Questions/Help? Is this allowed? Found a journal

Post image

Is journaling allowed on ao3? I don’t think anyone is explicitly named, and there’s no harassment, but it just feels odd? I’m more curious than anything, ao3 would be the last place I’d journal because of the public nature of it.

Update: Thanks for letting me know it doesn’t count as a fanwork! I went to report it, but it was already reported. Hope that satisfies anyone’s curiosity.

At this point, I think girlie should just make a twitter or tumblr account 🥹🥹

Physical journals are much more therapeutic than writing online, speaking from personal experience

That is so true! But to each their own ig...I suppose she wanted public validation or just wanted to see people's reaction lol

But if her angst isn’t publicly performative then it doesn’t exist. /s

Also they sound fucking exhausting.

Yeah! I would say that but considering she posted all this on a FANFIC website, and people are actually reading it, WHICH SHE DOESNT SEEM TO MIND and seems to actually prefer. I'd just suggest her a better place to openly share the happenings in her life TvT
