Fanworks come in many different forms — audible, visual, textual, tactile, and even edible — but they have something in common: they would not exist without the passion, creativity, and effort of the fans who produce them.
The Organization for Transformative Works is a fanwork, too — a nonprofit organization created by fans, for fans, which runs on generously donated time, money, and imagination. Through our projects, we preserve fanworks and fannish history, advocate for fans’ legal rights, and strive to ensure that fannish voices are included in the growing public conversation about fandom.
During our membership drive from now through April 25, we’ll be highlighting each of our projects and inviting you to lend a hand in this ongoing labor of love. If you create or enjoy fanworks; if you use Fanlore or the Archive of Our Own; if you read Transformative Works and Cultures; if you want to help rescue at-risk fanworks from destruction and defend fans’ rights to create and share them; then please donate. Volunteer. Tell a friend.
Your donation is tax-deductible in the United States. If you have questions about donating, check out our membership FAQ or drop us a line.
Like all fanworks, the OTW depends on fans for its existence. Be a part of this ongoing creative endeavor — please donate today.
