Dear writers on AO3: "No archive warnings apply" is for your fluff, soft character, chill smut or story fics. It's for when there's nothing big/triggering and none of the major archive warnings show up in your story.
"Creator chose not to use archive warnings" is THE EXACT OPPOSITE. It is a Massive "enter at your own risk" sign indicating one or more of the major archive warnings or other nasty/gnarly/triggering tags may apply but would be a major spoiler to tag (e.g. horror/thriller fics where one of the major characters is killed). PLEASE don't use this tag if you mean "no archive warnings apply," they're not the same thing.
Sincerely, someone who just saw four T-rated fluff fics in a row tagged "creator chose not to use archive warnings" and had a minor heart attack.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

Speaking of unpopular opinions.
Anyone can ship anyone they want with anyone that want. End of sentence. There are no caveats, there are no, 'but what ifs'. There is no statement that needs to be placed after it, it is whole and intact.
"But I don't like when someone ships underage characters"
You don't like it, you don't need to go find it, or read it. And you especially do not need to read it to intentionally traumatize yourself and then take it out on the author. Those are characters, they are Not Real. The author however is, and deserves the basic civility of your minding your own business.
"but this character is a lesbian and shouldn't be shipped with men"
That is a character, a two dimensional scrap of paper and some words. They are not real, they are not human. Some garden variety author or shipper is not doing anything harmful by shipping them with a dude. No one is being hurt by this. Do not read it if it isn't your thing. A shipper is not going into someone's home and forcing a lesbian to sleep with a dude, that is not what is actually taking place here." But if you read something you didn't like and you go into someone's DMS and tell them to kill themselves for shipping a lesbian with a dude, you have a problem.
"do not ship ace/aro characters"
People can do whatever they want with characters. They are not real. They are not being harmed by being shipped with people. You do not need to read it. Is it perhaps upsetting to not see a lot of fic for aro/ace characters, perhaps. There is a fix for that, write some yourself. Taking it out on authors who have decided to write something isn't the correct course of action.
"don't make this character cis when they're trans."
Once again the character is not real. They are not being harmed by this kind of fic. It is impossible to hurt them, they do not exist beyond the paper they were written upon. Do not harrass folks who decide to write these stories. Just don't read them.
And in specific, for anyone who is claiming that writing these fics takes from the very little representation you already have. That is not what's taking place.
Fic writers are not going into your house and stealing your toys and then not letting you play with them. They also aren't the definitive answer on who this character is or how they should be portrayed. And neither are you.
The only one who has any 'authority" are the writers of the show in question. And no amount of fanfic is going to tip the scales in any one direction. Trying to claim that a few fic writers are going to ruin your blorbo because they gave him a girlfriend, or shipped them with someone you don't approve of, forgets the one major rule fandom; 'do whatever makes you happy, don't hurt the real people behind the screen, and fuck the haters.'
