Re: Who runs AO3 and why? And how?

(Anonymous) 2013-03-08 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
The thing you most need to know is that it's run by a non profit that was formed specifically so that fan communities could "own the goddamn servers" and never have to worry about being jerked around by non-fannish people trying to censor them and/or profit from them. Hence the name, An Archive of Our Own (pretty sure it's a reference to the famous essay by Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own)
Naomi Novik has gotten her fair share of criticism for her leadership decisions on AO3, but I will pretty much adore her forever for making it a reality.
And I don't think they're lacking for infrastructure costs. Last time I checked, they were saying the only thing they really needed was more volunteers with coding/database experience.
