now that ao3 as a whole is a hugo nominee and has reminded us all that it is an incredibly well-designed, excellently maintained project with an archival system that is the envy of many librarians etc, it is a great time to remember that:

ao3 is run entirely by volunteers 
there are no ads or monetization at all to bother site usersand also the site works on strict guidelines to prevent us from being sued to bankruptcy etcwe use this amazing site for FREEserver space is EXPENSIVE and ao3 needs A LOT OF ITthe otw (which is the non-profit that runs ao3) spring donation drive is happening right now!donations to the drive go to ao3 AND other projects run by otwso if you use ao3 and appreciate all the hard work being done to keep it running, GO DONATE. SUPPORT OUR HUGO NOMINATED ARCHIVE THAT ALLOWS US TO SAFELY AND FREELY ENJOY FAN CONTENT.

if you can’t donate, spreading the word, congratulating ao3 on the nomination, and thanking the ao3 volunteers for their hard work would also be lovely!!

SUPPORT THEM YOU FOOLIGANS
