Rationale
Archive of Our Own (AO3) is a fan-created, fan-run, nonprofit archive for transformative fanworks, primarily fanfiction. It offers a platform for writers to publish their works, and for readers to discover and engage with content. The site explicitly mentions features like a rich text editor for posting works, user profiles, tagging systems for content categorization, and tools for community feedback (comments, kudos). While it doesn't have a direct monetization model like a paid membership, it is a non-profit and accepts donations. It also provides search and browse functionalities, and mentions mobile access and social sharing. The concept of 'publications' is somewhat mirrored by 'collections' and 'series' where multiple works can be grouped.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
