What's the big deal with AO3?
I joined Archive of Our Own (which I was strangely calling AoOW for some reason) recently and put the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
30kisses lists up there as a Collection for people to post to. Given the difference in format between LJ and AO3, I had to adapt some of the rules, but so far I think it's a great option. I've offered to "bang on the code" for the coders and test what I can, but I have yet to hear back from the Volunteer & Recruiting Team, which I just emailed earlier today.
I think I finally started reading ametafandom post that had me reading about how yuletide moved to AO3 and that got some people's knickers in a twist. I've never participated in Yuletide or really known all that much about it, so I wanted to read more. Some users felt shafted by mods freezing or deleting threads/posts asking about just why Yuletide's move to AO3 made other users unhappy, but the mods basically said: it's off-topic, it's debate, and we just don't want it here.
So users could host debates or explanations or whatnot elsewhere, but yeah, the community's for Yuletide, leave it at that, even in the comment threads of mod posts discussing the move.
But I am still curious: why do some people dislike AO3 so much?
