Writing on Sidechat | I posted this on the reading YikYak and they told me to post here lol. I'm writing a book rn and I was thinking of posting at least the first 2-3 chapters on ao3 to test to see if ppl like it. Is this a good idea or no?

It’s not a bad idea, but unless you have a lot of followers already, be prepared for it to get very little traction as original work. This doesn’t mean anything about how good your writing is, but original work is a much harder sell on AO3

Double check me bc I’m not 100% but I think wattpad might have a bigger original works culture than ao3, so you could also cross post there

OP 22h

then there’s no harm to it! You could also look for writing groups/discords in your area, people share lots of work in those
