austoriesnowAUs live everywhere and nowhere. A story you loved was spread across a creator's social media accounts, posted out of order, and gone the next time you went looking for it. There was no single place to find an AU, no easy way to send the writer your reaction or a tip, and no home where a finished story could just stay.
We have been on the creator side of that. We know how much work goes into a good AU: the writing, the chat design, the timing of every panel. That effort deserves more than a feed that buries it in a day.
So we built austories. One place to read AUs start to finish, in order. One place for writers to keep the stories they poured themselves into. A home, not a feed, and it is for you.
What everyone is reading right now.
An AU is a story told in image panels: chats, screenshots, calls, notes. You read it top to bottom, in order. Here is a peek at how it reads, and how you read or make your own.
Search by fandom, ship, or the vibe you are in the mood for.
Panel by panel, nothing cropped. Your place saves automatically.
Save it, follow the writer, and tip them directly if you love it.
Some of the most inspired AUs are the hardest to monetize. So we don't try to. We give them a home instead.
Publishing on austories is open and free. Upload your panels in order, keep your rights, and add your own tip jar so the people who love your work can support you directly. austories takes nothing.
