Our October Membership Drive has ended, and we could not be more grateful for your generosity. We are glad to announce that thanks to 7683 donors in 78 countries, we have raised a total of US$276,467.69! We’re particularly pleased that 6147 of you chose to begin or renew your OTW membership with your donation.

Although the membership drive has ended for now, we do accept donations year-round. You can become a voting member at any time of the year—you just have to join by June 30 at 23:59 UTC to be eligible to vote in our annual OTW Board of Directors elections in August.

While our Development and Membership team is hard at work mailing out your gifts, we want to take a moment to say thanks. We wouldn’t be here without your support in its myriad forms: your financial contributions, Fanlore articles, Transformative Works and Cultures citations, comments and kudos on AO3, and fanworks both old and new. It means the world to us and we are incredibly grateful! Thank you so much for your participation in this drive, and for making the OTW what it is today.
