It’s always been a thing but now more authors are doing it in an attempt to avoid ai scraping

Always been a thing but I’m surprised you were able to find it without an account. To my knowledge the account fics aren’t even searchable on anon

Might be a fake fanfiction reader for saying this (I don’t really use AO3) but why the heck do you have to REQUEST to make an account? That feels like poor design

I also think when Wattpad and FFN get stricter their readers went to AO3 and left some awful comments so some people only wanted actual AO3 users to read their stuff

I was going through old bookmarks, so maybe they recently switched it to registered users? Or maybe I bookmarked it while I was already logged in

It’s just to filter out bots mainly. You just gotta wait like 3-5 days and you’ll get approved

AO3 has been hacked a bunch so I think it’s a safety thing. I got approved in a couple days.
