vonknibble: Why I joined OTW (Volunteers & Recruiting Committee) - The sheer potential of the Organisation revealed itself to me in fits and starts, and there are times when I'm still the proverbial Christmas Morning child, tearing wrapping off left and right and grinning like a crazy fool at the contents. -
- sagaluthien: Take the advice you are given¦ and you might got more fans. - I have a few times tried to point out things that I learned is common when you write fan fiction or stories. Though more than once it has been taken as I don't like the way they write and given me the feeling I'm bad and they so much better. -
- sailorvfan10: There's this organisation that wants - ...And it's not like people sue fanfiction writers, anyway. Do you know how much money they'd be wasting? And the fact that it'd be a losing battle anyway, since we can plead "fair use", which is allowed. -

- the_shoshanna: Why I joined the OTW - Well, first, there's the chance to help out with a project I really think is valuable and important -- and possible. That's a chance I'm glad and grateful to have.//And there's the opportunity to learn some new skills, as well. -
- watersword: [on insanejournal] Why I Joined the OTW: - OTW's message of pride -- pride in fannishness, pride in the female space that fandom is, pride in the skill it takes us to be fans [...] -- is one that resonates deeply with me -
- khellekson: Why I joined OTW - Most people are excited about the Archive Of Our Own, but here's what I'm excited about: an academic journal that welcomes, instead of rejects or overtly mocks, fan studies as a topic. -
- fairestcat: Why I Joined the OTW - It is long past time for us as fans to become proactive in protecting and preserving our culture and defending our community. That is why I was excited back when there was just the dream of An Archive and that's why I'm excited now -
