Support the OTW - March membership drive

Yea Gods, March 2010 is my two-year anniversary of involvement with the OTW and the Archive of Our Own. In this time I've worked with a wonderful team of people who have given me opportunities to grow and learn, and to use my knowledge and skills (for Good... for now). Thank you!

I've seen the AO3 grow from a private test server of baby-code with the ability to create an account and post a work (sort of), to a Beta site being used by almost 6,000 people (well, 5,813 as of this morning). We're still rolling out improvements and building an Archive that everyone can use, and we plan to expand into supporting fanart and vids in the future! We're going to continue to do everything we can to support and protect fanworks, and the vibrant community we're proud to be part of.

To keep this community (and our tech) thriving, we need your support - if you're in a position to donate a few bucks (or you know, enough to qualify for a cool, cool water bottle with the OTW logo) then now is an excellent time!

Paddling in the bay

It has been WAY TOO LONG since I did this - maharetr came as well for her first time. We spent a couple of hours noodling around in the playboats, practising deep sea rescues and playing ball and now I am pleasantly sleepy.
