[Picture is the screen-capture of an internet advertisement featuring a skinny fan and then a muscular man. The ad says: "Life without Fan Fiction" (picture of skinny man); "Fan Fiction at FanLib.com (picture of muscular man)" "fanlib: where the stories continue... get started"]

I want to see fanlib succeed. I don't think they were the monsters fandom made ouf of them.

Quoting from a brief part of the FanLib page from the website fanlore.org:

Fanlib was a commercially-owned, for-profit multifandom fanfic archive, run by Chris and David Williams, which was open between May 18, 2007 and August 4, 2008. It began with 3 million USD of starting capital, and was heavily criticized until its buyout by Disney. Like Fandom, Inc., it was widely perceived as an attempt by outsiders to profit from the work of fans. FanLib was part of the original inspiration behind the OTW, notably Astolat's "We Need an Archive of Our Own" post[1].

However, unlike some failed startups, Fanlib did attract a number of fans, many of whom considered it their internet "home". This group of fans was not only alienated and left homeless by the site's closure but also felt unwelcome in many other fandom spaces that were hostile to Fanlib.
