FebobeFic Archive
Completed: June 2021
At the time of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies, Frodo-Baggins-Of-Bag-End (Febobe) became known in fanfic circles for creating Frodo-centric, hurt/comfort fic. So invested was she in the genre that she even set up a Yahoo group called FrodoHealers, in which she not only shared her work but welcomed that of other writers. Sadly, due to her chronic illness, many of her works were never completed, but to protect those that were, Open Doors helped transfer her works to an archive on the AO3, something that she often spoke of doing herself one day. Find works at the FebobeFic Archive.
For more information about the archive and its move to the AO3, see the FebobeFic import announcement post. To learn the history of the archive or to share some stories of your own, check out the Frodo Baggins of Bag End’s Fanlore page.

Gilmore Girls Adult Fic
Completed: October 2021
From 2002 until 2016, GilmoreGirlsAdultFic strove to be a safe place for writers to write about their favorite Gilmore Girls couples without the limitations of the most prominent fic archive of the time, but also provided moderation and proper rules so that those who only wished to write misogynistic works about the Girls were not welcome. Though time has passed and Yahoo Groups no longer exists, the fandom and their ardor to see more about their characters than what broadcast television allowed has not. Find works at the Gilmore Girls Adult Fic AO3 Collection.
