I discovered AO3 in college when I was suffering from a book hangover after reading Hamlet. I found so many great stories that filled the gaps, and I also found a space where people from all over the world were into the same things I liked. If it wasn’t for the work of OTW, I would not have made the friendships I have nor become the person I am today.
I can’t recommend enough of AO3 for fandom and original stories. Whether it’s just scrolling through OTW’s different projects or donating, anything and everything helps preserves fans, fandom, and fandom culture. ☺️💜📖
