The four head mods had left roughly a month ago. Right now, the entire staff is busy with re-organizing the site, bringing the FAQs back up, fixing bugs, and re-organizing the remaining staff.
I read that on the main page.
The only one who can involve the site in this organization would be the owner, and she's got her hands full right now.
I don't think they are likely to ASK AdultFanFiction.Net and considering the site's experience, I'm boggled so to why not. And I don't they'd want to involve the site in anything. They seem to want to reinvent the wheel. :/ I run Fan History Wiki and part of their proposal involved creating a new Fan History Wiki. Mine's got over 6,400 pages. (This includes a page about AdultFanFiction.Net which if any of the mods ever want to update to make more accurate, I'd love the help with.) There were people who commented about other archives which have dealt with issues that were ignored. Repeatedly. I can't think of a single archivist they approached themselves asking for assistance. If they really wanted to make their archive the new face of fan fiction for the media, why not utilize people who run highly successful archives already. You know what I mean?
I think the main long-running issue is that AFF is trying to duck under the government's radar. OTW may be able to protect fanfiction, but would they be able to protect adult content?
I don't think they've even developed a policy regarding what they are going to host. And it's going month five. They're talking about building a legal war chest to protect against all legal challengers. Having run my own archive and seen what people in fandom do, that attitude, and being so open and forward with all the "We're going to protect your stuff! We've got lawyers! We're going to protect fan rights!" just seems... I don't know... vaguely threatening to other archives. Things tend to have a ripple effect, both in fandom and the real world. MySpace had to deal with the pedophile stuff. Then LiveJournal got hit. Now FaceBook is getting hit. And fans when they're grumpy and pissed off can go to TPTB and others to try to get archives in trouble. This happened in the CSI fandom, where some Gil Grissom/Catherine Willows were update at a Gil Grissom/Sara Sidle message board that had Gil Grissom/Sara Sidle friendly spoilers being posted by people nominally connected to the show. Those shippers contacted TPTB who ended up forcing changes on the site.
And I can't think of a single archive that's really set itself up to have an adversarial relationship with outside forces like that by talking about challenging all law suits. :/
Getting back to your question, I think, if they hosted adult content, they would use their legal war chest to try to protect it.
Anyway, thanks for the response.
