Fanfiction/Ao3 vs. Vore?

[GrandGrandEater]

Anyone attempted to post their vore writing on those late-teen or middle-age on those horrible, not by much but still, its Fanfiction, sties like FF.net, MLP/Adult.org, Archive of our Own, Wattpadd...no scratch that option, a stupid amount of tween below 15?! Fanfiction I feel could work, bowed and give them a Sloppy Mary and hope the views aren't bots. Ao3 has a lot of porno potential but many franchise bases are quite slow to view due to limited quick-search when you are looking into let's say; Harry Potter or Percy Jackson (not that 2022 remake!)? I remember a long time ago folks used to post lots of vore-no(vore-porno) but then server purges happened, some necessary, MOST deliberate to be an ass-hat!

Your views?

oh, FYI; Ao3 needs at least 1 tag of relevancy to make sure you're not a bot.

I'm struggling to parse what you're saying a little bit but out of all of those Ao3 is the safest to post anything like that on since they don't censor the works posted (unlike virtually every other site out there). The reason they can do that is because they have a dedicated legal team to protect the site from backlash by people who want them to censor things. They also have a very robust tagging system which makes it very easy for folks who don't want to see something like vore to just avoid it.

With that said there are some problems with posting vore outside of a dedicated vore site like this one. The first is that people who like vore are very rare, so you probably won't get many people reading and enjoying your work. The second is that people who are disgusted/horrified by vore are very common, so you are likely to get a lot of hateful or just confused comments. You could try anyway I guess, but why? You're more likely to find an audience that appreciates your writing here on Eka's.

okay.

first, your description is incedibly confusing and goes into random stuff.

second, seconding Nox on the don't post vore fiction on general audience sites" thing. there is no need to. vore sites exist.

[Achenar]

Does your post in fact have a purpose other than actively and openly shitting on anyone who uses AO3? Or writes derivative fiction in general?

[Isencris]

Bit confused by what you're trying to say like the others mentioned but in general AO3 is easily the most open when posting what you want for your writings. Also keep in mind it's all about reading what's allowed and what's not from one website to another, and to label properly your stuff

[nicktaken]

I'm pretty sure sites like fanfiction do not allow r-content? Could be different now since I hadn't touched it since, well, mid teens.
Not familiar with all that you mentioned, but overall I'd say what Varysoir did. Post your stuff on sites dedicated to vore or general fetish smut (sorry, I personally don't know of any besides Eka). You're not going to expand your audience by presenting a very niche fetish to the general populace. And if you're looking to only read, then obviously general fanfics are not the place to look.

I'd say "yes", since the post does none of what you said.

[MarinLaFey]

The fact I cannot parse anything from your post, tells me if your writing is lacking in views, it is by no means because it has vore in it. I have read Vore on literally every single website that allows fanfiction. You can look up vore anywhere and find it.

[Morphy]

I've seen vore on fimfiction.net for the last 15 years (there's a few vore based story groups too). No surprises there. Most of it tends to be a quick, forgettable scene (either someone copied from 4chan greentext or they're going for shock value). However, a few are decently written with a good length and plot. The aforementioned story groups help quite a bit in sorting through the chaff to find the good stuff.

Of course, nearly every one of them also gets instantly downvoted without actually being read based on the vore tags (haters gonna hate)...

[ArcaneSigil]

Back before I discovered Eka's Portal I had some vore stuff on Fanfiction.net. They never did anything to remove it.

The rants make it quite difficult to parse.

But stories on those sites live and die by their tagging. Going without just makes them difficult, if not almost impossible to find, almost as badly as if you'd shotgunned a bunch of irrelevant tags on top.

Personally, that tagging is what makes me prefer AO3, because it's a lot easier to find stories that I'm into. I'm a little less keen on something like fan fiction's tagging system, since it's more limited, and much harder to search for stories through. It's a lot easier to find vore stories on AO3 compared to places like fan Fiction or DeviantArt, precisely because of that system. In the latter cases, I'd only found stories through search engines, which aren't the most reliable means of searching a particular site, particularly since advanced search operators aren't quite as respected as they used to be.

Although I imagine some deletions are from the authors hiding their work from anyone they know finding out, preventing it from showing up in their professional capacity, erasing themselves from the internet, or just being embarrassed enough they'd rather it be deleted than left to see, as opposed to the site deleting it because they found it unfavourable.

I personally have started cross-posting my stories to Ao3, but that's more for archival purposes than anything else; they don't tend to get a lot of views compared to when they're posted on Eka's.

The OPs wording is hard to parse, with incoherent AI fear.

So I'll slice it in a lens of thinking of the question as "FFN Vs AO3" on Vore.

Answer is, AO3 wins like a sledgehammer. And I'll vaguely explain why on a recalled talk on that site ages back.

I recalled FFN had a few lore (or a lot of) features back in what, the 2000s era. Hyperlink support, coloured text and faik a few funky unicode supports. (Maybe that's still there.)

But if late, those features and more got well, "enshittified" as much as the site always has a sort of constant NSFW purge cycle. Which is where AO3 got born from.

Vaguely recalled, I know. And no doubt overly simplifying a lot. But given how the demographic using FFN were underaged children at the time, who might have read or written the "M rated" lemon content...

And speaking of AO3, AI reasoning and all.

Although I imagine some deletions are from the authors hiding their work from anyone they know finding out, preventing it from showing up in their professional capacity, erasing themselves from the internet, or just being embarrassed enough they'd rather it be deleted than left to see, as opposed to the site deleting it because they found it unfavourable.

Hidden wise, that might also exist to bar scrapers from stealing fanfiction as a "paid" story.

Sucks, but that's the 20's era for you. AI over people era.

True, didn't even consider that angle. Although it would have already happened before, would it not? A grifter could just go to FF/Ao3, click and download the relevant story, and republish it. No need for modern AI.

Although I could see authors removing it to try and get around their works being used to train AI as well. As far as I know, neither place has gone the AI route, but they might be being proactive, considering the business that places like DeviantArt and Tumblr got up to.
