    This. Shit that I liked kept getting banned because it somehow fell afoul of some moderator's political ideals and it got to the point I was beyond sick of it.

    Originally found when I was reading a story on FanFiction.net. The author of the story I was reading mentioned he started his stories on this site.

    If memory serves me, I think someone from AO3 mentioned crossposting their work here. Curiosity got the better of me and, well, here I am.

    Not sure if I said it here, but I think it was a Panacea (Worm) story that I followed from FF to over here.

    Fuck, it's been years and my memory is blurry as hell about it all, lmao.

    I wasted many years on Fanfiction dot net. Christ finding stuff worth reading on that site was like wading through rivers of shit to find nuggets of gold. Or often copper.

    I also spent some time on AO3, but reading through their tagging system makes me throw up in my mouth a little. Seriously some of those tags are so fucking self-indulgently useless it makes my skin crawl.

    I figured that if I wanted to read good shit, I'd have to look on forums where the criticism would be harsh enough to create actual standards of writing.

    At some point I joined Alternate History to read alt history and ludicrously lengthy ASOIAF fics, while I lurked on spacebattles and sufficient velocity reading stuff but not actually signing up and participating.

    Eventually I decided if I wanted the good (read: depraved, amoral, fucked up humour) shit, I'd have to sign up here, and it's been great.

    Yeah, that feels nice about the fiction here.

    Granted, the quantity is lacking, but the quality is generally at least decent.

    If I'm not vibing with a story, I just leave without commenting.

    You know, because I'm not an asshole.

    Yeah no need to leave abuse or even announce your departure, if I'm not feeling it anymore, I just leave.

    Baby, I'm just going out for a packet of cigarettes. You and the story will be fine until I get back. Bye.

    If I find a fic distasteful or not otherwise not for me, I'll slap an Ignore on the thread and just leave. Sometimes I'll just Ignore the author if everything they write is not my cup of tea. Helps tidy up the fic list.

    But I wandered into QQ after it was mentioned by an author that was being chased off SB for wrong think. And now it's my preferred story site.

    Seconded on AO3's tag system being cringe.

    I was on Spacebattles and was getting frustrated at the issue of searching for stories.

    Somebody mentioned in the comments of a story I can't remember that QQ was pretty good and was essentially the third member to the Spacebattles, SufficientVelocy, & QuestionableQuesting Trio on the internet.

    Stuck with me and eventually got over my worry of the website being a hive of degeneracy, ala 4chan, and ended up finding really good stories that made me stick around. Have only recently begun to interact with the idea of personally writing a story but I first have to finish something to a level that I won't die of cringe in the future if I look back.

    Someone in r/Jumpchain mentioned The Erogamer, I was looking for all kinds of Gamer fics at the time because I was thinking of writing one myself, so my curiosity was picked, made an account to read the story, and I've been lurking here since then
