Public Record: On Leaving AO3 and DA
This section exists as a public record of my experience with harassment on DeviantArt and AO3. I’m not interested in rehashing drama or inviting discourse—this is here because the internet has a long memory, and I’ve learned the hard way that silence gets rewritten by other people. What happened affected my mental health, my creative spaces, and ultimately my decision to step away from certain platforms. I’ve moved on with my life, but I’m keeping this here as documentation, for context, and for my own peace of mind.
