Brian/Justin archive news
Yup, it's happening...
Dear The Brian/Justin Fanfiction Archive authors,
I’m reaching out to you today about The Brian/Justin Fanfiction Archive, a Queer as Folk (US) fanfiction archive dedicated to the pairing Brian Kinney/Justin Taylor. The archive was founded in the 2000s by Tonya, who was eventually overwhelmed by the volume. A group of people chose to take it over, but sadly, those people dropped off and it was left to a few of us to manage it. Those people, Nightsister and Elyxer in particular, went far and above anything we as a fandom could have hoped. Unfortunately, people fell away and though I hired and paid people to manage the site it didn’t go well.
However, I have also contacted the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) for assistance in moving The Brian/Justin Fanfiction Archive’s content to a collection on the multi-fandom archive they maintain, the Archive of Our Own (AO3). (Specifically, I will be working with the Open Doors committee. You can read about their recent import projects at http://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts?tag=18.)
Here is where I would like to ask for your help!
1. If you already have an AO3 account and have posted your The Brian/Justin Fanfiction Archive works there, please let me know your The Brian/Justin Fanfiction Archive pseud(s) and e-mail address(es) as well, so that we won’t import your stories. (We can also e-mail you instructions for mass-adding stories to the new collection on the AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/bjfic)
2. If you don’t already have an AO3 account but would like one to import your stories yourself, please let me know your The Brian/Justin Fanfiction Archive pseud(s), and the preferred e-mail address to send the AO3 invite to. (We can e-mail further instructions for importing stories and adding them to the new collection on the AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/bjfic.)
It's been forever and ages since I've posted anything on LJ, much less anything requiring code, so I'll fix any wonky links if necessary.
Any questions, contact either me or Nightsister and what we can't answer, we'll find out for you. You can see the Ao3 announcement on their home page for more info.
(Cross-posting where I can think of - if I miss anywhere, let us know)
