You are welcome at Ao3.

No matter who you are, how you identify, where you come from, what you believe, or how you experience the world—if you enjoy reading, creating, or discussing fanworks, there is a place for you here.

A Space Built by Fans, for Fans

ao3.info is a permanent, panfandom archive created to support fan creativity in all its forms. This site exists because fans need spaces that respect their voices, their interests, and their right to explore stories and ideas freely.

Whether you are a writer, a reader, a commenter, or a quiet browser, you are part of this community. Every interaction helps shape the archive and influences how it grows.

Respect, Inclusion, and Ongoing Improvement

We recognize that no single platform can meet every need perfectly from the start. We will not always get everything right, and we will not always make everyone happy. What we can promise is that we listen.

Feedback from our users matters. We strive to consider it thoughtfully and respectfully as we work to improve ao3.info over time.

Creative Freedom with Shared Responsibility

We believe in creative freedom and the importance of self-expression. Users are free to explore ideas, themes, and fandoms within the limited restrictions necessary to keep the site functional, lawful, and usable for others.

We also value privacy and anonymity. You are not required to reveal personal details to participate. Our Terms of Service explain how we protect user privacy and balance expression with site safety.

Growing Toward a Truly Panfandom Future

We know there is still more to build. Expanding accessibility, improving language support, exploring additional content formats, and creating better ways for fans to connect are all part of our long-term vision.

This archive grows through shared effort. With continued participation and support, Ao3 will keep evolving into a more inclusive and flexible space for fandom.

A Community, Not a Gate

We believe it is possible for people with different perspectives, identities, and interests to coexist, create, and share respectfully. ao3.info is built on that belief.

This archive exists for you. You belong here. Come read, write, explore, and help shape a fandom space that values diversity, creativity, and mutual respect.
