Well, here's one: you've written at least one story in a fandom I read, and until I saw this linked on fandomnews, I'd never seen it or heard of you. (Sorry!)
I'm hugely more likely to read something posted to AO3 than something posted anywhere else; that alone is enough to make me post my stuff there. Plus, it's a really really purty archive and I love the features.
Also, I'm more likely to be able to find a fic I loved but failed to bookmark if it's there. I often find myself going, "Wait, who wrote that teacher AU?" I can google all I want, but lots of things will never come up. And I'm just not going to go back through every LJ and DW of every person I read in the hopes of stumbling upon it, you know?
Can't complain about having an advocacy group at my back, either, when I post to AO3.
