author's patreons.

2026-02-17 02:42:48 +0000 UTCAo3 is admined by a bunch of cunts. As others have mentioned, if you've directly brought attention to patreon or made statements bringing attention to "commercialization" they lock your shit. But if you include a linktree or something like it with your ff, ao3, idfk twitter, and a patreon that's somehow fine?

2026-02-17 02:27:14 +0000 UTCNot only your profile appears empty of works, but it deleted the copy I had in the app. Grrr

2026-02-17 01:30:07 +0000 UTCWhat! I didn’t even know you where on ao3? I’m down for character info :)

2026-02-16 23:04:28 +0000 UTCIs it possible you mistakenly left some patreon info in a posted chapter? Only other thing would be some a.i. Script that does not know that you are the OG crossposting for more exposure flagged it and admin just could not care too look too deep.

2026-02-16 23:02:22 +0000 UTCThat's really weird. One of the only things AO3 enforces is not allowing references to patreon and such, so their legal defenses against media owners is rock solid. But getting everything hidden by an admin? Never even heard of that happening.

2026-02-16 22:58:56 +0000 UTCAO3 is extremely strict on not being allowed to mention Patreon/Ko-Fi/SubscribeStar etc. That might be why.
Forrimus
2026-02-16 22:58:20 +0000 UTCwhile I'm not 100% sure about this, but is it due to admin checking for adult content/review or since you uploaded everything in one go? could be to checking for bot spamming or something.
