Snowflake Challenge 2026 - Day 4

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

This will be totally unoriginal, but one of the websites I visit more often is Archive of Our Own, so why not rec it?

Archive of Our Own is the Library of Alexandria of fanfiction and I will forever be grateful to the people behind it. If you get into a fandom "late" or are in a small fandom, interacting with other fans can be quite difficult, but with AO3 at least there's a fanfiction archive, somewhere to start from. I found so many beautiful fics there, and even if a story was posted years ago, I always try to leave a comment, even a short one, because I know how good it feels to get that email notification telling you someone took some of their time to let you know what they think of your story.

Beside that, being an archive, it works differently from social media: there are no algorithms deciding what I should "consume", I can search and filter fics based on my preferences, or even try something I'm not too sure about, just to find out I love it.

I really hope AO3 will be around for a very long time, because fandom wouldn't be the same without it.
