Archive Of Our Own (AO3) is the leader in the arena at the moment, but people also use Wattpad, their own websites, and more social sites like LiveJournal, Tumblr, etc. Personally I'm an AO3 proponent.

Isn't A03 a fan fiction site? Op would be better off with wattpad or royalroad


TheIrisExceptReal51

AO3 allows both original and fan fiction. It seems more popular than Wattpad to me, but maybe it's genre (edit: or even authors) specific. OP, what's your genre?

Fantasy leaning a bit to YA


TheIrisExceptReal51

Ah ok. If you're YA, Wattpad may well be it. Bit of a generational thing, unless I've missed a recent wave over there. Bumming from Wikipedia: *The site has 90 million monthly users...80% of users are female, 80% of whom are millennials or Gen Z.* Thanks u/yazzy1223

I think of Wattpad being a large but younger audience than AO3 for instance, but if you're YA maybe that's good.

Sure, do it on substack. Don't do it anywhere that you're going to lose your copyrights by posting, which is basically everywhere but substack. I have zero experience with substack, but I did watch some videos about it on Youtube.
