Follow Friday: Fandom
Okay, so everyone is excited that the Archive of Our Own is moving to Open Beta in about 13 hours. You know how people found out about Open Beta? By subscribing to 
otw_news. That's the news blog for the Organization for Transformative Works, which is the non-profit organization which sponsors the archive, the Journal of Transformative Works and Culture, the Fanlore wiki, and is filing amicus briefs and public comments on legal issues of concern to fans, around the issues of fair use and free speech.
Another great fannish comm is
as_others_see_us. This is a weekly post of references to fanfiction and media fandom in the media, along with the occasional discussion.
Last but not least is the
geekfeminism_feed. The Geek Feminism blog is not about media fandom, but it is about geek culture and women, so the areas of interest overlap.
P.S. I have one Archive invite available. First person to private message me for it, gets it. Mischief managed
