OTW News Tumblr Passes 20,000 Followers!

This week, the OTW is pleased to announce that the OTW News Tumblr account has surpassed 20,000 followers!
When we first began posting on Tumblr in 2012, AO3 had 10,000 canonical fandoms and under a million published fanworks, TWC was producing its fifth anniversary issue, the Open Doors project was importing its first archives, and Fanlore was approaching its 25,000th published page.
In the ensuing years, AO3 has grown to 50,000 canonical fandoms and 10 million published fanworks, TWC has released over 35 issues, Open Doors has completed more than 75 archives, and Fanlore users have published more than 60,000 pages.
Thank you to everyone who’s followed these milestones and more with us here on Tumblr. We look forward to continuing to keep you informed about the OTW’s activities in the years to come!
