Ah, this is so lovely!

I'm reading a fic with a really active comment section on AO3 right now, where the author has no additional social media, and it feels like an entire alternate universe, imagining that all of fandom was still like that. Things staying more or less whee you put them, and the ability to go back and read not just old fic but old discussions, and that the discussions were just as valuable as the stories.
