Where fanfic was a primarily female hobbyist space, a group of men had stepped onto the scene promoting FanLib, a commercialized site that would be populated with fan content. Though it garnered 25,000 members, it was also the subject of intense criticism by many people involved in fandom at the time who felt stung by having a group of perceived outsiders attempt to profit off work they had always provided freely. <\/p>\n \u201cThe people behind FanLib don\u2019t actually care about fanfic, the fanfic community, or anything except making money off content created entirely by other people and getting media attention. They don\u2019t have a single fanfic reader or writer on their board; they don\u2019t even have a single woman on their board,\u201d Novik wrote. She was clear about the solution to prevent their potential exploitation by these outside forces: \u201cWe need a central archive of our own.\u201d<\/p>\n The Organization for Transformative Works, or OTW, a nonprofit with many arms all dedicated to preserving and advocating for fanworks, was founded a few months later. Archive of Our Own, now probably the best known and most popular fanfiction site on the web, was fully launched by 2009.<\/p>\n
