I didn't post this weeks ago when I was buried under comments and RL, but the more I read about FanLib and ff.net, the more enthusiastic I become about [livejournal.com profile] fanarchive.

We need a new doorway. While I've never been against ff.net and I've often sent new writers there to test their wings unobserved in a giant fanfiction warehouse, I think we definitely need a new doorway to fanfiction, one that's run by fanfiction writers. So here's the announcement I neglected to post before:

(This announcement is being forwarded from the fanarchive community on LJ.)

A group of fanfic fans is forming to set up a nonprofit organization for collective fannish projects, including building a central fanfic archive. We are setting up shop in the fanarchive community on livejournal, located here:

A couple of big updates have been posted today (Monday June 4), including the basic outline of our organization structure and our call for volunteers. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please stop by, give us your thoughts, and sign up for announcements!

Here are the two posts:
