The Disney Kink Meme

Completed: May 2024

The close-knit microfandom for "9" began creating fanworks a few months before the film's release in September 2009. There is now over a decade of fanfiction and fanart posted to The 9 Forum, which we wanted to preserve, anticipating that the message board software will not last forever.

VinXperience officially closed its message board in 2017, but the many works of fiction will remain available through the AO3 archive.
