I donate to avoid ads. The whole point is to have somewhere with no ads. Why would I want some rando to use my nice ad-free space I have paid for as their personal marketing platform? <ref>{{cite web | url = http://olderthannetfic.tumblr.com/post/162353798794/psa-dont-mention-commissionspatreon-on-ao3 | title = olderthannetfic.tumblr }}</ref>}}

In August 2019, Archive of Our Own was awarded [[The Hugo Award]] for Best Related Work. It was the first time a fanfic archive or the [[Organization for Transformative Works]] had ever won a Hugo, the most prestigious award in [[Science Fiction Fandom]]. To date, no [[fanfiction]] has ever won a Hugo, despite the existence of a [[Fan Writer]] category. It was seen as an advancement from fanfiction's poor reputation in [[Science Fiction|SF]] fandom, as well as in mainstream society.
