AO3 was launched in 2009 by a group of fans who sought to create a platform that would provide a safe, inclusive, and organized space for fanfiction and other fanworks. The site was designed to be a comprehensive archive of fan-created content, allowing users to share, discover, and engage with a vast array of stories, artwork, and other creative endeavors. Today, AO3 boasts over 4 million registered users, with a vast collection of over 3 million works across various languages and fandoms.
