ao3 is not a blog or forum

I’ve been there – I have lost count of how many times I had to go, “Hey I really love this fic, but I can’t remember the title or the author and I never bookmarked it.”

That being said, please don’t post a “Please help me find this fic” on AO3. AO3 is not a blog or a forum – it is an archive of fanworks and a “help me find the fic” post is NOT a fanwork. It clogs up the tags and is annoying as all hell.

Just checking – this is a violation of TOS and can be reported, right?

*sigh*

It can absolutely be reported, yep
