New Feature: Import Your Works from AO3!

June 30, 2025 at 7:15 AM

Tired of copying and pasting your stories one chapter at a time? We totally get it. Manually moving fanfiction can eat up hours you’d rather spend creating.

That’s why we’ve launched Import Works from AO3. Now, with just a few clicks, you can transfer your stories straight from Archive of Our Own to your profile!

No hassle. No mess. Just your work, exactly how you wrote it, ready to reach new readers. Try it now and save yourself the busywork.

Okay, how do I get started, though?

Step 1.

  • Press the “Add a work” button and then choose “Import”.
  • You can also access this feature from the “Author’s study” section of the menu by choosing the “Import” subcategory.

    • Step 2.

  • You will be redirected to the Import works page.
  • We kindly ask you to add the link to your profile info on AO3 because we need to verify that the works you are trying to import are your own works.
  • Enter AO3 nickname or link to your profile in the 2nd field.

    • Step 3.

  • Once you’ve done all of that, it will take about 60 minutes to import your works from AO3.
  • You will get the notification when the import is finished. You will find all your imported works in your Drafts.
  • Please, do not remove the link from your profile during this period. Otherwise, the import will not succeed.

    • Currently we are working on the feature that will help you import your works from fanfiction.net as well. If you have in mind any other websites that you’d like to see this feature implemented for, please, send us your ideas.
