Organization for Transformative Works donation and volunteer drive

By Rebecca Tushnet

I'm a member of the board of the Organization for Transformative Works, whose mission is to preserve and defend fanworks. We are currently having a fundraising and volunteer drive, and I encourage interested readers to check us out:

Last month the OTW launched Fanlore, our wiki, which is being populated with new articles as we speak. The first issue of our journal, Transformative Works and Cultures, launched in mid-September. We have recently launched our new website, which means all OTW members can now access our news service via an RSS feed from our own blog. And the Archive of Our Own has entered limited public beta, and is filling up with stories even now! Four of our big projects have gone from dream to reality. ...

From October 13 to October 20, we invite you to make a donation to the Organization for Transformative Works. Every little bit counts, and whether you?re able to donate $10 or $500, your support means the world to us?and enables us to do the things we do.

If you have an interest in volunteering, please check out our Willing to Serve post as well. There are lots of opportunities for coders (we train coders!), graphic designers, lawyers, and people with other skills that can help us build a longterm, non-profit home for fanworks of all kinds.
