This International Fanworks Day (IFD), we once again celebrated fandom and its myriad communities. Now that the festivities are over, we at the OTW want to thank everyone who participated in making IFD2025 happen!

Be it by posting works tagged with the International Fanworks Day 2025 tag on AO3, by taking part in the IFD 2025 Fanlore Challenge, or by participating in Feedback Fest on AO3 or the OTW website, and sharing your favorite fanfics with fellow fans; we appreciate every single one of you for contributing!

Over on Discord, we spent 30 hours playing games and chatting about all things fandom. Besides IFD classics like List Builder and Five Things, we also tried some new games like Fandom Emoji Quiz, and brought back Poetry Round Robin! You can find our fan-written poems, as well as re-written song texts from Lyrics Round Robin on our IFD account on AO3.

Let us know in the comments what your favorite part of this year’s IFD was!

We hope to see you again at next year’s 12th International Fanworks Day, where we will come together once more to celebrate fandom and fan culture.
