It also has a much less restrictive Review system than -like LiveJournal or Reddit, it uses comments which may be edited and stacked on at your leisure, rather than having a single use for each chapter that can never be edited, replied to only privately.
ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN DOWN PDF
AO3 is very popular because it allows users to view fics as one single document instead of the separated chapters and even download stories as HTML, EPUB, MOBI, and PDF files, making it great for people who want stories on the go. It also gained popularity when had a crackdown on Mature Content Fics in June 2013 (the last time that website did such a crackdown was back in 2002). The rise in popularity has been helped along by the rise of Tumblr as both sites share a similar fandom mentality and outlook, as well as by AO3 being the official hosting site or encouraged posting site for a few popular fanfic fests and events such as Yuletide. The Harry Potter fandom on FFN had roughly 674,000 on its own as of the same day. To give an indication of how young it is compared to the existing behemoth FanFiction.Net (which started in 1998), AO3 reached one million stories in total on February 15, 2014.
ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN DOWN ARCHIVE
AO3 as a project of the Organization for Transformative Works was a response to this, and the goal of the 'archive of our own' is to ensure a safe archive that would not purge fanworks due to pressure either from Moral Guardians or aggressive copyright enforcers. The inception of the Archive started after the decline of LiveJournal as a fanfic hosting platform, especially the notorious Strikethrough '07 incident, where LiveJournal responded to threats from a group of trolls purporting to be To Catch a Predator-esque online vigilantes by deleting a large number of allegedly "objectionable", but in most cases entirely innocent, journals and communities without warning, which resulted in many fans losing the contents of their journals. Archive of Our Own (most commonly abbreviated as AO3) has been running since late 2008, gaining widespread popularity from 2011 onward.
