Is there a Fediverse option for hosting fanfiction, or maybe web novels/serials/etc? Like an AO3 alternative, basically. I looked around but couldn’t find one, the closest thing that kinda works are the blogging platforms like writefreely. If there isn’t, do you think fanfiction would be a good candidate for federation?

WriteFreely would be your best bet of what exists. However, the communities are small between instances, and there’s not any search algorithm or anything to my knowledge.

With what currently exists on the Fediverse, I think that having a WriteFreely and posting what you write to: your own Lemmy community; a Mastodon account; a Pixelfed account; depending on your needs and use, would be the best way of going about it within the current ecosystem as it exists.

No federated alternative as of yet. It’s one of the platform types that the fediverse is lacking.

Dreamwidth (which is not a platform to host fanfiction, but rather to discuss it, share recs, etc) has had federation proposals, but nothing has come out of them.

WriteFreely is in the fediverse, but it’s more of a blog platform the style of blogger, wordpress, or medium.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”.
