May. 13th, 2013 11:31So, Time magazine highlighted the AO3 as one of the top web sites of 2013. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE AO3. I love the idealism, the ridiculous hoops they put for themselves in the service of trying to make everything fair, the way they are more responsive their userbase than any other site I have ever seen, the info-packed news updates with charts and graphs and colors, etc.
So good for Time, recognizing that!
On the other, hilarious, hand, read this quote from the profile: "…finding [fanfic] you're looking for online can involve sorting through mountain of inadequately tagged and frequently dodgy text. Archive of Our Own makes it easy: it's the most carefully curated, sanely organized, easily browsable and searchable nonprofit collection of fan fiction on the Web…"
THAT MAY ALL BE TRUE. But have you seen the AO3 tags? People use them like tumblr! People write summaries in their tags! People tag things "oh I have too many tags haha." THAT IS NOT A TAG WTF.
LOL Time Magazine. LOL.
