AO3 was totally my playground (and I've mostly read J2 fanfic, because I got started on it while I was trying to get caught up with the show (I started late Season 5), and there was JUST. SO. MUCH!!! That I got sucked in, and have been immersed on that playground ever since.
I *have* read some good Sam/Dean fanfic, but mostly those that my sister, hsifeng has recommended, or by authors or lists she recced.
It's like all my previous fandoms were a test drive for the huge ocean that is Supernatural fanfic!
AO3 is the greatest for fanfic on the Kindle, because it is SOOO easy to download .mobi files that work seamlessly. The problem? I have so many fics that I grabbed because either they sounded good, they were highly recced, or were everything by authors who I read & liked, that stuff is lost in there. Also, even though I have 8 pages of collections... there is no way to keep them prioritized (it's alphabetical or the last one looked at), so in big categories (like J2) I have like 300 filed stories alone. And unfiled is insane.
But once I started using my tablet, I realized that I could easily look up LJ fics (hard to do or read on the Kindle), and then save them by category to my Delicious account. Plus, it was a bigger, and I like the tabs options. And I could still download a lot of fic as PDF files from AO3 or by many LJ users. And since I could do almost everything at least as well as on the Kindle... I've hardly picked up my Kindle since. When it used to live in my bag & go everywhere with me.
