Archive of Our Own ^beta

Remembering Tiger Lily Roar, a multi-fandom fanfiction archive, is being imported to the Archive of Our Own (AO3).

Tiger Lily Roar was a fanfiction writer. She wrote works for several fandoms under two pen names, Lily Ann Lyones and Tiger Lily Roar. She passed away in 2023. Her fanworks will be preserved by her fans and friends.

Open Doors will be working with Eva to import Remembering Tiger Lily Roar into a separate memorial account on the Archive of Our Own.

We will begin importing works by Lily Ann Lyones to the AO3 after February. You will find them on the rememberingtigerlilyroar_memorial account.

We'd also love it if fans could help us preserve the story of Tiger Lily Roar on Fanlore. If you're new to wiki editing, no worries! Check out the new visitor portal, or ask the Fanlore Gardeners for tips.

We're honored to be able to help preserve the works of Lily Ann Lyones, and while we mourn the loss of her, we also realize that we are fortunate that she had a friend who was given permission to collect and preserve her works on the AO3 so that they will not be lost. Thinking about the death of a fandom friend may be difficult, but it can also be an opportunity to consider what will happen to your fanworks and accounts and those of your friends after your deaths. The Archive of Our Own has an option to name a Fannish Next of Kin, someone who would be able to gain access to your accounts in the case of your death or incapacitation. By naming someone who can act on your behalf, you can decide ahead of time how you want your AO3 accounts handled going into the future.

We are pleased to publish the OTW's 2023 Annual Report, available in PDF or HTML formats. The report provides a letter from our Board of Directors, a summary of our activities during the past year and our financial statements for 2023.

Some highlights from 2023 include a survey for AO3's 16th anniversary, major growth in OTW's social media presence, and Legal Advocacy successfully obtaining a renewal of the vidding exemption for the sixth time in our history!

You can access the 2023 report, and all earlier years, on the Reports and Governing Documents page of the OTW website. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

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.

As we're about to enter into a new year, here's a reminder of where you can find the OTW online.

We are aware there may be barriers to accessing our sites, whether it’s a social media account or our sites themselves. This is one of the many reasons we maintain official accounts in multiple locations. Maintaining accounts across multiple platforms allows people to connect with us in whatever place is easiest for them!

This year, we added two new social media platforms to our posting rota: Bluesky and TikTok, to better connect with fans in 2024 (and beyond). This increases the number of social media platforms Communications manually posts on to eight, also including:

• Facebook
• Instagram
• LinkedIn
• Tumblr
• Twitter/X
• Weibo

For a full list of official social media accounts maintained across the OTW, including by projects such as AO3 or committees such as Elections, please refer to Where to Find Us on the OTW website.

Unofficial Accounts

Occasionally, fans will set up unofficial social media accounts, either on the same platforms we use or in spaces where we have no accounts. Unofficial accounts sometimes make that status clear and sometimes they don’t. Similarly, fans on various platforms have set up RSS feeds of our news posts. These feeds are automated accounts and there is no one running them. The information may also only be available temporarily, and while they include official news, they are not controlled by the OTW and you won't be able to reach us there.

The best way to check whether a social media account is official is to refer to Where to Find Us on the OTW website. If you're subscribed to anything not on this list, it's an unofficial account.

Contacting Us

While we receive and try to respond to comments and questions on all our platforms, these accounts are not always moderated and the platforms themselves may restrict our responses in different ways. If you want to make sure you get an answer, you'll have better luck reaching us via our contact form.

If you have an AO3 related question and aren’t sure who to ask, check out the Contacting the Staff FAQ on AO3. If you're still not sure, contact Communications; if we don’t have the answer, we'll pass your message on to the relevant OTW team.

Spread the Word!

It is tremendously helpful to us when fans spread information about our organization, projects, or particular news releases. So, please help us boost relevant news and reduce misinformation by pointing people to our official accounts.

You can also let other fans know about the OTW website: what kind of information can be found on it and how it has contact forms you can reach us at! If you come across unofficial accounts which don't label themselves as such, please let us know.

Thanks for your help!

MuggleNet Fan Fiction, a Harry Potter fanfiction archive, is being imported to the Archive of Our Own (AO3).

