And on the converse side, I often have no idea what to reply to comments.

AO3 confuses me and makes me work for the privilege

I did find out today that videos can be posted there, but I've only linked to posts here - the set-up seems terribly complicated to me. I guess I need to look up tutorials?

I do like their philosophy though and the fact that they are willing to fight for the rights of fic authors and therefore deserve our support.

This is interesting - ff.net feels like it's run by machines albeit whimsical ones, and they will throw authors to the wolves. What do the folks at AO3 do to protect authors?
