The best way to use Ao3 is to just press search, edit search, and then you can type and edit any fandom/tag/preference that you want. You can find EXACTLY what you want to find as long as it exists. I usually start with the pairing - you type it into the “Relationships” spot - as long as there is a fanfiction for the pairing, the pairing will pop up when you search it. Usually goes by this format (using a random pairing): “Dean Winchester/Castiel” or the names will be flipped around. You can select the rating. I usually set mine to Mature or Explicit. Moving on. You can set TAGS. This is where it gets crazy. Here are some tags that exist: “Praise Kink” “Spencer Reid Whump” “Sexual Tension” “UNRESOLVED Sexual Tension” “Fluff” “Fluff and Angst” “Domestic Fluff” “Tooth-Rotting Fluff” - probably hundred more of tags that you can search up and apply to your search - however, more than 3 kind of specific tags, and you probably won’t find a fic. I’d say 2 or 3 tags can greatly narrow your search while still finding fics. You can also search Characters, Language, select whether they should be finished or unfinished works (or no preference), Authors, yada yada yada. The other great function that helps me a lot is the sorting function - you can do ascending or descending, and I find the best searches you can do are “Date Updated” descending or “Word Count” descending - “Date Posted” is probably also helpful, though I prefer “Date Updated”. “Date Updated” finds you the most recent fics - if you’re crazy like me and have consumed MANY works of a certain pairing - using this can help you find the most recent fics/new works and especially help you follow updating fics. I usually just look out for when a fanfiction/a certain title updates to the top again (as in the author updates it, it goes to the top of the fics each time it updates). If you haven’t read all the fics to a certain pairing and especially if you have A LOT of fics for the particular ship (yay! congrats!), then sorting it by Word Count descending can maybe help you find the length fic/what kind of fic you’re looking for. I find anything in the 1,000 to 9,000 word range can be a really good short or long form one-shot. Anything 50,000-200,00+ can be a good longer form fic. The fics between 9,000-50,000 are kind of a blend between this - usually good shorter-feeling multi-chapter fics. Anything shorter than 1,000 can be good but sometimes isn’t fulfilling or well written, and 250,000+… the author is either a God tier writer or they’re just someone who writes like shit and doesn’t know how to stop. If anyone read this who wants to use Ao3 but has trouble understanding its layout, let me say - I hope this helps. In my not so humble opinion, Ao3 is far superior to Wattpad or tumblr for fan fiction. I only hope this may guide you to finding the fic you’ve been craving DEEP in your soul.

Middle aged, married and can confirm I LOVE Ao3 - the search function is incredible, you are very wrong Madame President, I'm sorry. You can filter to EXCLUDE tags so if there's a fandom you want to search but a pairing or an ACT you'd rather not read, you can filter them out (assuming the writer used tags haha). If it aint broken don't fix it 😶‍🌫️

getting accustomed to the layout did take me a while, but once i was used to it, it immediately became the only site i read fic on. their tag system is flawless! being able to tag your own bookmarks? life changing. excluding tags is so so awesome as well.
