Forum: Books and Stories

Hi!!! I lately wanted to read on my new laptop and apart of Wattpad I don't know other webs or apps I could also use on my phone to read when I'm out. I don't care about subscriptions or else, I' open to everything. 


Thank you!!

  I think you should use Archive of Our Own. It's a bit intimidating at first, but it's very intuitive. To get started, you can pick a fandom, ship, or a tag you like. With the tag being anything like "fluff", "hurt/comfort", "Dead Dove", etc. Sort your preferred tags in the "sort" menu and you can also exclude certain ships and tags using that. Very useful!

  Ever since I started using AO3, I couldn't go back to WattPad LMAO I just don't get how you find what you want on that app

Ao3 (archive of our own) but you gotta be careful, read ALL those fucking tags, and the navigation system can be a bit confusing but there's probably videos out there that can show you... Uhh the only really big difference between the two is I personally think ao3 has better writers and you have to wait like a week to make an account

AO3 like the others said is definitely a good one, but you can also go to Fanfiction.net if you want to find some particularly old fics. The oldest one I can find is from 1999. I don't really know if they have any original stories if that's what you're looking for but you should check it out

Just like everyone else is saying, AO3 is the way to go, but you can also find the good fics on Fanfiction.net, you just gotta dig. I also like Ficbook, it's like Russian AO3. If you like x reader works, you NEED to go to Tumblr, they cook up some good shit over there.
