An Archive of Our Own tweedle_ February 22 2010, 16:05:19 UTC
Name of archive or author site: An Archive of Our Own

Name of site owner: http://transformativeworks.org/about/people

URL link to site: Archive Of Our Own, A project of the Organization For Transformative Works.

Reasons that you recommend this site: 'The Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) is a nonprofit organization established by fans to serve the interests of fans by providing access to and preserving the history of fanworks and fan culture in its myriad forms. We believe that fanworks are transformative and that transformative works are legitimate. The OTW represents a practice of transformative fanwork historically rooted in a primarily female culture. The OTW will preserve the record of that history as we pursue our mission while encouraging new and non-mainstream expressions of cultural identity within fandom.' [Archive of Our OWN FAQ]

And that has gotta be good. Yeah?

Ah, you beat me to it!

What with The Last Ship closing up in the next year or so, I've started transferring all my stuff over there, too. I must admit it's very sleek-looking and user-friendly. For those of us who are utterly useless at site-construction, it's a very handy place.

*big thumbs up*

Heh. Sorry. :) It is wonderful to have so many fics gathered in one place. I haven't tried it in anger yet, but it is lovely to find so many much loved stories there.

Reasons that you recommend this site: This comm represents the funnier side of LOTR. I'm reccing it because I hope it will make you laugh too and you will be inspire to tell us about the fics, websites, manips, audio, or anything else LOTR related that you have found funny. There is a mix of all sorts of things from all sorts of people. The more the merrier.

I just thought about a series I haven't read in a while and there are besides the series a few other stories:

Gillian's Lord of the Rings Stories.

I stumbled over this site and started to read a story and never ecver gave a look at the synopsis and so I read the first ever for me working mpreg story. I know, most don't even consider to give a mpreg story a chance, but this one really works and it is beautiful written - the main story and the sequels:
