- Description
-
"ao3" is an internet abbreviation for Archive of Our Own, a platform where people publish and read user-created fanfiction. The abbreviation is especially common among fandom participants, writers, and readers who already know the site. It carries an informal, community-specific tone and is usually left lowercase in casual posts. In the sample, the writer uses it as the destination for a newly posted fic before joking about immediately going into hibernation.
- Example
-
“I uploaded one chapter to ao3.” “You mean the chapter where the dragon gets a tax bill?” “That is the emotional climax, yes.”
A fan posted their ao3 link, refreshed the page twelve times, and then celebrated one bookmark like they had won a literary prize.
huzzah !! my fic has been posted to ao3 !!! time to hibernate
