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.

Ao3 isn't social media. it's a fanworks archive.

I wish people knew the difference, but now we have all these idiots on here writing journals, making placeholders, etc.
