Excuse me, but do i have to get an invite to be able to sign up? I don't know anyone who uses this so it would be near impossible for me to get an invite. How can I create an account?
You don't need to get an invitation from a current account holder personally. That used to be an alternate method- users could request extra invite codes ahead of time and save them to give to friends (that way the friend didn't have to wait on the queue.) Some account holders may still have unused invite codes, but AO3 isn't giving out extras anymore.
Now you need to request the code and wait on the queue, but the invitation page is currently unavailable. When it is available it is a "Get Invited" button below the Welcome blurb on the Archive's homepage.
I'm not an AO3 volunteer, so I have no idea when invitations will be turned back on again.
