@DemonDollX I'm a little wary now with posting, but, they fortunately can't claim anything about my works as they've been on AO3 first. But yes, people are jerks everywhere. Now, A03 they don't really remove works unless they contain nude children images or the writer is underage. You can make complaints and report harassment so they're aware that you're being targeted and they do respond to their emails. I've reported several spammers and have to show evidence of them violating the spam policy before submitting the report, which is nice. And yes, people are annoying everywhere, but at least there, they have to prove their claims. The guests comments are the worst, but you can chose to restrict them, but if any of your readers aren't on A03, they wouldn't be able to comment then. So, best to leave them on. And that is insane about what happened to your friend. Seems very like fanfiction. I hope you're dealing with her absence well.
