Yup. They've been running on volunteer work and donations for over a decade. Monetizing the website would go against their very mission statement, so I trust AO3 with my life
i know a fanfic artist who wrote a fanfic about luke hemmings from 5sos that got published as an actual book and when she met him SHE BROUGHT THE BOOK AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT 😭 i would genuinely rather die instead of telling a celebrity that i wrote a fanfic about them
it's fun to make fun of cringey shit people got up to in middle school but fr, expressing interest in literature and arts should always be encouraged, no matter the result

the monumental door we just walked through has closed and locked behind us leaving us with no way back to the normal life we lived before that door opened
there have been points where ive been so embarrassed about what i had read that i emptied my entire library, despite the fact that i was the only who could actually see my library 💀💀💀💀
Me too bro. Like me currently having 52 google tabs open on my phone and 20 open on my computer, and like 5 parts of a fic in different google docs being made 😅
Me too! My Wattpad has so many books in my TBR and I have 48 ao3 tabs open. With ao3 fics I want to read I add them to homescreen and then categorise them by genre.
April 23rd will forever be known as the day that our Broski overlord opened her fanfic vaults and fed the starving masses, ending hunger and also somehow unemployment in all of Broski Nation
honestly i would rather launch myself off a cliff into an ocean of lava than show someone my ao3 reads, so if she does make a video on that i’ll bow down to her forever 💀
@@nerissa8531 yeah it has a comment section! You can have an account with AO3 or you can choose to do a lot of things as a guest/anonymous. I’m not sure whether you can leave comments as a guest though? I know you can leave kudos (likes) without an account though!
I genuinely respect this because I would never, EVER, be brave enough to share ANY fic I've read. Especially when I was a teenager...omg you brave girl
If you never had a sleepover where y’all giggled uncontrollably while reading out loud popcorn style the most unhinged fan fiction… were you even a girlie?
brittany my freshman english professor who is in fact a nun admitted to my class that she used to write star trek fanfiction in the 80s, I think your hobbies are more than justified babe
Brittany saying AO3 is for adults is so fucking true. It really is the professional league. AO3 authors deadass got mortgages and kids. They are so serious about their writing. I’ve read some of the most emotionally damaging media of my life there. And it’s endless. So many stories on AO3 have over 1 million words. It’s insane.
And Ao3 fics are like goddamn novels. Like- I just read a Leon S. Kennedy x Chris Redfield fic that was like 200,000 words and it's the most beautiful and tragic thing I have ever read. (I'm a gay trans man. Just clarifying because I know there are a lot of cis women that read gay fanfiction.)
no you’re so right! i’ve read some of the most gut wrenching, toe curling, delicious, fan fictions on that website. the amount of dedication and impressive vocabulary and figurative language on that website is astounding.
No cause i literally FINISHED all the fanfics 😭😭😭 literally stayed up at night reading every. gay. smut. and read all through the day… now i’m all watted out. Any suggestions?
No girl Wattpad 2022 is a completely different thing now. The authors on there are legit better than most NY times best selling authors. There’s obviously still a lot of those old Wattpad stories that was very poorly written by some 14 year old 7 years ago, but the content being produced today is on a whole new level.
fr!!! like some stuff on their is so good and don't even get me started on the smut? it's like poetic and hot and not raunchy and porny like some published stuff!
To say I screamed when you called out AO3…I didn’t realize you were such a genuine degenerate and I’m so happy to be fully represented. It saves me from having to be the one sharing my old fics.
its so relieving to hear brittany was absolutely obsessed with fanfiction the same way i was in middle and highschool 😭😭😭 it was so unhealthy but i can never regret it
as somebody who's been reading and writing fanfics for years, it actually makes me really happy to see someone basically normalizing it. its considered so "cringe" for whatever reason, as if its not the exact same as reading one of those romance novels made for 30 year old women.
It's probably because some people find it weird to fantasize about real people and make up stories about them. Like I see their point, but some fics are still better than lots of cheesy erotic novels that are actually published and sold for money
I was in high school writing GRAPHIC smut content that I had no business writing because I didn’t even kiss anyone until I was 17. You’re definitely not alone, sis. If I remembered my wattpad username, I probably wouldn’t even have the courage to go back and look at it myself. I think my soul would simply leave my body.
OMG the readings of YOUR OWN FAN FIC. I am screaming, crying, vomiting on the floor. I love this for you. I want more original authors to come forward and read their own fics. It is the content we truly need.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS SO VALIDATING AND RELATABLE 😭the EXTENSIVE research for a FANFICTION, the emberassing old shit in your wattpad library 😭going back to your old writing and finding it really impressive....HAVING ONE FANFIC LOWKEY POP OFF LMFAOO, this is incredibly validating thank you brittany
i love that we as a society can openly talk about reading and writing fanfiction. i feel as if it was such a huge part of many peoples childhoods and young adult hoods and it means so much to see THE BRITNEY BROSKI showing us her own written work !!!
i feel so seen when she’s talking about staying up all night reading fanfics and it being a routine because that was also my life in high school😭 also just the fact that fan fiction consumed my thoughts 85% of the time but i never talked about it with ANYONE
I love seeing like a 20 something year old admitting and talking about how she still reads fanfics cause lately its been made fun of but i still go strong on reading fanfics like theyre so good
The fact that I also stayed up until 6am every night and got completely ABSORBED into writing/reading magcon fan fiction for 3 years of my life. I’d say it was by far my favorite era of my life thus far.
girl ok straight up as someone who lived and breathed wattpad growing up- you letting us see your stories/recents is EVERYTHING!! Literally the biggest, goofiest smile on my face watching this rn- And yes, your writing is good and I'm going to need updates in the nearest future please and thanks
I could literally listen to brittany talk about fanfiction forever girl i feel SO happy just being able to hear someone talk so openly about their embarrassing interest and crushes like i feel like im having a heart to heart at a sleepover rn
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE SEXUALIZING THING UP. When we’re kids on Wattpad, it’s sooooo common to read and write those kinds of fan fictions because it’s what’s popular and we enjoy and and so does everyone else, but I’m glad you’ve acknowledged that it ain’t cool too. Heck yeah!!! Tbh I still write fan fiction, I just don’t publish lol.
LITERALLYYYY when i made a fanfic in middle school i felt like an actual author and looked up every little thing to make sure it was “accurate”😂 this speaks to me on such a deep level
I think I had an out of body experience watching this. The idea of hundreds of thousands of people judging my wattpad library makes me ill. Brittany is a strong women couldn't be me.
The fact that her Wattpad name is God won’t let me die and how it’s been blurred out on the Wattpad home screen but when she’s reading the stories is literally right there on the page LMAO
Girl I fucking love you. I'm 21 and thought I would have gotten over reading fan fiction but I never did lol. You literally make me feel better and less ashamed. Love you Queen.
Showing your wattpad library is literally the equivalent of baring your PUREST RAW NAKED FORM. Like everything is on the table now

