How To Put "I am a Ao3 Author" on Your Resume

"Published (number of works on ao3) written works spanning (lowest word count) to (highest word count) to a nonprofit international digital archive dedicated to preserving and maintaining society's reactions, impressions, and culture regarding various forms of fictional media."

You can also simplify it to "Creative Writer - Archive (dates) and then put "Wrote for a nonprofit digital archive as a volunteer."

Plus, if you have a lot of hits or kudos on your works, you can say, "I reached (number of hits) people and (number of kudos) of those people signified to the Archive that my work resonated with them."

Because, technically, we are all volunteering our time and donating our writing to AO3's cause of preserving the fandoms and the culture around them. And people do sometimes just call it "Archive". So nothing I just said was a lie.

If you're writing on Ao3, then you have experience writing -- which is the skill you're presenting here. In the long run, you're not doing anything wrong by phrasing your experience in impressive ways.

I get a job interview.

I ask if this position is hiring for candidates based on skill, or based on personality.

They don't understand.

I pull out a chart and try to explain how many companies hire workers based on personality over skill, which excludes historically marginalised people even if they are highly qualified, including people from different cultures to the hiring manager as well as disabled people, especially autistic people who have one of the lowest employment rates of any disability group due to autistic people and non autistic people lacking an intuitive understanding of each others communication styles.

"It's a fair interview process sir."

I go to the interview.

"Tell me about yourself."

They're hiring based on personality.

You're not running a popularity contest, you're running a business.
