Yep, but only for reading. I've read many, many novels worth of fics in the past few years 😂

No, I do not have an account, but I do read Portal stuff on there sometimes. I found a very cute Wheatley x reader one published the other day with no yucky stuff and all fluff and it was so wholesome.

Don't judge me about the Wheatley stuff lol, I just like cute stuff hehe

While I haven't been on there many times, just about everything I have found there is porn. Maybe there's some kind of filter?

I have been a member over there since 2013, but am only writing my first work which I hope to put on there now. It's already over like, 50,000 words long though and that's just the first rough draft with fill-in chapters that still need to be written (to join scenes together and expand on events and stuff). It got away with me and now I'm feeling really overwhelmed, but I want to start writing properly eventually (I have already had non-fiction published - articles mostly, but I mean like an actual creative work from my own mind) and I figure this is good practice for the story-building process and the discipline it takes and things. Phew. I decided to aim to publish it on Ao3 rather than any of the other fanfic sites just because it's very violent and sexually graphic, with a lot of body horror etc, so it needs to be somewhere that will allow for those things without removing it!! :)

Yes there are very advanced filters so you can remove all explicit and sexual tags etc, I have the opposite experience in that soooo much of it is young adult and very tame (maybe a kiss or two, lol), so I have to use the filter to find the explicit stuff aimed at adults (which often older people are writing so the story is aimed more at adults rather than teens and young adults, even if I skip the sex stuff I can usually get more out of the story) :)

AO3 has an amazing tag and filter system. It is very easy to not find any explicit fics at all if the authors have rated and tagged it in the right way. Avoid everything rated M and E, and you should be fine ;). Though fics rated M don't necessarily always have sexual content, but are rather rated that way because it discusses "mature" topics. 

Your safest bet will be T and G, and don't click on anything tagged with pwp... 😛

Check out works by plato_rocks on Archive of Our Own for non-sexual, platonic fluff! I have been following their series on Enola Holmes and am glad to see that at least someone thinks like me and likes to emphasize (perhaps over-emphasize) sibling relationships!

 

I can't stand explicit sexual content, and generally dislike how 99% of fanfiction is filled with stories about characters hooking up in all possible ways. But now and then I come across some delightful, non-sexual works though!

Though I'm faintly familiar with the site, it's been a very long time since I've had anything to do with fanfiction in general. I mostly wrote about characters from whatever I was reading/watching at the time just hanging out and sometimes making references to their franchises. It didn't occur to me until years later that people mostly used it to have characters "hook up" (among other things).

 

All of that said, I was thinking about getting back into it, but I'd have no real idea where to start.

I want to. 

I keep meaning to but then I feel strange because my ideas I normally just keep in my head, it would feel odd to actually write it out.

I'm on there! I don't have any recent fics but I do have some MHA domestic All Might stuff up and more works coming soon! I'm really into She-Ra, Avatar, and such lately. MHA got a little dark for me but I still love All Might with my whole heart. My AO3

I have one, but only for reading because I can't write for shit 😅

 

Also, if anyone knows where to find fics that either have no shipping at all or aren't mainly focused on relationships; especially fics that explore like "what if X had happened instead of Y" please please please share!

Fics filtered under the category "Gen" shouldn't have (too much) shipping in them. And if properly tagged, X/X usually indicates relationships, whereas X&X is reserved for friendships

 

You also need a bit of luck. I've read some great fics that were tagged with a certain ship, but turned out to be proper novel length thrillers/dramas, where in the end the relationship was pretty much on the back burner

Most of my work is on fanfiction.net. I use ao3 more often to read, but I do have one story on there. If anyone read it they would judge me heavily and/or be scarred in the process. :P Given the nature of it, I'm amazed that I get the occasional 'kudos' and comment on there from people who love it... it is well written and has good dark humor, but uh... that darkness. lol.

 

Anyway-- writing is wonderful and I think it's great you want to support other writers. 👍
