Archive of Our Own (AO3) memes center around the unique culture of the non-profit fanfiction repository. Unlike most image-based templates, AO3 memes often parody the platform's hyper-specific tagging system, the shared anxiety of server outages, or the emotional rollercoaster of reading specific tropes like 'hurt/comfort.' They frequently replicate the site's distinct red and white interface or story description layout to highlight absurd shipping dynamics or relatable writing struggles. These memes serve as a digital shorthand for the fan community to celebrate their favorite transformative works while poking fun at the intense, often niche nature of internet fandom.
