In the interest of accuracy, I'm trying not to use the word "readers" to describe people who open other people's works on AO3. After all, we have video and art and photos and podfic and fanmixes and songs and crafts and tons of other media, so reading isn't all that happens there.

I'm mostly using "audience" now. What do y'all think? Are there other terms anyone can think of?

Freeforms of the Day: Art, Podfic, Video, Fanmix, Crafts, Cosplay

* selenay936 said: Audience and consumer work well, I think. Viewer kind of works but still doesn’t encompass everything. The way we interact with fandom and archives has changed so much over the last few years, which is awesome but creates some difficulties with words
