I have said I mistread your post as "hating" the AO3. And I am not calling you names, as in the comment above I am only quoting your own words to you. But I'm afraid I have to disagree with your conclusion that the supporters are bringing about hostility towards the AO3. It was presented as "look! We will have a place to put fannish works so that we won't have to depend on outside sources that don't like fandom!" and immediately, immediately, some folks started up with the vitriol: "You're planning to steal my works!" "You're going to study us and write about us!" "You have nefarious purposes!" Now, you may not have been one of those people, but I assure you, that sort of stuff started up the moment the project was mentioned. Your posts seem to contain great suspicion about the Archive; if you don't mean to imply that, I would invite you to re-read your post. In any case, I repeat the simple advice: take out your story if it disturbs you so much to have it on the Archive. Really. Post it elsewhere. Or don't. I will never understand this opinion, but you're entitled to it.

You have people (like elfwreck( who say they want you to like the OTW and/or AO3. Clearly there are people out here who value you and your work. But please don't continue to wallow in unhappiness and negativity. It cannot be good for you.
