The Organization For Transformative Works (OTW) is a non-profit organization that advocates for the transformative and legitimate nature of fan labor activities, including fan fiction, fan vids, anime music videos, and real person fiction.[3][4][5] It is an organization advocating for the legality of fan works, and its primary focus is protecting fan fiction, fan art, fan videos, and other transformative works from legal snafus and commercial exploitation.[6]

The Organization for Transformative Works offers the following services to fans in fandoms:

  • An open-source, non-commercial, non-profit archive for fan fiction and other transformative fanac ("Archive of Our Own"), built by fans (many without previous coding experience)[7]
  • A wiki for preserving fandom oral history (Fanlore)
  • Legal assistance to the fandom community, addressing the legal issues with fan fiction and other fan works
  • Preservation of fannish historical artifacts, such as zines and Geocities websites ("Open Doors")
  • A peer-reviewed academic journal for scholarship on fanworks and practices ("Transformative Works and Cultures")
  • A series of short documentaries on vidding, in combination with participatory culture academic Henry Jenkins and the New Media Literacies project at Massachusetts Institute of Technology[8]

Archive of Our Own

The Archive launched into Open Beta on 14 November 2009,[9] and has been growing steadily since.[10][11]
