Pondering.

I love AO3 - I use it all the time as a reader and on the rare occasions I write, I'm glad it's there. I'm truly grateful for its existence, and the immense amount of work that AO3 and OTW volunteers put in.

I can't help but wonder, though, at what the AO3 might have been if it had been launched as a commercial venture, using the same kind of model as Dreamwidth. What might it look like today?
