OTW-Archive is the open-source Ruby on Rails web application behind Archive of Our Own (AO3), a platform for hosting fanworks such as fanfiction, fanart, and fan vids. It is developed and maintained by the Organization for Transformative Works, a nonprofit run by and for fans.
Use cases
- host a fanfiction archive for a fandom community
- self-host a fanworks archive like AO3
- run a multifandom story and fanart hosting site
- deploy an alternative AO3 instance such as SquidgeWorld
- contribute to the Archive of Our Own codebase
When to choose
- you need a full-featured, battle-tested platform for hosting fan-created works
- you want tagging, collections, and works management out of the box
- you are contributing to AO3 or running a community archive with similar needs
When to avoid
- you need a public API - none currently exists
- you want a lightweight or general-purpose CMS rather than a fanwork archive
- you lack experience operating a large Ruby on Rails application
