There's this awesome fanfiction archive that gazillions of fen use, and it just keeps getting bigger. There's also this open source journal that was free and online since before everybody was talking about open source academia. There's this legal team that's weighed in on many issues relevant to fen and this amazing wiki which has huge amounts of information. There's just seriously a lot of good stuff happening in, around, and through the OTW. And while the people work for free, the tools and the space and the servers and the bandwidth cost money, so if you like or use this stuff, please please donate.
