“ Tumblr is credited for fostering the porn GIF growth,
and it has long been lauded as a space with porn created by ladies,
for ladies. As a medium dominated by girls and other people at odds with traditional
social buildings, fanfiction creators understand what it means to battle for mere existence.
The best hope for the future of fanfiction is Archive
of Our Own (AO3, as it is generally referred to as), a web-based
collection hosted by The Organization for Transformative Works (OTW), a
nonprofit group founded by fans after LiveJournal distanced itself from the neighborhood in 2007.
AO3 contains tales from a broad range of fandoms, with 184,907 works set in the Harry Potter universe and 273,354 about Marvel characters alone.
Fanfic authors craft unique tales utilizing current characters from nearly any franchise possible; common ones include Harry Potter,
The Avengers, Sherlock Holmes and Assault on Titan. ”
