Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Archive of Our Own (also known as AO3) is a website for Fanfic and Fan Works, and also hosts other media, such as Fan Vids, Fan Art and podcasts. The site itself has been running since late 2008, but only started to become widespread and popular from 2011 onward. To give an indication of how young it is, AO3 contains over 8,000,000 fan works in total (as of August 2021); Fanfiction.net, its main competition and predecessor, is estimated to host over 20 million stories. The rise in popularity of AO3 was helped along by the rise of Tumblr, as both sites initially shared a similar fandom mentality and outlook; when the late 2010s saw Tumblr becoming more restrictive, AO3 began to serve as a fandom haven. |
