This party had it all: a glittery cake to fuel our server anthropomorphic challenge, a scavenger hunt, reccing and self-reccing fests, teamwork to help each other upload back catalogs, and a special tag just for party fic. Here’s to another year of cheering each other on as we read, create, and transform.
Midnight to midnight is a long time to party but our wonderful guests have kept the energy high! Here are some details on our marvelous accomplishments:
- 1411 new works, 224 new users, 103 new fandoms!!!
- Archive Of Our Own Anthropomorfic!
- AO3 RPF!
- AO3 Party RPF featuring eye shadow and a sly reference to the OTW Brandbook!
- Collaborative AO3 Chat Party Poetry!
- Party icons!
- Our Favorite Things in the Archive. You can still add yours in the comments!
- 105K Works! A party-wide post-a-thon helped us reach our goal of 105,000 works posted to the Archive – and then we surpassed it! It was probably all that anthropomorfic…
