The Organization for Transformative Works (AO3), the nonprofit behind the fanfiction site, has announced that it is exiting beta for the first time. This announcement comes 17 years after AO3's launch. The most significant change is the absence of the "beta" label on the AO2 logo. Despite this, the organization will continue to improve the site.
