Hi there. I've had this message sitting for a while, and I was always thinking of how best to reply. I'm sorry that it's taken me so long and I hope this answer finds you well.

As much as the website is fairly good for archiving stories, posting and browsing, I didn't mind not being on there. When I watched more and more people gravitate towards it, I didn't find it necessary to follow at first. AO3 was not my primary source for posting my drabbles. I posted them elsewhere and even had a website with my own domain. But since everyone shifted there, I inevitably followed suit. Though I haven't really been taken with the website. It didn't really feel like home. I use it for convenience and because readers are familiar with it. I like the customization, and I've customized my AO3 to my liking, so it's more enjoyable now. I'm also not a big fanfic reader anymore. I hardly do, though I've read a few these days, but not many over the past three years.

Thank you for the compliment, love. I truly appreciate you. Writing longer stories is something I'd like to try again and have been working towards it since last year. Hopefully, this year, I will be able to do so. Thank you for asking.
