Brittany acting like 98 percent of her audience doesn't read an unhealthy amount of fanfiction is my favorite genre
This is so real
Literally said, “okay okay yeah we know” 😂
As a person that doesn’t read this stuff. The warning and lesson helped Lmao I understand it better
@@Ghostspider0903Same
I never don't have like 20 tabs on my phone of A03
This makes me feel how I imagine medieval peasants felt when the king drove his carriage through their hovel
Seeing the notification with the title and thumbnail is like hearing that royal trumpet melody
LMFAOOOO
This is the perfect comment ❤
Very relatable and completely understandable
Idk if you meant thru the town or blasting straight thru the peasant’s dwelling looney tunes style. Either way I’m enjoying the visual
10:18 the way she casually pulled up a narcos fanfic that was over 225,000 words long- aka between 500-900 printed book pages- is so real
And it was incomplete too I'm crying
ngl i have read 200k fanfics in one sitting before so no wonder
me realizing i nearly finished an iconic 500k-word jamilton fanfic in prolly a week:
👁️👄👁️
The way she reacts while she reads is EXACTLY what I do. Half of the time I read fanfiction is spent on me screaming at an imaginary audience.
SAME!!!
im like are yall seeing this omg😮😮
Realll
The most humbling experience is reading fic on ao3 and the author uses a word I don’t know like damn I thought this was smut not a penguin classic
The penguin classic kids books reading this comment 👀😬🤦🏻♀️😭😵💫😯🙄🙃💀
But honestly, this comment made me laugh a lot, so no shade at all 😁
Fanfic authors have multiple dictionary and thesaurus tabs open at all times. Source: me, a former fanfic author
me when i saw the word beleaguered
LOL
Penguins classics are so good
Not even Batman could torture my ao3 bookmarks out of me
That could be a fun meta fanfic tho!
agh real
This. If anyone ever wants me to do anything in life, just hold my ao3 read list over my head and I will give you anything you want. I could never work for a government entity because just the threat of sharing my ao3 bookmarked list or my own terrible fanfiction would get me to spill all the secrets. 😂
batman is already in half of mine
This is too real.
The best thing I've ever found on ao3 is the hunger games book from Peeta's POV. a girl literally took the time to rewrite ALL 3 books from his POV. It's so well done and accurate to the books that I basically consider it canon.
And you leave no title for us?! 😭🤣
WHATS IT CALLED
@@retrotween3066"peeta's games" it's also the top kudos work under the hunger games fandom

My favorite omegaverse (don't judge me) author used to have her HUSBAND proof read her smut. AO3 is a family 👏 business 👏 we love to see it
This is why we support family owned buisnesses 🙌🙌
LMAO I LOVE THAT
drop the author girl🙏
I love how Brittany always talks about fan content as if she’s explaining something totally freaky and insane to a normie when in reality she is not only preaching to the choir but the choir is actually somehow much hornier and freakier than her
me when she was talking about after like girlie there is not one fan here who doesn’t know what that is
Literally like know your audience girlie, we’re all freaks!!
Archive of our Own is like the Rosetta Stone of fanmade content. It would feel so wrong if they modernized the interface
Its the royal princesses diary for the peasants
Then fanfiction dotnet was cave paintings because 12 y old me was reading teen titans fanfiction in 2004 on the family computer lol I feel like im the only one who remembers or used that site fr
I actually adoree it everytime with my silly little skins from 2011
fr 200k of crying and hoping they survive and fall in love is a classic, weekly activity
i LOVE their ui
The bravery you have for bearing this to us is INSANE. You could not pry the smut I read from my cold dead hands
my plan is to pay someone to destroy every record of my fanfic reading when i die so no one can ever know
you could not waterboard the fanfics i read out of me 😭
“I feel the judgement coming through the screen.”
Girl I went from writing fanfiction to currently writing two books so trust I must be respectful to my roots
for the non-smut girlies: ao3 also has the most unmatched angst stories to grace this planet
the amount of times i’ve woken up with puffy eyes because of my late night angst ao3 reads …
real i joined ao3 for the smut now i check it regularly for like the 25k tearjerkers of my faves being put through the emotional wringer
i've cried over gay boys in the nineties more than i would like to admit
literally. i've cried multiple times
you ever feel your heart physically ache after reading that shit
“People died” in reference to ao3 outages is so real, personal experience
Fr, part of me is gone whenever it’s down
like IM people
that ddos attack a while back by homophobes had people eating their neighbors fr
Uh... As a wattpad user what the heck is that I'm very curious
@@L0st_in_The_V01D it's called a running bit
Poet Richard Siken has admitted to posting Sherlock and Supernatural fanfic on Ao3. There are professional writers on those streets. It's serious. 300,000 word series serious. I love it
WHAT?!!
