Then one day, our people stepped foot upon a dark world where a terrible enemy slept.Never before had we encountered beings with powers that rivaled our own.The enemy fed upon defenseless human worlds like a great scourge, until finally only Atlantis remained.Though Melia was sympathetic to Weir, High Counselor Moros refused, and ordered Janus time machine to be destroyed.
Melia also offered to block the Earth Stargate to prevent it from ever connecting with Pegasus, but Weir refused. SGA: Before I Sleep ). However, the Stargate character Melia was likely named after her actress, Melia McClure. This has caused some fans to confuse her with Morgan Le Fay, a different Lantean who both created the Atlantis teaching program and masqueraded as the programs holographic interface of herself in the Stargate SG-1 episode The Pegasus Project.

The site was created in 2008 by the Organization for Transformative Works and went into open beta in 2009. As of May 2020, Archive of Our Own hosted 6 million works 2 in over 36,700 fandoms. The site has received positive reception for its curation, organization and design, mostly done by readers and writers of fanfiction. Fanfiction was authored primarily by women, and FanLib, which was run entirely by men, drew criticism. Ao3 Stargate Archive Fan CulturesThis ultimately led to the creation of the nonprofit Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) which sought to record and archive fan cultures and works. OTW created Archive of Our Own (abbreviated AO3) in October 2008 and established it as an open beta on November 14, 2009. The sites name was derived from a blog post by the writer Naomi Novik who, responding to FanLibs lack of interest in fostering a fannish community, called for the creation of An Archive of Ones Own. The name is inspired by the essay A Room of Ones Own by Virginia Woolf, in which Woolf said that a writer needed space, time, and resources in order to create. AO3 defines itself primarily as an archive and not an online community. Fic authors from the site held an auction via Tumblr that year to raise money for Archive of Our Own, bringing in 16,729 with commissions for original works from bidders. In 2018, the sites expenses were budgeted at 260,000. The developers of the site allow users to submit requests for features on the site via a Trello board. AO3 has approximately 700 volunteers, 9 who help the organization by working on volunteer committees. Each of these committees, which include Ao3 Documentation, Communications, Policy Abuse, and Tag Wrangling, manages a part of the site. The archive also asks writers to supply content warnings that might apply to their works (e.g., Major Character Death, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Underage, and RapeNon-Con). This allowance was developed as a reaction to the policies of other popular fanfiction hosts such as LiveJournal, which at one time began deleting the accounts of fic writers who wrote what the site considered to be pornography, and FanFiction.Net, which disallows numerous types of stories including any that repurpose characters originally created by authors who disapprove of fanfiction. Instead, users may identify themselves by one or more pseudonyms linked to their central account. At that time, the site hosted works representing 14,353 fandoms, the largest of which were the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Supernatural, Sherlock, and Harry Potter. ![]() Of the top 100 character pairings written about in fic on the site in 2014, 71 were malemale slash fiction and the majority of character pairings featured white characters. In 2016, about 14 of fic hosted on the site took place in an alternative universe in which characters from a particular canon are transplanted into a different context. This openness has led to the hosting of controversial content including works depicting rape, incest, and pedophilia. According to AO3 Policy and Abuse Chair Matty Bowers, a small fraction (1,150) stories submitted to the Archive were flagged by users as offensive. Organization for Transformative Works Legal Committee volunteer Stacey Lantagne has stated that: The OTWs mission is to advocate on behalf of transformative works, not just the ones we like. Stories of 1,000 words often received fewer than 150 hits on average while stories that were closer in length to a novel were viewed closer to 1,500 times apiece. As of June 2015, the most popular story on the site was reportedly I Am Groot, a masterpiece of hardcore Guardians of the Galaxy erotica 18 that consists of the words I am Groot and no others. Bruckman, Archive of Our Own is a rare example of a value-sensitive design that was developed and coded by its target audience, namely writers and readers of fanfiction. They wrote that the site serves as a realization feminist HCI (an area of humancomputer interaction ) in practice, despite the fact that the developers of Archive of Our Own had not been conscious of feminist HCI principles when designing the site.
