  Summary

  For 15 years, the Archive of Our Own (AO3) has provided a safe haven for fanworks while refusing to implement paid accounts, sell user data, or restrict fans' creativity. We're completely donor-funded and volunteer-run and currently serve about 34 billion pages a year—using servers that we own in order to reduce the likelihood of de-platforming due to our commitment to creative freedom.

  We know a thing or two about getting the most out of an Altairian dollar without compromising user privacy or free expression. Even if your project has different constraints, our approach might just help you stretch your project's budget.