The best way to use Ao3 is to just press search, edit search, and then you can type and edit any fandom/tag/preference that you want. You can find EXACTLY what you want to find as long as it exists.
I usually start with the pairing - you type it into the “Relationships” spot - as long as there is a fanfiction for the pairing, the pairing will pop up when you search it. Usually goes by this format (using a random pairing): “Dean Winchester/Castiel” or the names will be flipped around.
You can select the rating. I usually set mine to Mature or Explicit. Moving on.
You can set TAGS. This is where it gets crazy. Here are some tags that exist:
“Praise Kink” “Spencer Reid Whump” “Sexual Tension” “UNRESOLVED Sexual Tension” “Fluff” “Fluff and Angst” “Domestic Fluff” “Tooth-Rotting Fluff” - probably hundred more of tags that you can search up and apply to your search - however, more than 3 kind of specific tags, and you probably won’t find a fic. I’d say 2 or 3 tags can greatly narrow your search while still finding fics.
You can also search Characters, Language, select whether they should be finished or unfinished works (or no preference), Authors, yada yada yada.
The other great function that helps me a lot is the sorting function - you can do ascending or descending, and I find the best searches you can do are “Date Updated” descending or “Word Count” descending - “Date Posted” is probably also helpful, though I prefer “Date Updated”. “Date Updated” finds you the most recent fics - if you’re crazy like me and have consumed MANY works of a certain pairing - using this can help you find the most recent fics/new works and especially help you follow updating fics. I usually just look out for when a fanfiction/a certain title updates to the top again (as in the author updates it, it goes to the top of the fics each time it updates).
If you haven’t read all the fics to a certain pairing and especially if you have A LOT of fics for the particular ship (yay! congrats!), then sorting it by Word Count descending can maybe help you find the length fic/what kind of fic you’re looking for. I find anything in the 1,000 to 9,000 word range can be a really good short or long form one-shot. Anything 50,000-200,00+ can be a good longer form fic. The fics between 9,000-50,000 are kind of a blend between this - usually good shorter-feeling multi-chapter fics. Anything shorter than 1,000 can be good but sometimes isn’t fulfilling or well written, and 250,000+… the author is either a God tier writer or they’re just someone who writes like shit and doesn’t know how to stop.
If anyone read this who wants to use Ao3 but has trouble understanding its layout, let me say - I hope this helps. In my not so humble opinion, Ao3 is far superior to Wattpad or tumblr for fan fiction. I only hope this may guide you to finding the fic you’ve been craving DEEP in your soul.
you’ve explained ao3 perfectly🙏 I’ve been sorting fics through kudos cause I thought those would be the best rated lol
@@xoch1717 also probably a very good method! I’ll have to try sorting by kudos.
YAS QUEEN
@@xoch1717 I do that too! But when I've read all the top stories of a certain pairing *cough* Merthur *cough* then I'll do OP's Date Posted method.
This is what I do!! I wish they tags search worked a bit better though. The more uncommon ones can't be searched.
they say “if there’s a screen, ao3 will be seen” and i think that’s beautiful
I’m from Spain and thank the gods it’s still not all that known here, I can read on ao3 anywhere I want 😂
Rumple Goocher AO3 entry when?
on it
need it in my life
oh my godddd
I'm a writer and this is giving me ideias
I would pass away 😂😂😂😂
The humbling experience of explaining to my husband that I consume AO3 Star Wars fan fiction and have since I was 12 ☠️😭
This is why fanfic reading is such a public part of my personality-people have to be used to hearing about me reading fanfic before I get in a deep relationship with them and they suddenly find out lmaooo
one of the tags for rough day being “favreau forgive me” is SENDING me 😭😭
Rough Day is a f*#%ing work of art.
@@alyssa3405Brittany linked it in the description
One of my favorite fanfics on ao3 got updated after like a year. The author’s note was all like sorry I just left my husband and had my second child. Author’s notes are WILD.
idk her but i respect the hell out of her
Same except mine occasionally mentioned having some serious health issues on their social media so when they disappeared for more than a year we feared the worst. Thankfully they're still alive and their health is doing better now but it sure is a unique type of fear to not know and have no way of knowing if a person you met through the internet is dead or alive
Oh my god?!?
