It took 60 boosts, but this was eventually boosted back into my own timeline.
Yes I am on AO3

Expanded thoughts on this general theme:
May 30, 2026, 10:09 PMMedian 22-minute A03 bear trap chapter delay factoid actually just statistical error. Millipedes Georg, who has 1000 legs and lives in a bear trap factory is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted. Chapters 241-879 now available.
Jencel Panicabuseofnotation@mathstodon.xyzMay 31, 2026, 1:59 PM@bstacey Is it a good place for promoting fiction? I am writing a memoir, it isn't fan fiction.
Oct 17, 2026, 2:48 PM@abuseofnotation @bstacey A03 is not social media, it's an archive with tag based search and filtering. There's no algorithm beyond a default sort by new, and only very basic user profiles.
So, you can posts non fandom writing and then share the link around, but there's no "promoting" through the actual site.
