To preserve the history of transformative fanworks and the fandoms from which they have arisen, OTW is developing its own fandom wiki, Fanlore, in beta as of September, 2008.

The OTW fandom wiki will provide a framework within which fans can document their understandings of and experiences in fandom. This encyclopedic resource will help provide context for outside media and for people new to fandom, in a format wherein fans are in control of their own representation. It will also provide an archive of fandom history for fans themselves.

The broad scope of the wiki is fandoms and transformative fanworks of all kinds, not just the media fandom community and its history. We are looking to host contributions from a diverse range of fans, as they share experiences about the history of their own fannish communities, including but not limited to anime, comics, manga/manhwa, and various RPF fan communities.

The OTW is committed to protecting the privacy of fans, whether they are users of our services or not. We do not allow anyone to connect fan identities and real life identities on our services against the wishes of the individual in question. Our content policy committee and focus groups are working on policies and procedures to both prevent this and minimize the damage should someone break the rules.
