It's time to celebrate another milestone for the Archive of Our Own! We are incredibly excited to announce that AO3 now hosts more than 14 million fanworks. We only passed our last fanworks milestone in May, meaning fans have collectively contributed nearly 2 million works this year alone. The quill of collective fandom truly never rests! This incredible achievement is only possible because of the tireless and passionate work of fans all over the world in creating, reading, and sharing content across different fandoms and platforms.
International Fanworks Day
Did you know that there is a special day dedicated to celebrating our fannish community? Every February we come together for International Fanworks Day (IFD), where you can meet fellow fans, play fun games together, and talk to some of our volunteers. All those activities take place on our IFD Discord server, which we open only for the occasion. If you’re interested in joining, mark the date in your calendar. And keep your eyes peeled for more details as February approaches!
The Organization for Transformative Works is the non-profit parent organization of multiple projects including Archive of Our Own, Fanlore, Open Doors, Transformative Works and Cultures, and OTW Legal Advocacy. We are a fan-run, entirely donor-supported organization staffed by volunteers. Find out more about us on our website.