In this post:

• A bit of background explanation
• What this means for creators who have work(s) on Mugglenet Fan Fiction
• And what to do if you still have questions

Background explanation

MuggleNet Fan Fiction is a Harry Potter fanfiction archive founded in 2004 by staff at MuggleNet.

During one of the many website transitions MuggleNet underwent in the last decade, MuggleNet Fan Fiction was broken, and the software became unfixable despite many attempts by the volunteer staff. MuggleNet cares about preserving the history of their work and Potter fandom as a whole, and is passionate about restoring MuggleNet Fan Fiction. While MuggleNet Fan Fiction will never be what it once was, they want to make the beloved works that were hosted on the site accessible again and are turning over stewardship to AO3, who is better situated to care for it.

The purpose of the Open Doors Committee’s Online Archive Rescue Project is to assist moderators of archives to incorporate the fanworks from those archives into the Archive of Our Own. Open Doors works with moderators to import their archives when the moderators lack the funds, time, or other resources to continue to maintain their archives independently. It is extremely important to Open Doors that we work in collaboration with moderators who want to import their archives and that we fully credit creators, giving them as much control as possible over their fanworks. Open Doors will be working with MuggleNet to import MuggleNet Fan Fiction into a separate, searchable collection on the Archive of Our Own. Eventually, links to the old site will redirect to the collection on AO3, which can be searched and filtered in order to locate individual imported works.

We will begin importing works from MuggleNet Fan Fiction to the AO3 after January 2025. However, the import may not take place for several months or even years, depending on the size and complexity of the archive. Creators are always welcome to import their own works and add them to the collection in the meantime.

What does this mean for creators who have work(s) on MuggleNet Fan Fiction?

We will send an import notification to the email address we have for each creator. We'll do our best to check for an existing copy of any works before importing. If we find a copy already on the AO3, we will add it to the collection instead of importing it. All works archived on behalf of a creator will include their name in the byline or the summary of the work.

All imported works will be set to be viewable only by logged-in AO3 users. Once you claim your works, you can make them publicly-viewable if you choose. After 30 days, all unclaimed imported works will be made visible to all visitors. We will then permanently close down the site.

Please contact Open Doors with your MuggleNet Fan Fiction pseud(s) and email address(es), if:

1. You'd like us to import your works, but you need the notification sent to a different email address than you used on the original archive.
2. You already have an AO3 account and have imported your works already yourself.
3. You’d like to import your works yourself (including if you don’t have an AO3 account yet).
4. You would NOT like your works moved to the AO3, or would NOT like your works added to the archive collection.
5. You are happy for us to preserve your works on the AO3, but would like us to remove your name.
6. You have any other questions we can help you with.

Please include the name of the archive in the subject heading of your email. If you no longer have access to the email account associated with your MuggleNet Fan Fiction account, please contact Open Doors and we'll help you out. (If you've posted the works elsewhere, or have an easy way to verify that they're yours, that's great; if not, we will work with MuggleNet to confirm your claims.)

Please see the Open Doors Website for instructions on:

• importing your works to the AO3
• adding your works to the new collection MuggleNet Fan Fiction

If you still have questions...

If you have further questions, visit the Open Doors FAQ, or contact the Open Doors committee.

We'd also love it if fans could help us preserve the story of MuggleNet Fan Fiction on Fanlore. If you're new to wiki editing, no worries! Check out the new visitor portal, or ask the Fanlore Gardeners for tips.

We're excited to be able to help preserve MuggleNet Fan Fiction!

Every month or so the OTW will be doing a Q&A with one of its volunteers about their experiences in the organization. The posts express each volunteer's personal views and do not necessarily reflect the views of the OTW or constitute OTW policy. Today's post is with Cesy, who volunteers with the Finance Committee.

How does what you do as a volunteer fit into what the OTW does?

Finance committee manages paying bills and keeping us legally compliant, publishing the accounts and getting them audited, filling in the right forms so we remain registered as a non-profit and can collect employer matching donations. We work with the rest of the org to budget our money.

What is a typical week like for you as a volunteer?

Very variable - most weeks will be a mix of answering emails within the committee or from other committees, replying to a discussion in committee group chat, or attending a committee meeting and taking minutes. We review payment requests that come in from other committees to determine if the requests are in line with the OTW’s financial policies and procedures. We may have follow-up questions with the volunteer who requested the item, or send it to Board for their review.

