Mostly, Ao3 is great!
But I do have a problem with pseuds. If I have a pseud chosen as a default pseud, can I have the option to have that pseud link to my *account* userpage, instead of just the page for the pseud? The reason I ask this is because Scylla is my main pseud, but my Fast & Furious fics and my Torchwood and Supernatural fics are (or were, rather) under my Cuda pseud, because it's my journal name, and I'd like to make it a simple task of finding me. When I registered for Ao3, I did it under my Yuletide name, which was - at the time - Scylla.
I understand that a lot of people may only want to show people the fics that are tagged under the pseud they're commenting under. That's why I'd like the option to choose to have it show my entire account, rather than have it be absolutely the same for everyone. I switched my default pseud to Cuda, so that now when I comment on people's fics, it will default to that account name. But I didn't find out until dozens of comments later that my username on my comments links only to Scylla - which previously did not show any of the fics with content related to the ones I was commenting on.
If I comment on a Supernatural fic, I'd kind of hope the author might click my name and go see that I write them too! Because I do that. Maybe I'm one of the few who does. Currently I have those stories tagged with both pseuds, but that looks like they were posted by two authors, which looks really silly - and when someone comments, I get an email from each pseud.
I dunno, otherwise I think the site's great. But I sort of regret splitting out all my stuff under their relevant pseuds now.
Except the Yu-Gi-Oh fiction.
I kind of want to hide that. Heh.
