I think the funniest thing I learnt today was that antis DID try to make their own ao3, but the restrictions made it impossible to do anything.
Nobody on the site could agree on one solid concept of “moral” and “immoral”, so it spawned a plethora of huge arguments and the site had to be shut down.
And the tagline was “good fiction for good people.”
Make of all that as you will.

This is the funniest thing I’ve heard in such a long time. I knew that was gonna happen because antis are so obsessed with being the most righteous person that not even people who agree with them can be as morally pure as them.
Meanwhile, I’m over here like, “Let’s be friends, fellow freaks. Perhaps even lovers. There is no hierarchy in the freakdom. We are all equal in our freakiness.”

Hey OP, what was the website called? Because I searched on that tagline and the only thing I found was this post.

Unfortunately I legitimately can no longer find it, most likely because it was taken down. It’s good to note that this was something I heard through my friends, so I’ll most likely pester them again about it.
I’ve been trying to ask around, and will make a post once I locate an archived version of the site, or even its name.
Update: I found YET ANOTHER PERSON who is aware of the site’s existence, but also can’t find its name. All we know is it’s a site that claimed to host “pure fiction only”. It’s like an urban legend, so many people have heard of it…nobody knows it….
Update: Same person reached back to me saying this.
ALTMore of our conversation if it makes me sound any less crazy.
Users cropped out for privacy reasons.
And here is the first time I heard about it:
I’m quite bothered by people thinking I’d instigate discourse for fun, so I’m trying to post these screenshots to prove that I’m being completely honest when I first said “I think the funniest thing I learned today was..”
If whatever god there is up there loves me enough, people will find this post.
I’VE FOUND IT
i told you I’m not crazy
Link to an archived version of the site if you still don’t believe me (the site itself has since been deleted.)
@plotbunnyfarm I figured it’d be good to ping you so you see this.
