Challenge #3

In your own space, talk about a fannish opinion you hold that has changed over time.

These days, I think of my AO3 account as an archive for personal use which I allow the internets to peer onto. I don't think of posting stories there as the same as publishing them, so I am less upset about typos or hate/bot comments or something being beta'd which did bother me when I first started posting stories.

That is so sensible. I'm thinking of AO3 as that too now, I used to have lovely long discussions with people about my fics, but that rarely happens now. So I now think of it as true to its name An ARCHIVE of our own. Not a CONVERSATION of our own.
