Thanks to everyone who's taken part in our anniversary celebrations! We'll be contacting winners over the next 72 hours.

If you have not heard from us by September 10 and you linked us to all three of your reposts and two challenge entries, please contact us and give us the URLs to those 5 posts along with the email you want the invite sent to.

We regret to announce that Jenny Scott-Thompson will be resigning from the OTW Board effective at the end of December, which coincides with our organization's term break. We are deeply saddened to lose her as a board member, but Jenny will be continuing on in her other roles within the OTW as a staffer on the Finance Committee and as part of the Strategic Planning workgroup. She will also finish her term as Elections Officer, which ends at the end of December as well.

This is just a quick message to say that, due to a typo in our DNS, the Archive of Our Own is currently offline for some users. The error has already been fixed but it may take as long as 7 hours to propagate through the system. However we were not hacked or anything and we hope to be up as soon as possible. (Systems is telling us that this was a test of our communication and response teams...oh, wily wily Systems! Also typing is hard!)

We had a lot of questions submitted to the candidates by voters last year, and we're expecting even more this year. We all want to know what they think of the particular area of the organization we care about.
