#cfaarchive

At least, other ones running on the otw-archive software!

SquidgeWorld Archive

Open to all fandoms, SqWA is run under the nonprofit squidge.org! In addition to the archive there, Squidge also offers image hosting, podfic hosting and a bunch of other excellent services. Beyond that, it utilizes more extensive archive warnings than AO3 and also accommodates two additional relationship categories! SqWA has a no-AI policy that is both up front legally and implemented behind the scenes through various coding measures.

The TOS is here. The information about the additional warnings can be found here.

Ad Astra :: Star Trek Fanfiction Archive

A single-fandom Star Trek fanfiction archive, this one's home for any and all Trek fandom! Using the same warnings as AO3, but a much stricter (and therefore searchable) tagging scheme, Ad Astra's also connected to one of the friendliest and most supportive Trek communities on the internet! We run weekly challenges, monthly review/comment hunts and like the other archives, we take a very hardline stance against AI both in actual terms and in firewalling the site. AI 'bots can't even reach the server before getting sucked into a black hole of 4XX errors and bannination jail!

There's an additional QPR (Queer-platonic relationships) tag accepted in the form of Character A ~ Character B, as well. Two invitations go out once a day, unless you want to contact me directly, then I can send one immediately.

Find the site FAQs here, please pay special attention to the posting rules!!

superlove

Run off of a macbook by a very talented young person, superlove is for all fandoms and original fiction and pretty much whatever else melo wants to open the doors for! In addition to the same archive warnings and relationships available to people using AO3, superlove also has a few more warnings that users can use and both QPR and vs. tags for queer-platonic and adversarial relationships. Given this is largely a private project, please make sure you review the rules carefully.

Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive

The CFAArchive is an archive built specifically for comic book and comic animation adjacent fandoms, rather than live-action properties! It uses the same archive warnings as AO3 and Ad Astra, but has the two additional tags QPR and vs. for queer-platonic and adversarial relationships! Much like Ad Astra, the tagging scheme on the CFAA is very strict to maximize searchability and minimize tag-spamming. There's also an attached Discord, where we run a bi-weekly writing challenge, the occasional comment/review hunt and a monthly focus feature where everyone reads a book, discusses it and creates based on it! If you love comic books and comic animation properties, this is the place for you!

Much like Ad Astra, the filtering out of AI 'bots is extremely strict; they get 4XX'd into oblivion and so far, none have gotten through since the new firewall rules were implemented, so you actually can leave works unlocked if you like with minimal (though never nonexistent) concern about them being scraped.

Two invitations go out once a day, unless you want to contact me directly, then I can send one immediately.

Through the month of October, the CFAA is celebrating the book run Blue Beetle (2005-2009)!

Come join us as we put the spotlight on the entirely adorable (and badass) Jaime Reyes and his really kick-ass supporting cast. Bring fanworks to share! Come discuss the issues. Watch his appearances in Young Justice (or any other media!), or maybe join an online watch party of the movie!

The invitation queue is now open! We also have a Discord, linked under 'Community' on the archive's top bar. Fastest way to get your account created or your invite code faster is to contact me either here or on Discord; once I know you're a person and not a 'bot or other bad actor (we've had a few on other archives), you're probably good!

The big thing is (as ever on one of my archives): Read the tagging rules, please! They're incomplete, but the bones are solid.

Also definitely looking for readers and people who love reading and commenting, be it paragraphs or just 'Extra Kudos!'

We've moved the CFAA to a new server! And guest kudos are working again. Invites are still disabled because spammers and scammers, but invites are always available to real, live, non-scammy people.

Boldly Writing is going to hopefully be the nonprofit for indie archives; the ultimate plan is to give us an umbrella org that lets donations to our archives, etc. be tax-deductible, allows us to access a lot of services for free or reduced cost through the org and otherwise lets us move forward with championing the causes of more independent and decentralized fan communities while still providing the social networking and cohesion of a single community over all.

My ultimate vision is to expand and clean up our documentation for installing/running otw-archive, offering tech support for new instances of the software (and ourchive when it releases!), eventually culminating in server space we can offer similar to Walter at Squidge.org. Walter's been carrying a lot of the non-OTW side of the fandom on his shoulders for a long time as we've lost more and more independent commuities; another org working in tandem with Squidge (and indeed OTW!) would only be good for fandom.

Boldly Writing is a non-membership model nonprofit, but you're more than welcome to be a part of the organization via volunteering. Right now, we're possibly looking for a fifth board member -- or more! We can have several! -- for fiscal year 2025. A board member's main responsibilities are just to show up for the four annual meetings required by us, propose and/or vote on resolutions and bylaws and whatnot, and otherwise support the org. Terms are three years. If you're interested in this, you have to be a US citizen and over 18, but that's basically it.

Other things, like committees and assignments, are next on our agenda. (Those can be a lot of fun, too!) Currently, our Boldly Writing discussion takes place on Ad Astra's server, though we might eventually make a new one for the org.

Hi there! Stardust and all of my DC fic is still available on the CFAA! I currently have signups disabled because of spammers and scammers, but I'm happy to send an invite to anyone over 16 to sign up. We're also running Anubis to hopefully stop AI scrapers, too.

Whilst duking it out with depression, I decided to build a new iconset for the CFAArchive, update the Underage warning to Underage Sexual Content and to add three new relationship tags. So, now the CFAA has the following relationship tags available: F/F, F/M, Gen, M/M, Multi, NB/F, NB/M, NB/NB, Other, QPR and vs.

I made the iconset myself; anyone is welcome to use them on an otw-archive install or a userskin, though they are pretty CFAA themed, just drop me credit somewhere in some obscure corner if you do use them for public consumption!
