Open Doors is pleased to announce the completion of five archive import projects! Here on the AO3, not only will the original contents be preserved, but all of the archives can continue to grow.
Chains: The Powerfic Archive
Completed: 1 July 2015
Founded in 2000 and originally named Boys in Chains: the slave!fic archive, the Chains archive is a multi-fandom archive for both fiction and art, with a focus on works about relationships between people of different ranks or status. To reflect its openness to femslash, het, and gen, as well as slash, its name was changed to Chains: The Powerfic Archive during the import. Check it out at Chains: The Powerfic Archive! For more information on the archive, see the original Chains import announcement.
Henneth Annûn Story Archive (HASA)
Completed: 1 September 2015
HASA was a large archive of works inspired by the Tolkien Legendarium established in 2002. HASA was notable for including critical essays and fandom meta as well as fanfiction. This amazing collection can be found here: the Henneth Annûn Story Archive. For more information on the archive, see the original HASA import announcement. The Henneth Annun Research Center is still available at Henneth-Annun.net.
This import featured the debut of a fantastic new tool for importing large archives, created by Open Doors' liaison from the Accessibility, Design, & Technology Committee, Ariana!
Table for Three
Completed: 4 October 2015
Table for Three was founded in 2005 as a dedicated archive for the Harry Potter Trio Ship, featuring stories in which Harry, Hermione and Ron are involved with each other romantically. If you're looking for Ron/Hermione fic, Harry/Hermione fic or Harry/Ron fic, you'll find plenty of archives and collections to suit your tastes. If, on the other hand, you're looking for the three of them in a great writhing puppy pile, this is the place for you. The collection can be found at: Table for Three. For more information on the archive, see the original Table for Three import announcement.
The Hermit Library
Completed: 13 October 2015
The Hermit Library is a Blake's 7 fanfiction archive. It was among the earliest multi-creator archives in that fandom, as well as its largest for some years after its founding in 2000. Read more at the Hermit Library AO3 collection, or the original Hermit.org import announcement.
Seamus/Dean Forever
Completed: 2 November 2015
Dedicated to the Harry Potter fandom rare pairing of Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, this archive was founded in 2002 and active through 2005. Featuring both fanfiction and fanart, the collection can be found at: Seamus/Dean Forever! For more information on the archive, see the original Seamus/Dean Forever import announcement.
A big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who made these projects possible, and who continue to work to preserve at-risk fanworks.
