OTW Membership Drive
October 13-17, 2012Probably if you’re reading this, you’ve at least heard of the AO3 — read stories on it, maybe posted — but you may not realize that it’s 100% donor-supported, that we are and always will be ad-free (except for our donation drive banner ;), and that we’re never going to try to find some way to make a profit off the content.
The AO3 is funded by the OTW, the Organization for Transformative Works, which makes possible the archive and a ton of other projects that also would be too big for any one fan to accomplish alone — including Fanlore, Transformative Works And Cultures, Open Doors and the Fannish Culture Preservation Project, and our legal advocacy.
So if you use or value these — please support if you can! $10 is all you need to donate to become a member and show your support, and there is shiny shiny swag at higher levels. :D
Speaking of which, CHECK OUT THE AWESOME SWAG! Kudos water bottle! *makes grabby hands*
(PS: You do still have to wait in the AO3 queue for an invite though — sorry! For privacy reasons we keep all financial/RL information completely separate from our services.)
And please reblog reblog reblog! <3
