AO3 a fanfiction site that is largely romance, some of it explicit, some of it not, and more popular with girls than with boys, but definitely readers from all slices of life reading all sorts of genres

but they are notable for taking a hard freedom-of-speech stance on you can post extremely hardcore or problematic erotica as long as it's clearly tagged, stuff that most sites would ban and delist.
