I get the logic; I wonder if teen writers are attracted to platforms like medium which are both open yet have a certain "followers" aspect to it as well.

- eat_veggies 8y agoI don't have many writer friends, but I think most of them post fics and stuff on tumblr and the AO3. They have the same follower model as well. In fact, on the AO3 you can't even see who follows you, only a count of how many. Medium to me feels like it's mostly oriented for technical bloggers (even though it sucks for technical blogging!) and success bloggers that tell you to wake up at 4 AM and meditate.

- philbarr 8y agoI had never heard of it but was curious enough to google it: https://archiveofourown.org/ https://archiveofourown.org/ "A fan-created, fan-run, non-profit, non-commercial archive for transformative fanworks, like fanfiction, fanart, fan videos, and podfic" Lots of stuff for fans, apparently.
