In April 2004, FictionAlley was nominated for a WEBBY Award and in the fall of 2004, FictionAlley was granted 501(c)(3) status by the US IRS as an educational entity. In 2004, FA introduced The Knight Bus, a section for the posting of "real life" events for fandomers, and began a revamp of the fic hosting system. In 2003, FictionAlley launched a new chat room for its users, expanded the educational mission of the site, and supported Nimbus - 2003: A Harry Potter Symposium, that was held July 17–20, 2003 in Orlando, Florida. The Park hosts over one million discussion posts and over a million reviews from nearly 60,000 registered users on topics ranging from analysis of individual characters and scenes from the Harry Potter books and films to the development of original writing.
#HARRY GOES BACK IN TIME FANFICTION MODS#
All of the founding mods desired a community in which no person would be unreasonably censored or senselessly banned - a place where people could state their ideas and engage in spirited and thought-provoking debates, discussions, and analysis.įictionAlley also created a beta reader exchange and writing discussion boards, which rapidly grew into FictionAlley Park.
#HARRY GOES BACK IN TIME FANFICTION ARCHIVE#
FictionAlley was created to archive all Harry Potter fanfic, regardless of the SHIP, as long as the story met a reasonable standard for grammar and spelling, and did not merit an "adults only" rating. Some Homepages Through the YearsįictionAlley was founded in the summer of 2001 by a dozen Harry Potter fans - mostly fanfic writers and artists. In July 2018, it was announced that FictionAlley would be moving to the Archive of Our Own as an Open Doors Project. This site was originally called "FictionAlleyWriters" Artists was added roughly a year later. It is public and can be seen and searched here. It has a Yahoo Group: FictionAlleyWriters and Artists, which was launched July 6, 2001. These requirements allowed the site to claim educational motivations for the forums which aided the site in gaining non-profit status. The Park is notable among fandom forums for content requirements: members are only allowed to make "one liner" posts in a few specified places, correct capitalization is expected and spelling and grammar must be readable. It also has an extensive set of forums for discussion of the characters, locations and individual books and movies as they came out, called Fiction Alley Park. Each house is associated with a color of one of the houses from the book series: Schnoogle has a green theme, TheDarkArts is blue, the AstronomyTower is red, and Riddikulus is yellow. The archive is divided into four different so-called houses: Schnoogle for novel-length stories of all genres, TheDarkArts for stories with darker themes like angst, AstronomyTower for romance fanfic and Riddikulus for humourous stories. The archive originated out of Schnoogle, a site that was created by Heidi Tandy and Cassandra Claire. See Timeline for some other more specific dates. While it was officially launched July 22, 2001, its Yahoo Group FictionAlleyWriters and Artists began on July 6, 2001.