Other weeks will be busier if it's budget time and we need to check spreadsheets to compare figures, email out to all the committee chairs, or proofread posts. Other members of the committee do monthly bookkeeping and record various accounting transactions, save all of the relevant documentation needed such as invoices or receipts, produce the annual financial statements, work with the auditors for the annual audit report or sort our state registrations. In the USA, we have to be registered both federally and in every single state that we might receive donations from, which needs a lot of paperwork to be signed and posted, though some states accept forms online these days.

What made you decide to volunteer?

I originally joined in 2009 while Archive of Our Own (AO3) was still in closed beta, as l'd been a coding volunteer for Dreamwidth, and they mentioned AO3 as being another friendly project. I wanted to improve my programming skills and spend time with fannish friends doing something useful. Over the years, l've held a variety of roles within the OTW. I rejoined Finance after there had been a change of Treasurer and Board to help the new team find missing info, document what had been done previously and sort things out.

What has been your biggest challenge doing work for the OTW?

Dealing with people - we have many different cultures represented, lots of styles of business and volunteer communication, and it’s easy to make a mistake and upset people. A moment of carelessness or tactlessness can take a lot of time and effort to recover from and repair the relationship.

What fannish things do you like to do?

I read a lot of fic. I’m mostly an old-school lurker, I try and kudos or comment or bookmark or rec. I write a little, I’ve tried recording podfic, and I watch vids occasionally. I’m known among my friends for picking up new fandoms by osmosis and never watching canon, because I struggle to watch long-form TV or films.

Now that our volunteer’s said five things about what they do, it’s your turn to ask one more thing! Feel free to ask about their work in the comments. Or if you'd like, you can check out earlier Five Things posts.

Recently, the Australian Parliament passed the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill as part of the Online Safety Act of 2021 amendment. Starting in late 2025, the bill will prevent teenagers under 16 from using social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X. The bill plans to apply enormous fines to tech companies that don’t take measures to prevent minors from creating social media accounts.

Despite its intentions of protecting minors' mental health, the ban has sparked debate over digital censorship and privacy – raising notable concerns related to identity verification, digital access, and freedom of expression. One frequently cited concern is that this ban separates young people from any information and online support networks they may have: many young people primarily receive news on current events from social media and have cultivated online communities where they connect with other young people.

Others critique that setting a ban will lead to problems going unreported by teens who successfully circumvent it. In addition, social media companies have raised further concerns that this bill lacks guidance or advice on implementation.

Experts also comment that the bill lacks input from the group it impacts most – young people. The Australian government has said that they will solicit further expertise from young people, but critics argue that it's too late.

You can read more about the Australian Act here.

Outside of Australia, other countries have put forth or are discussing similar ideas:

• In Norway, the prime minister has announced plans to raise the minimum age to use social media from 13 to 15 in order to better protect young people from the "power of algorithms."
• Meanwhile in Turkey, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority announced plans to ban users under 13 from media applications; however, following news of Australia's ban, they adjusted their direction and are now considering a ban of all users under 16.
• In the UK, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology has also said that a social media ban for people under 16 is "on the table" in the name of online safety.

Understandably, bills like these have raised concerns regarding what counts as "social media" – more directly, whether this bill will affect OTW projects. While the Legal committee is keeping their eye on these and other bills that may affect us, we do not believe these bills will affect any of our projects, including AO3.

While bills like these may not affect AO3, they are a reminder to stay alert and aware of legal changes in your jurisdiction. If applicable, you may also want to contact your local representatives and submit concerns regarding how legislation will affect fans in your country.

Is there a new law that might affect fans or fannish activities in your country? Send us a message about legislation you think we should know about. (Submitting a concern doesn’t guarantee that it will be included in a future Spotlight on Legal Issues post.)

In October and November we prepared for and then deployed the updated Terms of Service. We also included a variety of smaller improvements from as many contributors as we could.

Special thanks and welcome to our first-time contributors Amy Lee, anechol, Dev21Maker, lydia-theda, MarleaM, minionluvr, Mugdha Gupta, mystyrust, nil-cipher (Wanda), Paola Solari, phthallo [Annabel Quach], and slavalamp!

