Related Links Fan Archive Planned for Preserving Fan Fiction posted by Arwen Spicer on Thursday June 14, @05:54PM In response to dissatisfaction with FanLib.com 's model for bringing fan fiction into the mainstream, members of the fan fiction community, especially on LiveJournal , have launched Fan Archive , a project for archiving and cataloging fan fiction from multiple fandoms for easy searchability and long-term preservation. Fan Archive's originators distinguish the project from FanLib.com mainly on the grounds that 1) Fan Archive is run by fan fiction writers; 2) Fan Archive expresses a willingness to fight legal battles, if need be, to defend public accessibility to fan fiction; 3) while FanLib.com is a commercial venture, Fan Archive founders intend to file for legal nonprofit status. A summary of Fan Archive's goals has been posted on LiveJournal by gchick. Trackbacks: Going to Court Over Fiction by a Fictitious Writer »
