Archive Of Our Own Resident Evil (2024)

FAQs

Is the archive of our own legal? ›

The legal team working on behalf of Organization for Transformative Works believes that the publication of fan fiction on AO3 is legal under the Fair Use doctrine, meaning that they need to be "transformative", which they interpret as giving new meaning to the original work.

On Archive of Our Own (AO3), users can make profiles, create works and other Content, post comments, give Kudos, create Collections and Bookmarks, participate in Challenges, import works, and more.

AO3 (letter O, not number 0) stands for Archive Of Our Own. It's a nonprofit website that allows you to post stories (fanfiction as well as original works) and basically, the rule is there are no rules. Here are the Warnings and Ratings you can give a story.

You can post works on the Archive that don't relate to specific fandoms. For more information, please refer to Can I archive original fiction? in the Terms of Service. You can post these types of works using the "Original Work" fandom tag.

Rowling, who fortunately for Lippert has a liberal attitude to fan fiction, had to officially deny that she had anything to do with it. Another concern is that an author working on a series might encounter in fan fiction an idea that is similar to or the same as the author's own.

Chinese AO3 fans then retaliated against Xiao Zhan's fans by boycotting the actor himself, blaming him for not reigning in his fanbase. As of 2024, AO3 is still blocked in China.

While this cannot be guaranteed, children who use AO3 may become used to accessing explicit and violent images and videos without consequence, which can have severe consequences when attempting to access similar material on their own or when encountering similar situations in life.

Don't Panic—AO3 isn't shutting down.

why do people prefer ao3 over wattpad? Because AO3 cares about its writers, whereas platforms like ffn and wattpad are for-profit companies that only care about their profit margins and getting the biggest and most inoffensive slice of the internet traffic pie.

Essentially it's a generic darkfic warning. The name comes from a scene in Arrested Development where a character finds a package in a refrigerator labelled, “DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat!” Curious, he opens the package anyway and discovers it contains exactly what the label says: a dead dove.

What does the 3 in AO3 mean? ›

It combines the characters A, O, and 3 with arms raised in celebration, symbolizing the joy of fannish creation on the Archive. The acronym "AO3" comes from the initials of the English site title Archive of Our Own–an A and three O's.

The difference between Wattpad and AO3 is the content. Wattpad still has original work of people who just want to start writing fiction, so the focus is not necessarily on fanfiction. AO3, however, has a main focus on fanfiction.

Content alone doesn't make something illegal. That's certainly the case with a story created by typing out words. The only restrictions are on what age group the work is being distributed to, which is the reason FFN and other sites ask for age/birthdate when someone registers. Doing it in real life is against the law.

restricted means that only people who are logged in can see it.

Once you've completed your test, you can either edit the fandom(s) on the work, or delete the work and repost it under the correct fandom(s). Note that posting a work to AO3 will prompt an email notification to anyone who has subscribed to you as a user, or to any series the work may be part of.

While this cannot be guaranteed, children who use AO3 may become used to accessing explicit and violent images and videos without consequence, which can have severe consequences when attempting to access similar material on their own or when encountering similar situations in life.
