The FFN user experience descriptions made me wince, haha. Not too long ago, I was trying to find the site of an author who had to post the rest of their fic off-site 15 years ago or something, and the URL is mangled so badly it was impossible to figure out where they might have moved to. So sad and frustrating!
I'm with you on your thoughts about AO3 and the OTW... Clearly there's a lot that needs to improve right now, but when I remember what things were like and the spirit it was born out of... We need more of that. I'm still rooting for them to figure it out.
Congrats on everything you achieved since 2012, and to many many more happy years of fandom and fanfic! :)
