As we’re about to enter into a new year, here’s a reminder of where you can find the OTW online.

We are aware there may be barriers to accessing our sites, whether it’s a social media account or our sites themselves. This is one of the many reasons we maintain official accounts in multiple locations. Maintaining accounts across multiple platforms allows people to connect with us in whatever place is easiest for them!

This year, we added two new social media platforms to our posting rota: Bluesky and TikTok, to better connect with fans in 2024 (and beyond). This increases the number of social media platforms Communications manually posts on to eight, also including:

• Facebook
• Instagram
• LinkedIn
• Tumblr
• Twitter/X
• Weibo

For a full list of official social media accounts maintained across the OTW, including by projects such as AO3 or committees such as Elections, please refer to Where to Find Us on the OTW website.

Unofficial Accounts

Occasionally, fans will set up unofficial social media accounts, either on the same platforms we use or in spaces where we have no accounts. Unofficial accounts sometimes make that status clear and sometimes they don’t. Similarly, fans on various platforms have set up RSS feeds of our news posts. These feeds are automated accounts and there is no one running them. The information may also only be available temporarily, and while they include official news, they are not controlled by the OTW and you won’t be able to reach us there.

The best way to check whether a social media account is official is to refer to Where to Find Us on the OTW website. If you’re subscribed to anything not on this list, it’s an unofficial account.

Contacting Us

While we receive and try to respond to comments and questions on all our platforms, these accounts are not always moderated and the platforms themselves may restrict our responses in different ways. If you want to make sure you get an answer, you’ll have better luck reaching us via our contact form.

If you have an AO3 related question and aren’t sure who to ask, check out the Contacting the Staff FAQ on AO3. If you’re still not sure, contact Communications; if we don’t have the answer, we’ll pass your message on to the relevant OTW team.

Spread the Word!

It is tremendously helpful to us when fans spread information about our organization, projects, or particular news releases. So, please help us boost relevant news and reduce misinformation by pointing people to our official accounts.

You can also let other fans know about the OTW website: what kind of information can be found on it and how it has contact forms you can reach us at! If you come across unofficial accounts which don’t label themselves as such, please let us know.

Thanks for your help!
