#whats the word im looking for

I know AO3 has the “better” reputation over FFN, but honestly, that’s exactly why I stick with FFN. I consider myself a serious creative writer, just on the front of original works. I don’t want to feel like I have to stand at some Standard for writing fics. Fanfiction is fun diversion, so while I never intend to write crappy fanfic, FFN for me is the perfect pressure-free environment to post my most casual works in an area where I can say, “I wrote it and had fun.”
