      Elaborating a bit on Forested_Woodlands' comment, AO3 is an archive for transformative fan content, which can also allow original works since it's up to the author to decide if their original work is transformative. But by posting a rant work (or anything other type of non-fanwork the teens on here upload), you are not transforming anything, you're just talking about real-life events.

        Ohh, I see. I confused rant work with meta, which I've seen people archive here. Ty ^-^