HONESTLY
When you find a good fic, read all the chapters just to realize it hasn't been updated in like 5 years
or you find the perfect one and the writer deletes everything 😭😭😭

Dang girl, If i had to publicly read the fan fiction i wrote when i was 15 i’d simply pass away
The fact that I also stayed up until 6am every night and got completely ABSORBED into writing/reading magcon fan fiction for 3 years of my life. I’d say it was by far my favorite era of my life thus far.
Bc of this video I found the Calum fan fiction I’ve been looking for since I was 15, I’m 22💀💀💀
i-
girl ok straight up as someone who lived and breathed wattpad growing up- you letting us see your stories/recents is EVERYTHING!! Literally the biggest, goofiest smile on my face watching this rn- And yes, your writing is good and I'm going to need updates in the nearest future please and thanks
I could literally listen to brittany talk about fanfiction forever girl i feel SO happy just being able to hear someone talk so openly about their embarrassing interest and crushes like i feel like im having a heart to heart at a sleepover rn
this fucking woman has the courage of a soldier like damn. love you Brittany ya lil freak, never change
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE SEXUALIZING THING UP. When we’re kids on Wattpad, it’s sooooo common to read and write those kinds of fan fictions because it’s what’s popular and we enjoy and and so does everyone else, but I’m glad you’ve acknowledged that it ain’t cool too. Heck yeah!!! Tbh I still write fan fiction, I just don’t publish lol.
brittany u couldn’t have waterboarded my ao3 history out of me you’re so brave babe 😭
WATERBOARDED LMFAO
THIS MADE ME SCREAM
😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
LITERALLYYYY when i made a fanfic in middle school i felt like an actual author and looked up every little thing to make sure it was “accurate”😂 this speaks to me on such a deep level
waterboarding couldn't have gotten this out of me. you are so brave, thank you for your service to weird little girls everywhere
Imagine reading and commenting on a Harry Styles vampire fanfiction just to find out 10 years later that it was written by Brittany Broski
Thank you for your vulnerability Brittany you deserve the Purple Heart for this
I think I had an out of body experience watching this. The idea of hundreds of thousands of people judging my wattpad library makes me ill. Brittany is a strong women couldn't be me.
agreed
dude AND i’m high watching this? not a good combo 💀
You’re the bravest woman of our generation
It's torture to sit and read a real book for an hour but when it comes to a fanfiction that will take me 9 hours to read, I'll read it in one sitting
The fact that her Wattpad name is God won’t let me die and how it’s been blurred out on the Wattpad home screen but when she’s reading the stories is literally right there on the page LMAO
LITERALLY
Girl I fucking love you. I'm 21 and thought I would have gotten over reading fan fiction but I never did lol. You literally make me feel better and less ashamed. Love you Queen.
You don’t ever have to get over it. I didn’t get into it until 38. I’m in gc with 40-something women who trade recs 😆
She was so brave for this I couldn't even show my wattpad to my own boyfriend