Details

0.9.379

On October 5, we deployed a bug fix in preparation for the upcoming changes to the Terms of Service as well as two other small fixes.

• [AO3-5538] - Tag set pages containing a nomination for an existing canonical tag used to give a 500 error if the wrangling team edited the canonical tag's suffix (e.g., " - Freeform") or diacritics. Now the nomination gets updated correctly and the error will no longer happen.
• [AO3-6815] - We made some tweaks to our README and CONTRIBUTING documentation on GitHub.
• [AO3-6816] - We bumped our version of reviewdog/action-rubocop from 2.19.0 to 2.19.1.

0.9.380

On November 4, we did a small deploy relating to the planned updates to the Terms of Service.

• [AO3-6825] - When tag wranglers changed a tag's suffix (e.g., " - Freeform") or diacritics, the changes were not being reflected on any bookmarks where the tag was used as a bookmarker's tag. We've added some cache expiration to make sure they'll get updated going forward.
• [AO3-6824] - Some of the automated tests we run using GitHub Actions require a dependency called ImageMagick, which used to be installed on Actions by default. An update to Actions stopped including it, so we updated our tests to install it.
• [AO3-6828] - We wrote some code that allowed us to email all AO3 users to inform them about the TOS update and Underage warning rename.

0.9.381

On November 19, we deployed the updates to the Terms of Service that were announced earlier in the month.

• [AO3-6838] - We updated the text and format of the TOS and TOS FAQ pages. This also required us to update various references to those documents across the Archive, including the prompt that requires you to agree to the TOS before accessing the site.
• [AO3-6831] - As part of the Terms of Service update, we've renamed the "Underage" warning tag to "Underage Sex" to make its meaning and purpose easier to understand. Please refer to the "Clarification to the Archive Warning for underage sexual content" section of the AO3 Terms of Service: 2024 Update Guide for more information.
• [AO3-6837] - We switched our Docker setup for automated testing to Chromium instead of Chrome to support Apple Silicon.

0.9.382

On November 24, we updated the DMCA Policy and implemented a number of small improvements all over the Archive.

• [AO3-4283] - The HTML classes on the marked for later section of the homepage were inconsistent with the classes we use on the marked for later page itself, so we've standardized things a bit.
• [AO3-5421] - On works, news posts, and various other places, the vertical spacing between lines of text could vary a bit depending on whether the text was in a paragraph or, for example, a list. We made some adjustments to keep it consistent.
• [AO3-5951] - If you tried to use an unordered list in your work summary or bookmark notes, the list displayed horizontally on the blurb. We've made it display vertically, as you'd expect from a list.
• [AO3-6244] - We removed an extra underline from hovered links in the Notes section of works.
• [AO3-6268] - Emails generated by gift exchanges would be sent as only one email to all owners at once. Now they will be sent to each owner individually, so each email can be translated separately in the future.
• [AO3-6376] - The browser page titles for changing username, password, and email had an extra "User" at the end. We've removed it.
• [AO3-6819] - We fixed some invalid and inaccessible HTML on the Blocked Users and Muted Users pages.
• [AO3-6834] - We made the "Parent Thread" link accessible when reviewing comments left on works or news posts with comment moderation.
• [AO3-6821], [AO3-6826], [AO3-6827], [AO3-6839] - Our automated dependency updater updated several of our dependencies: webrick from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2, Rails from 7.0.8.4 to 7.0.8.5, rexml from 3.3.6 to 3.3.9, and codecov-action from 3 to 4.
• [AO3-6768] - Did you ever look at the browser page title on your drafts page? It used to say "Drafts Work," which was just weird. Now it says "username - Drafts," much like your works page says "username - Works."
• [AO3-6829] - We updated the DMCA Policy page with new text from our Legal and Policy & Abuse teams that better explains the difference between Abuse reports, DMCA takedown notices, and DMCA counternotices – what each of them are, how to submit one, and how we handle them.
• [AO3-6840] - We added a link to the TOS FAQ to our site map.
• [AO3-6841] - In response to feedback from the 2024 TOS Update news post, Policy & Abuse has updated the definition of the "Underage Sex" warning to read "sexual activity involving characters under the age of 18" in order to more clearly indicate that the "Underage Sex" warning is required whether or not the sex is consensual. (All works featuring non-consensual underage sex must carry both the "Rape/Non-Con" and "Underage Sex" Archive warnings, or else use the "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" label.)
• [AO3-6842] - As part of AO3-6838, we updated the work posting and editing forms to include links to the Content Policy and the TOS FAQ. Now that reminder also appears on the forms for posting or editing a chapter, previewing a draft, importing a work, and editing a work's tags.
• [AO3-6843] - To make it easier to log in if you've already agreed to the TOS, or to follow explanatory links from the TOS if you're still deciding whether to agree to them, we've stopped the TOS popup from appearing on the homepage, FAQs, and login page. We've also fixed an issue where the popup appeared on error pages for the Support and Policy & Abuse forms.

