<![CDATA[Ques. abt A03]]>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-...?

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

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
