I don't understand? The exchange is run on AO3, which lets me set up the fic exchange offers/requests and matching automatically, so an account is needed for that site specifically to sign up. I have invites, though, for anyone who needs them.

No, it's an exchange. Other people make the prompts, but you write the story.

AO3 itself is a multifandom fan enterprise archive. You can join by invite and then just post fic like on fanfiction.net. Except it doesn't have the infuriating things that ff.net does, like coding to block copy-pasting to interfere with saving offline. In fact, AO3 automatically generates ebook versions of the fic and lets you download it. And you can post any format you damn well want, be it script, images/comics, embedded video, streaming audio... Which is miles ahead of ff.net.

Also it has kudos (which is like a "like" button) as well as reviews. And the reviews thread like comments so you can easily have actual conversations with people who read your work.

And it embraces all ratings and subject matter. Unlike ff.net's whole "ew, sex" ethos.

Then it has huge hidden functionality like running massive fanfiction exchanges on (relatively) easy to set up templates. Which I have been experimenting with recently, but that's just one more complex thing it can do. It's a fic archive like any other, which is why your original question perplexed me. In terms of accessibility alone though it's MILES ahead of ff.net.

Archive Of Our Own. Heh. :)

Sorry, seem to have missed this comment. I'm doing a catch-up looking for stuff I've missed.

I have invites for AO3 if you need one, I had a bunch left over from Troubled TAles.
