Open Doors Announces New Import of Fanzine Works

Spotlight on Open Doors

The AO3 Fanzine Scan Hosting Project (FSHP) is a partnership between the Open Doors committee and fan-run preservation project Zinedom through which fanfiction and fanart originally published in print fanzines is imported to the Archive of Our Own. Fanworks can be imported to AO3 with the consent of either the creators of the works or the publisher of the fanzine in which the fanworks were published.

Today, Open Doors is pleased to announce a list of collections that it has created since September 2023 to house fanworks imported through the FSHP. A collection has been created for each fanzine from which one or more fanworks have been imported, but these collections do not contain every work from each of these zines, and many so far only include one work each in cases where Open Doors only has permission to import that particular work. For full transparency, Open Doors plans to continue to announce collections as they are created that may or may not grow with additional fanworks as additional permissions are obtained from more creators in the future.

As of August 2024, Open Doors has created the following collections to represent fanzines from which it has imported works:

For answers to frequently asked questions, please see the FSHP page on the Open Doors website. If you’d like to give Open Doors permission to import any of your fanworks that have been previously published in print fanzines, or if you have any other FSHP-related queries, please contact the Open Doors Committee.

We’d also love it if fans could help us preserve the story of any fanzines in which they may have been published on Fanlore. If you’re new to wiki editing, no worries! Check out the new visitor portal, or ask the Fanlore Gardeners for tips.

Thanks for your interest in preserving fannish history for future generations of readers!

    I’m glad to see fanzines getting archived online. I’ve never had opportunity to participate in or read actual fanzines, and I’ve always hated the idea of all of them being lost to time.

    Will there ever be a way to subscribe/follow collections like we can a series? Or if not, could collections get an RSS feed like major character tags do? That won’t work for the locked ones, though – perhaps the RSS feeds could include a Locked Work notice (no title or summary, just a generic “There is a Locked Work here”) to log in?

      Thank you for your encouragement of our fanzine project! We totally agree that it would be sad to lose this significant part of fannish history.

      That is a very good question about setting up a way of following collections. I will need to refer you to the AO3 Support team for an answer. You can contact them via this form: https://archiveofourown.org/support

      Good luck – and thanks again!
