I think I can confidently speak for all of us when I say we were all expecting a cat.
I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.
AO3 Etiquette -UPDATED
Based on both decent and not so decent replies, I have made some changes to my original post below.
It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:
As well as likes, kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished it, you liked it - so kudos.
If you really liked it, you should try to comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.
No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it (so use your notes to say if you want some constructive feedback). Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. No, posting it online is not an open invitation for that. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity and just want to share. Don't ruin that for them. I've seen so many authors just stop writing coz they can't handle the negative emotions the critism brings, and it's only meant to be a fun thing shared for free (pointing out tagging errors is not included in this).
Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.
There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.
For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.
The tag exception is if you don't want to tag a million things or spoil your story, you can rate it as "chose not to use warnings," and maybe tag the bare minimum.
Don't censor tags. How can someone exclude a tag if the word isn't typed out correctly? There are no content bans for terms so don't censor them.
If the tags are mostly content/trigger warnings, especially if they are things considered very fucked up or graphic, you might want to use "dead dove - do not eat" to ensure people know that you're not messing around with tags and what they get is exactly what you've warned them about.
Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLATONIC, like friendship or family.
Nothing is banned. This is an rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.
People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.
Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite or an exchange youve written for going public). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.
Instead of deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - consider making it anonymous or orphaning it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to your name anymore. If you still want to delete it, fair enough.
It's come to my attention that metaworks ARE allowed on AO3, which is something I wasn't aware of. So if you do post an essay or theory, please tag it as such so others can choose to search for it or exclude it. Art is also allowed.
The only reason this archive works is because NON ONE PROFITS. Do not link to your ko-fi or patreon or mention monetary gain in any way or you violate the terms and risk having your account removed. If anyone does link, it leaves the archive open to people claiming it's for profit and having the whole thing removed.
I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.
I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.

I got really bored recently so yeah, a ship chart meme for your shipping chart needs! Feel free to use, just please don’t cut out my username. More colors under the cut. EDIT: Since some of you seemed to like these, I made some for poly ships! Both OT4 and OT3.

☆ Random Obey Me! Headcanons ☆
Lucifer LOVES raisins. He's unnaturally obsessed with them. This greatly unsettles Diavolo, who hates them with a burning passion. (Sometimes when Diavolo isn't doing his work or he's annoying Lucifer, Lucifer will threaten to eat raisins in front of him).
Mammon is like really good at sculpting? He sucks ass at any other form of art but for some reason he's extremely talented in working with clay. Makes a decent profit off of it. (He gifted his first piece to Lucifer, who has it displayed in his room.)
One time Belphie farted really loud in his sleep and scared himself awake. Beel has never let him live it down.
Luke thinks spiders are cool. One time he found a spider at RAD and chased Mammon around with it (Mammon is terrified of spiders) as revenge for calling him a Chihuahua.
Simeon's true laugh is one of those laughs that isn't cute but is incredibly contagious and sounds funny. Everytime he starts really laughing Solomon loses his shit and starts laughing with him. Solomon has a wheeze laugh, which Simeon thinks is hilarious. They have to be separated or else they'll laugh each other to death.
One time a rat managed to sneak into Lord Diavolo's Castle and it appeared when Barbatos was giving Diavolo his morning tea. Barbatos let out the most high pitched girly scream and dropped the tea all over the floor and Diavolo, shattering the dishes. Diavolo didn't stop laughing for days. Barbatos is haunted by it this day.
Levi introduced Satan into FNAF and he became a hardcore Theorist. He thinks the games are fun to play but stuck around for the interesting but confusing lore. Sometimes stays up late at his computer researching it.
Asmo LOVES plushies. His whole room is filled with plushies of various sizes and colors. Went apeshit when he found out Squishmallows exist.
Levi is really good at dancing, he just doesn't have the confidence for it. One time Mammon went to go tell him dinner was ready when he was dancing and scared him. Levi screamed in fear, which scared Mammon and made him scream in fear. They both got scolded by Lucifer for being loud.
MC introduced Mammon into SpongeBob and he loves it. He thinks it's the funniest show he's ever seen (the only right opinion) but he won't admit it to anyone. Watches it when he's feeling down.
Beel is actually a great cook, but he doesn't do it that often since he'll eat the ingredients before he finishes. He's never allowed to cook any meals except for just himself.
Beel and Belphie are immune to onions. Since Beel will end up eating the onion before cutting it, all the brothers wake up Belphie whenever a meal requires onions.
Asmo really likes Mac & Cheese. Not the well made kind, the shitty boxed kind you'd get at the grocery store. It's his comfort food.
Satan reads fanfiction in his freetime. He hides it in a secret book somewhere and would rather be skinned alive than one of his brothers find it (especially Lucifer.)

artist tips
don’t save as jpeg
as a former yearbook editor and designer, let me explain this further
if youre only planning on posting your art online, them please save it as .png ;this is also better for transparencies as well
BUT
please, if youre planning of printing your art, NEVER use png. it makes the quality of the image pretty shitty. use jpeg or pdf instead. and always set your work at 300dpi to get a better printing quality - this means, the images are crisper and sharper and theres no slight blurriness. i had a talk with my friend who is currently taking design, and pdf is much better to use when youre working with a bigger publishing company because it still has the layers intact, but if youre only planning on printing your stuff at staples or at some small publishing store, the jpeg is the way to go.
this has been a public service announcement
Want a good picture to save as? PNG
Want a good printed picture? JPEG

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief
in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.
please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
This so upsetting. Please sign and share the counter petition.
If you broke my notes for none cheeseburger or spam bots, you can reblog this, and sign it, if you're a UK citizen.
Please don't let another generation if children grow up the way I did - alone and being told they are wrong about themselves.
