I'm there as GoSherlocked but with only one story so far.

**Posted by Mary Me** July 22, 2013 2:53 pm

I'm on AO3 as MaryMe, but only to write comments and leave kudos. I don't write fanfiction by myself.

But I said don't ask! No, it's really silly. As I probably mentioned before, as a teenager I was a huge Michael Jackson fan. I read all the books and articles about him, of course, everything I could get my hands on. One fun fact mentioned in some biography was that after the opening concert of the Bad Tour (1987), a British newspaper published a concert review titled "No pets, no plastic, just raw sex". As if they were really surprised that there were no pets on stage. Somehow that got stuck in my head, and when I was trying to find a username for FF.net and AO3 I just randomly remembered it and so I chose "NoPlastic". That's the story. Well, I think there haven't been any pets in my stories so far. But no sex either. Plastic, I don't know ...

Have you written any Michael Jackson fics?

**Posted by QuiteExtraordinary** July 23, 2013 7:46 pm

Haha, no, I haven't. I tried to write one when I was about 16 but never got past the first chapter. I read a lot of MJ fanfiction during that time though.

I'm DrWhoLocked ;-)

I don't write though - I just use it to leave kudos/bookmark/track history

I'm vuokki, I've only posted two short stories so far but have ideas for future, more epic ones. Eventually.

Yes the same as here. It's a canon joke.

**Posted by Kerkerian** October 5, 2013 6:10 pm

I'm KerkerianHorizon, nearly the same as on ff.net but un-hyphenated.

Gonna sound behind the wave, as usual, but what is AO3.

A fanfic website, I understand, but anyone care to give me the link?

I'm only on ff.net (I'm Fantony there) and wouldn't mind posting my stories (and read others) on other places.

AO3 is short of archiveofourown, 1 A, 3 O's. It's sort of like ff.net, but without the really bizzar posting procedure and a lot fewer whiny and b**chy teenagers, at least amongst us Sherlock fans. Plus you can post pictures and vids there too, sort of.

You definitely have to come join us Punch, there are soooo many good Sherlock stories you are missing.
One warning though, slash is a major thing in the Sherlock fandom on AO3, even if far from all the stories include actual sex. Though it is not so difficult to find the Gen stories there are since they also have a good search function, so it's usually fairly easy to find what you want whether it's a specific pairing, theme or whatever.

No they aren't paying me to advertise, I just think it's a great site.

True. AO3 is great. And it has a very practical download function.

Agreed, I like it much more than ff.net. Which is why I'm only putting my story on AO3 for now
