A few months back, I  participated in an interview about the media fandom oral history project by the OTW journal, Fanhackers. It was released today

An Interview With The Media Fandom Oral History Project – Fanhackers

So, AO3 have started using Cloudflare in order to help deal with the problems caused by the DDoS attack.

I wonder how they're dealing with FOSTA and SESTA compliance these days...

Fanfiction Enthusiasts Are Digitally Preserving Decades Worth of Zines

The Fanzine Scan Hosting Project is helping vintage LGBTQ zines find new audiences—and a home online.

4. #Fanlore Is the 4th place where our fanzine #scans come in handy. The last 10 years we've been documenting the existence of every fanzine that we scan on #Fanlore the fan run wiki operated by the #OrganizationForTransformativeWorks or #OTW , the group that also hosts #ArchiveOfOurOwn or #AO3. We upload the cover and the tables of contents along with low resolution copies of sample interior art.

Come read about the first Star Trek fanzine published in 1967 https://fanlore.org/wiki/Spockanalia