Lol I use those to explain the words that might be confusing
i once read a completed fic but then like halfway through the author died in a car crash (rest in peace honestly) and another author had completed it for her. you could say that i was flabbergasted and had to take a short break before continuing.
I love ao3 writers sm. the amount of RESEARCH they do for the tiniest details??!!??? plS why aren't these angels getting paid
I WAS JUST THINKING THIS. Like I want us to be able to donate so they can get the royalties they deserve
Me because I’m looking up literally the specifics on the high school that all the characters are on and creating a Facebook account to join the schools sports group so I can see what the camp is like and their uniforms 😅 all for a 2 minute filler conversation
FOR REAL i came to this video after reading one where they were looking at constellations and the writer literally researched what constellations could be seen in that part of the world at that specific time 😭 it was like a paragraph long interaction but i appreciate the detail LOL
if you want a real answer its because getting paid makes it no longer qualify as just fanwork, and turns into someone trying to take credit for someone else's work and characters, universe etc. you are not allowed to drop any kind of links to places where you can get paid or mention any payment you might have received for a fic on ao3 for your own protection, bc once you have been paid you can be sued@@cameemz
NO LITERALLY
ok but “a cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner” is a FANTASTIC title
I'm 41, and i discovered fanfiction back in 2000, when I just started college. Adult Swim was still new, and I discovered Anime. Oh man, I loved that shit, and it literally opened up my career path because I started writing fanfiction and then realized I love writing. Fanfiction will always hold a special place in my heart.
Oh my gosh, same! I’m dyslexic and never thought I could ever go into literature but I started writing fics in high school and fell in love. I just got my first job as a journalist!
Sometimes I read fanfics written in the early to mid 2000s and I wonder where the authors are now
Hehehehe, I've recently rediscovered fics that I read *BACK IN THE 90s!!!* because the authors got around in the past few years to moving their work from dead/defunct Geocities sites to ao3. Oh my god it's like being in highschool again & I have to say, happy to see I had good taste even back then 😂
"i'm over ghost"
brittany broski instantly starting the video with ghost fanfiction:
REAL 😭😭😭
the way reading fanfiction since i was 12 has evolved my vocabulary more than any normal book has! the reading comprehension was off the CHARTS
it has truly done more for me than reading any assigned classic book in school
SAME
I credit writing and reading horrible HP fanfiction in my teens with my ability to write college-level essays and understand post-high school literature while I was in middle/high school. Legit, fanfiction taught me how to write.
FACTS! Made scrabble waaaay easier.
IS THIS WHY I WAS THE GIFTED ENGLISH BURNOUT KID 😭
I need the way you screamed 'MASKED MEN' played on loop for 10 hrs pls
NAHHHH the way I RAN to read rough day.... literally read it all in 20 hours with no break with no fkn idea about the star wars/mandalorian universe ONLY TO FIND IT WASNT FINISHED AHHHHHH
Me too! I was crushed when there was no "next page button". We can only hope the attention this video is giving it prompts the author to upload again. I saw there were sooo many comments on it from people who came from this video.
THE WAY I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT. I just got on spring break and read that thing over two days. WHEN I TELL YOU I DIED AS SOON AS I REALIZED IT CUTOFF. I went and CREATED a tumblr account just to check her page cuz it was linked at the end of every chapter, just to find out she’s been radio silent for over a year. I have hope that one day it will be completed, she made big promises in her chapter 20 notes 🙏
NO LITERALLY!!! The way that goddamn fic was my life for a good weeeeeek. I fear it won't ever get updated 😭🙏.
Mother your hair is HAIRING this warm tone is absolutely eating
Right?! It makes me want to see her with like a warm chocolate brown like Brooke Schofield has ❤️

Just stayed up reading the "Rough Day" fanfic. Oh maker was it good. The details just made me feel like I was there, that I learned all those skills. That I did all of it. Thank you Brittany. This was the experience that I needed tonight.
The fact that it’s unfinished kills my soul
I got curious about Rough Day..... my eye glued to my screen, i just read 2 chapters eyes wide open, not even blinking. i did not know i need this in my life.
Girl stop while u still can. IT IS UNFINISHED AND IT KILLS ME OMG
As someone who's basically lived on AO3 for the past decade (my mental stability kinda depends on it at this point), i feel both elated and terrified that Brittany is introducing our magic library to so many new people.
can you please recommend me a fanfic u really like im willing to read anything

AO3 is wild because you'll see the most godless smut fic ever that was most likely written by a 15yr old right above a 500k word fic that could bring Harper Lee and Oscar Wilde to tears.
the interesting thing with ao3 is that if you hang around the site enough you pick up pretty fast what the average age demographic of a fandom (the ao3 version of the fandom ofc) is by the writing quality and content
@@thj_5046YEPPP LMAO
10000000% I once read a Persona 5 fanfic and the writing, dialogue, plot, characterisation and pacing was crafted with such insane skill that it is my Roman Empire. I’ve been thinking about it every day for like two years.

