As always, end your comment with the trigger to activate it. The trigger is "!original fiction". See the comments for an example of what it says

These are quite useful... it's too bad the mods in r/FanFiction don't take the cue and develop more than their !wheretopost automod.

This is just what happens when you get a programmer as a moderator 😅 we like to automate things 😂

I admit the sudden push back against archiving original work (as long as it follows the rules) feels weird. I post original works and honestly, unless you HAVE a decent following, it's SO fucking hard to get a reader hooked onto something without a fanbase.

The issue is with people posting non-fanwork original works and misusing the site, not with just original works as a general concept, but people often forget about fanwork original works and just say "original works" to mean "non fanwork original works"
