Archive of Our Own (AO3) is a nonprofit open source repository for fanfiction (fic) and other fanworks contributed by users.

- It's open to all ratings of fanfiction, from general audiences to adult.
- The archive allows users to host meta fandom writings as well as fiction.

AO3 allows of certain fandoms and story types (including songfic) that have been banned from FanFiction.Net.
- Users have the ability to link various pseudonyms and names under one account and also to "orphan" stories to remove their names from them.

- AO3 Users have the ability to import stories from other URLs.
- There are collections and challenges.
- The site has a "Kudos" button to show that you read a story and enjoyed it without having to leave written feedback.
- AO3 Authors have the ability to add new fandoms if they are not already listed without having to wait for a site administrator to add them.
- There's a warning system for common fannish triggers and controversial subjects, which an author can choose or choose not to use.