I’m just so happy to have a RUclipsr that I literally feel like is just like me. I always feel like I am listening to a best friend when I watch your videos and I love it. Thank you Brittany for being SO honest and not hiding our craziness lol
Middle aged, married and can confirm I LOVE Ao3 - the search function is incredible, you are very wrong Madame President, I'm sorry. You can filter to EXCLUDE tags so if there's a fandom you want to search but a pairing or an ACT you'd rather not read, you can filter them out (assuming the writer used tags haha). If it aint broken don't fix it 😶🌫️
The exclude function is a lifesaver!
Yes. Purpose-built websites are AMAZING for user experience and we are hella lucky that WE are AO3's customers (unlike every other platform online these days....)
THIS!
Omg i was there pre exclusion and it was a nightmare... i swear heaven opened when they gave us that exclusion tab
getting accustomed to the layout did take me a while, but once i was used to it, it immediately became the only site i read fic on. their tag system is flawless! being able to tag your own bookmarks? life changing. excluding tags is so so awesome as well.
13:36 I love the yell at the gramamr mistake and then immediately continue reading

ok, yall I'm back to say that rough day the mando fic is SO SO SO amazing bro. Like I binged it in 2 days it was so good. It was equal parts warm and gushy and steamy af. It hit just the right spot in my brain fr. The ghost one is super good too. Just an fyi in case no one else put it here the mando one isn't finished and hasn't been updated since march last year. It doesn't leave off on a terrible cliffhanger though. Miss Brittany knows what shes talking about. 😌
Saame, binged Rough Day, I didn't put it down all weekend and had to tell my husband I was reading the hunger games.... I actually started crying and had a meltdown when I got to the end of chapter 20 and there was no "next chapter" button. I am still mourning and there is an empty hole in my heart... I just hope and pray to the maker that all this attention from this vid will make the author upload again. 🙏
the fact that I spent twelve hours reading it over two days and then it ENDED. Omfg it killed me
the fact that I remember the first chapter of Rough Day being uploaded and immediately bookmarking it. Insane that britney broski was readin' it too
SUPREME LEADER!!!! now i can eat my lunch with content. you have my FULL attention. eyes closed hands off the wheel and i totaled my car in the process.
can I join you fellow broski citizen? I brought nachos
I got a pb&j! On my way

Brittany I want you to know that I started reading rough day bc of this video (my first fan fiction in over 12 years) and I am absolutely addicted to it. Thank you so much my queen
NO STOP WHILE YOU CAN. It is UNFINISHED and it literally murders me
honestly i cannot share the stuff i read on ao3 with my closest friends, this is so brave of you but also i hope we can all be lesse shy about fanfiction bc it's so fun and harmless
You would have to hammer fifteen nails into my nail beds for me to reveal information such as this, cap’n
The way I just read the entirety of A Rough Day and now I’m DEVASTATED
It’s comforting to know that we’re living the same life out here.
The "if there's a will, there's a way" thing is so true, I remember seeing a post of someone on one of those tvs on the back of airplane seats mid flight. They waited until an ad popped up and clicked on it to access the internet and *immediately* got to ao3, I was cackling when I saw it.
I love that honestly and that reminds me of how I downloaded all of my favorite fics (some I have to screenshot because they weren’t on ao3) because I was going on a 13 hour flight and wanted entertainment. Ended up getting me through that flight.
'you roll you eyes at the thought' then immediately saying fuck as it ruined the vibe,
but immediately jumping back to read IS SUCH A MOOD. lmao, no matter the slight mistakes in a fic, when invested, you are invested, mistakes be damned.
sometimes i read something and think “damn just let me beta read and edit some stuff furiousowl4,,, give me a chance i can make you shine”
Okay so I just wanna say, thank you for literally introducing to something I’ve never thought I would like literally went to read rough day and damn. Please post more of these :)
Literally not even halfway through one of them and holyyyyy Jesus jaw dropped. Goosebumps. I have to take breaks in between text chunks. thank you for the feast my lord 😩
I've been saying, AO3 has some of the most wonderful novel-esque stories I've ever read
I just know Brittany would EAT UP the marauders fandom fics they are ACTUAL WORKS OF ART!!!