I. UPDATES TO AO3 TERMS OF SERVICE

Board has voted to approve the new AO3 Terms of Service (TOS), which is now live. The 2-week feedback period prior to the vote received several thousand comments, and Policy & Abuse (PAC) worked with Communications' News Post Moderation subcommittee to respond to more than 400 of them. The overall reaction was positive, and everyone involved is excited by the number of users who agreed this is an improvement to the TOS. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback!

Accessibility, Design & Technology (AD&T) and PAC worked hard throughout October and November to roll out the new page changes, including some accessibility improvements. In the coming months, PAC plans to add new questions to the Terms of Service FAQ addressing some of the comments they received.

II. CONNECTING WITH FANS

In November, Communications engaged with fans in social media-specific posts. One series was dedicated to warning users about the U.S. congressional bill HR 9495, and another highlighted AO3-related trivia commemorating the site’s 15th anniversary. The OTW is also now on TikTok! Initial videos have gotten lots of engagement, and Communications is excited to connect with fans on a new platform.

Fanlore ran the new Fandom Friendships Challenge for the first time, in collaboration with Communications' Fanhackers. The challenge ran from November 11 to 24, with 24 editors participating and 18 editors completing all six tasks. Congratulations in particular to FaalThien and Indes, as well as Lianne from Fanhackers, for their effort in organizing this new challenge from scratch!

Legal responded to several queries about law and fandom, and they worked with other committees to coordinate responses about how U.S. electoral and legislative developments might affect the OTW and AO3. The short answer is: the OTW will continue to provide an inclusive space for fannish expression. The OTW will stand up for fans' free expression in court and legislatively, in the U.S. and worldwide.

We have seen that fans have been a powerful force for promoting free expression. We will continue to pay close attention to political matters that may affect us, and we will continue to let people know when there are opportunities for their voices to be heard.

III. ELSEWHERE AT THE AO3

Since the code changes involved in TOS updates concluded, AD&T published a new release featuring code from several new contributors to welcome them to the AO3 project. As a reminder, AD&T welcomes code contributions from the community: check out AO3's contribution guidelines for more information!

Open Doors announced the import of the Fan Fiction Writers Archive, a multifandom fanfiction archive that began in the 1990s as a GeoCities website. They also shared a roundup post regarding the fanzine fanworks preserved so far via the AO3 Fanzine Scan Hosting Project (FSHP).

In October, Support received 1,761 tickets, while Policy & Abuse received 2,626 tickets. Tag Wrangling wrangled more than 410,000 tags across over 20,600 fandoms: more than a thousand tags per active wrangler!

IV. GOVERNANCE

Board has selected and approved new co-chairs for the new User Response Translation committee. They are glad to see the new committee established and will continue to assist with its initial setup. They are also monitoring trending topics that may potentially influence the OTW’s development.

Board has also continued Board training for new Directors, asynchronous check-ins with various committees, and working with the OTW Organizational Culture Roadmap team.

Board Assistants Team (BAT) worked on a host of projects and tasks: writing replies to volunteer feedback about the OTW Whistleblower FAQs, drafting or updating internal documentation, investigating non-profit training, working on the OTW website, assisting with the OTW Culture Roadmap, and more!

Finance issued and filed the 2023 Form 990, and the 2023 audit report is in its last stages! Both will be uploaded to the OTW website soon.

Translation also finished their translations of the latest Budget update, which is now available in 28 additional languages.

Transformative Works and Cultures is looking forward to the upcoming publication of our Centering Blackness in Fan Studies special issue on December 15!
