very interesting post! and i liked the one about technology you linked to as well. actually i liked that one even more - i feel like (without really knowing, i suppose) that i have a fairly good grasp of what is ok in fandom and what isn't (and therefore shake my head/tut when people do things that i don't consider to be ok!), and when i think about these rules i'm usually thinking about what was and wasn't ok in zine era, becuase that's where my fandom is (i.e. the past) but i don't know that much about goodreads at all, beyond the fact that i know people are posting fic there. but... it's still under your fandom name! surely that's all right - in fact, i can hardly imagine a world where you WOULDN'T want people to come back and find your fic under your fandom name, but i suppose it's about who finds it and what they might say about it to you. which links back to this post - but as you say, anyone who can google 'teen wolf fanfic' will eventually stumble across ao3.
speaking of zines, of course (another full circle link) i guess another thing about goodreads is the idea that you can negatively review things, without telling the author. which is something we didn't really have in fandom for a while on the internet, but obviously had in the age of zines, and now we've sort of got again with goodreads. (actually - i see, as i scroll down through the very extensive fanlore page, that others have said so too. good good)
i wonder if it is because you spend so much time on fanlore that your LJ posts (not a wiki) come out as three-dimensionally as this. you can't just read from top to bottom, as then you'd miss lots of other interesting things. anyway - it's all interesting. thanks for posting!