FORREALLL!!! Like any Wolfstar long fic (or the one shot smut tbh 😭) I think she’d love. Literal NOVEL WORTHY FICS
It seems she only (or mostly) reads self insert fics :/
No literally, and so much angst and suffering, but also fluff
Omg yesssss!! I used to read that shit in uni ❤
Not me being absolutely *in love!* with Marauder era jily even now in my 20s 🫣😳
I read Rough Day because of this video (never seen the Mandalorian) but oh my god I’ve been frothing at the mouth, going feral, losing my mind, telling everybody I know that this smut will ruin your life. I haven’t read a book in a decade but I just smashed all 201,000 words in 4 days
I LOVE the voice she used for Ghost, it was the funniest thing I've heard all day. I'm not much of a giggler but she turned me into one.
I love how educated Britney is on the subject of fanfic’s, I feel like I can really trust her analysis on what makes a good fanfic
GRABBING THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE THANK YOU OVERLORD

LMFAOOOO not the outages!! Some of those had me pulling my hair out, gnawing the bars of my enclosure…I started writing some of my own shit when the site was down but ONLY OUT OF NECESSITY.

girl i just finished like 4 different fanfics by the same author which were all 80k+ words long with plots that did NOT let me stop reading for even a SECOND. i wouldve died if i had to stop reading. i cannot believe how good the plot, the smut, the grammar, the feelings and the character dialogue was. there are serious AUTEURS on ao3. and this was for detroit become human. you know, that video game with the voice actor for mr krabs? so good.
WHO!?!? tell me now pleeeeaasseeeee
SPILL
details needed NOW
hello, back again to ask that you give us some recommendations please
@@rosem7889 okay idk why but apparantly youtube didnt post the comment i posted? if it did and i just cant see it, well youll get the recommendation twice lmao. the author is called Jolli_Bean on ao3 and im seriously considering already re-reading their fics a few days later lmao
Thank you for your service!! I am about to indulge in the Pedro pascal stories 😇
AO3 fics did more for my mental health than any therapist ever could.
Professor to professor, great class. I would like to add, that AO3 will change your life and in the long run, its actually easier to use
I find the AO3 interface SO much nicer. I can sort to my excessively niche interest, add whatever crossovers or additional fandoms I want.
For example, I'm such a big DC fan, and I like different areas of DC like Batfam, Constantine, League of Assassins. I can't find something like that on any other website.
You make me happy whenever I truly need it and nothing else in this world works. Thank you for that
seated for the lecture. love this class so much!!!
the way ppl who read bokks are so loud about it, sharing their passion with others, get to talk about it with friends BUT ive been reading ff for 10 + years almost every day, i dont think anyone in my life knows or will understand. there better ff on ao3 than any book ive read i so wish i can talk ab it with my friends.
Brittany!!! thank u for sharing, u are an inspiration to us all, the way sharing your passions can be one of the scariest things, u r so brave
"Oh I read constantly. All the time."
"Really? What do you read?"
"........fanfiction." 😅😅
Right cuz why were so many women openly talking about reading 50 shades, but if I mention this Cinderella AU anime gay crossdressing fanfic I really like, suddenly I'm the weirdo 🙄 /s
Girl this is gonna sound unhinged, but youre genuinely helping me explore and understand my sexual interests.
Ive felt too uncomfortable and ashamed to do it, but you make it seem fun and carefree and silly. Its so girly-pop and i love it so thank you ❤😭
what does "its so girly pop" mean
@@l.elizabeth41it’s a gen z way of saying girly and cutesy
@@Wafflesrbetter oh that’s weird lol. I’m gen z but never understood that
You're so right! I've never really read fanfiction (besides a fucking hilarious Harry Potter fic where adult harry has to relive his hogwarts years) but girlypop is the best way to describe it. I love girlypop-izing things because honestly I'm just a girl and everything can be like that if you try hard enough
@@the_bearer_of_truth00 let me take a guess: is it Oh God Not Again! by Sarah1281 ?:D i laughed sm when i first read it (in one sitting... oops) hahaha
girly-pop foreverr
Soooo I started reading rough day the night you posted this. And have read it NON-STOP for the last 3 days and have 1 chapter left. What have you done to me. ITS INCREDIBLE IM A NEW WOMAN.
Rough Day was earth shattering, ground shaking, mind boggling, hands down the best fic ive ever read. Thanks Brittany for the recommendation 😭🙏🏽
The notif literally popped up when i was reading on ao3, duty calls
REAL
