The OTW-Archive software is an open-source web application intended for hosting archives of fanworks, including fanfic, fanart, and fan vids.
Its development is sponsored and managed by the Organization for Transformative Works, a nonprofit organization by and for fans.
Development of the OTW-Archive software is an ongoing labor of love. You can see it in action on the Archive of Our Own, aka AO3, a multifandom archive also run by the OTW.
You can find more information about the history and future of the AO3 project on the OTW website.
If you wish to use this software, SquidgeWorld has generously provided setup notes.
We welcome pull requests for bugs described in our issue tracker. Please see our Contributing Guidelines for further information!
We do not have a public chat, but you are welcome to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
We grant your Jira account permissions for commenting on, assigning, and transitioning issues after you create your first pull request.
There is currently no API for the OTW-Archive software. While it is something we're considering for the future, we ask that contributors instead focus on issues already in our Jira issue tracker.
