    Genuinely how on earth did Archive of Our Own get shortened to A03?

    Does anyone know?

    Where did the three come from?

    And why is it a zero and not an O?

    Am I js stupid or-...?

      AO3 came from the fact there is one word that starts with A and three words that start with O.

      It could've been AO^3 (A times O cubed/to the power of three) but AO3 became the norm

      It's also included in domains ao3.org

        @Faust OHHH OKAY. That makes sense now. Saying AO3 rolls off the tongue better than AOO (bcs of wouldn't usually be included). Thank you.
