Girl the literary QUALITY you can find in AO3 is literally UNMATCHED. Some insanely talented authors giving away their work for the benefit of the community and nothing else. I love it
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
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
A lot of writers stared getting into writing bc of fanfics, I see it has a fun way to explore writing without the intimidation of needing start from scratch, kinda like writing training wheels if you will
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
"I would come home from theatre practice, do my homework, go eat dinner with my family, and then lock myself in my room and read fanfiction all night" - The most relatable theatre kid experience

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 💀💀💀💀
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
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
@@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!
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?
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.

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
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 💀
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.
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.
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!
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 !!!
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 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
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.
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
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?
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
I used to be super embarrassed about reading fan fiction cause I really enjoyed it and it used to make me feel so GROSS!! Like I was the only person reading stuff like this and the reason no one else was talking about it was because it was wrong. And now I’m finding out that there are so many other people who felt the same ??? Wtf?? I have NEVER never never NEVER talked about it with anyone. And it feels so freeing just to watch this video. Thank you Brittany for being a real one!!! You the REALEST person on TH-cam
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.
interesting to see the straight side of fanfiction as someone who grew up reading and writing fic but it was in fandoms where m/m ships were the main focus
This can’t be any worse than the Niall fanfic I wrote when I was 14 where the main oc girl was a nascar driver 🤦♀️ I know WAY too much about nascar racing for someone who doesn’t even like it.
i was so immersed in after when it was solely on wattled there was a point i had to take a break because i was beginning to resent harry for WHAT HE DID in a FANFIC
I was DEEPLY affected by a fanfiction where the pairing breaks up and one of them is at the wedding and he's all heart broken. I even brought it up to my therapist wkjejdbej
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.
Brittany bestie you’re SO brave for doing this 😭😭😭 as someone who’s nearly 30 & and on fanfiction sites since the LiveJournal days… my fanfiction readings and writings are between me and god only
I am only on the m/m side of AO3 but I wholeheartedly support her in this and felt the screeching and joy and intensity of this video in my SOUL. No greater act of intimacy than showing the world your fanfic, periodt.
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.

or you find the perfect one and the writer deletes everything 😭😭😭

Im 16 and read fan fics and i know im the target demographic but i swear ill be reading pwp/angst/hurt/comfort fics till im 92 and on life support.
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?
I was a fanfic kid who didn't have friends 💀
did this once with a siggy shade book. 10/10 experience would do it again
Me when I’m going crazy over the best fic of my life
Oh my God my friends and I did this IN THE LUNCHROOM. We decided it would be like an initiation in order for others to join our friend group LMFAOOO
I relate to Brittany climbing on her couch laughing in embarrassment SO MUCH
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
Bc of this video I found the Calum fan fiction I’ve been looking for since I was 15, I’m 22💀💀💀
i-
this fucking woman has the courage of a soldier like damn. love you Brittany ya lil freak, never change
she’s braver than the marines, exposing herself like this on the internet💀
THIS is representation. I feel both seen and humiliated, thank you
brittany really is the people's princess, she is us
no way this is actually happening. Brittany, you are a brave soldier.
15-year-old Brittany seeing current Brittany wearing a black t-shirt with a few tattoos visible on her arms: Ooh, a rebel.
Underrated
This sent me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I used to be super embarrassed about reading fan fiction cause I really enjoyed it and it used to make me feel so GROSS!! Like I was the only person reading stuff like this and the reason no one else was talking about it was because it was wrong. And now I’m finding out that there are so many other people who felt the same ??? Wtf?? I have NEVER never never NEVER talked about it with anyone. And it feels so freeing just to watch this video. Thank you Brittany for being a real one!!! You the REALEST person on TH-cam
U shld be embarrassed its femcel behaviour
I'm so glad I had friends who were also reading fanfics, we felt weird together
FELLTT FELT FELT i would feel so bad
@@nahnahnope9519 okay 😂 I’m assuming your coming from a standpoint of a 100% perfect person ?
@@nahnahnope9519 huh???????
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.
The embarrassment but excitement in her tone made me KNOW she's talking real shit lol. If I couldn't love Brittany more.
Thank you for your vulnerability Brittany you deserve the Purple Heart for this
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
the fact that this video exists and brittany has now met harry styles in real life is possibly the most hilarious full circle moment ever
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 💀
interesting to see the straight side of fanfiction as someone who grew up reading and writing fic but it was in fandoms where m/m ships were the main focus
Me realizing I had a whole different experience with fanfic
No same. This was so bizarre because I completely forgot straight ships exist lmfao
Well I read and wrote f/f, f/m and m/m. Because then you have the best of all worlds I guess lol
i should have known i was bi sooner bc i was in both kinds of fandom so i saw it ALL and it played a pivotal role in my growth i can’t lie
This can’t be any worse than the Niall fanfic I wrote when I was 14 where the main oc girl was a nascar driver 🤦♀️ I know WAY too much about nascar racing for someone who doesn’t even like it.
PLSS I WANNA READ IT
HELP MEEE
this is taking me OUT
i was so immersed in after when it was solely on wattled there was a point i had to take a break because i was beginning to resent harry for WHAT HE DID in a FANFIC
like it was giving me anxiety
You're so real for this I get digestive issues when something happens in the shit I read
I was DEEPLY affected by a fanfiction where the pairing breaks up and one of them is at the wedding and he's all heart broken. I even brought it up to my therapist wkjejdbej
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 😆
You’re the bravest woman of our generation
Brittany bestie you’re SO brave for doing this 😭😭😭
as someone who’s nearly 30 & and on fanfiction sites since the LiveJournal days… my fanfiction readings and writings are between me and god only
I am only on the m/m side of AO3 but I wholeheartedly support her in this and felt the screeching and joy and intensity of this video in my SOUL. No greater act of intimacy than showing the world your fanfic, periodt.
SAME I can't imagine reading x reader fanfic but this was such a treat lol
honey, what other side?
there is no other side
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.
waterboarding couldn't have gotten this out of me. you are so brave, thank you for your service to weird little girls everywhere
I used to write original stories on Wattpad and I just remembered that I gave a copy of the first chapter to my 9th grade English teacher to read 💀💀💀
That's so fucking bold I'm both impressed and scared
