      In general, AO3 will host fanworks of any origin, including fanworks created by paid commission. You may generally state that the work was a commission as long as you do not indicate that you received payment for the commission or that you are available to create other paid commissions. For more information, refer to our TOS FAQ: Can I post the fanworks I create on AO3 and say that they were commissioned? Can I invite other people to commission me?
