Not according to Renay, who helped spearhead the nomination. My understanding is it's the whole thing: the infrastructure, the community of writers, coders, the taggers, the whole thing.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Dear God, the kerfuffle over the AO3 winning the Hugo is just ridiculous. I'm having flashbacks.

Oh, please tell me Victoria Bitter showed up at the ceremony to accept the award for all their hard work!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Naomi Novik accepted the award and asked everyone in the audience who was part of AO3 to stand up. It was awesome.

Then the World Science Fiction Society came over and made the OTW clarify that none of us fanfic authors were allowed to say we were Hugo winners. Because you're not. You're just devaluing the award if you say that. Maybe you think it's funny, but you're just being assholes all over social media.

It was a super-tactful way to address what I'm sure is a legitimate misuse of a trademark by a very small number of people.
