fanfiction.lol: a small, independent archive of fanworks and original works
479 fandoms | 1,118 users | 974 works
meant to be fun! spread joy, be excellent to each other,
and express yourself creatively!
fanfiction.lol is made by fans, for fans! we're a small, independent archive running on home hardware, by people who love writing and the Internet. We wanted a website that focuses on the joy and positivity of fandom and transformative works like fanfiction, so we built one!
if you're new to fandom, or writing in general, fanfiction.lol is a great place to start! we're a low-stakes, low-stress website. we believe any and all fandoms, ships, and writing quality are valid, and all deserve a place to call home. we're here to centre marginalized voices and identities that can go underrepresented in fandom, and we will meet you where you are.
this project is a labour of love, and we operate with good faith. if you mess up, that's okay! because we will too—we're new to running a fandom site ourselves! we will always assume the best in people, and try our best in return. you can email the head of the site, Brennan at [email protected] with any comments or concerns, or send anonymous asks to our Tumblr for updates and questions.
note: although this website is a fork of Archive of Our Own, we operate differently in several important ways. Our tagging system is different, and we have expanded archive warnings to help readers better filter work and additional relationship types to help writers feel more represented and validated.
please read our ToS, content policy, and privacy policy for more details.

Hello, again! I did not expect to make another admin post so soon. It seems as though SquidgeWorld Archive is also currently down. Meaning that fanfiction.lol is the only open-registration general multifandom AO3-fork currently online.

Hi there, as you know from the homepage, my name is Brennan :) I decided since we've doubled in size in the past day due to the AO3 outage, I thought it would be good to write a post to get new folks up to speed.

We just hit 500 works on the archive! Thank you to everyone who's posted, imported, read, kudosed, and commented :)
