SquidgeWorld Archive Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Hope you guys are doing well during this blackout

  Visiting Squidgeworld and seeing what they have. Source: 11 months ago

• Update Megathread for Tuesday July 11th

  There's also Squidgeworld, which runs on the same base software that AO3 does (it should look fairly familiar). There's nowhere near the number of fics that other archives have, but that just means your stuff will be more easily seen by whoever stops by to check things out. Source: 11 months ago

• Demands made by Anonymous Sudan

  AO3 is open-source. I know it's down but plenty of people have apparently grabbed the source-code. There is SquidgeWorld which used AO3's source-code so at the very least ao3 users could congregate there if AO3 gets taken down. Source: 11 months ago

• Fanfic website genres

  SquidgeWorld is based on the AO3 codes but a separate site. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best Website To Post Fanfictions on?

  SquidgeWorld is set up like AO3 now, though it doesn't get the traffic it did way back when. Source: about 1 year ago

• Wish There Were More Fanfic Sites

  There's also Squidgeworld, which has AO3's layout but a slightly different set of rules (for example: they have gift card contests), a different default color scheme, and it's not run by the OTW. It's smaller than AO3 in terms of number of fics, and IDK how much overlap there is between the fics on AO3 and the fics on Squidgeworld. Source: over 1 year ago

• When I see people from fanfiction.net and Wattpad complaining about AO3. Tumblr came up with the best defense

  Not to mention, the source code for AO3 was 1) written by volunteers and 2) publicly available. So there’s nothing to stop someone from copying the code and setting up their own site where they can set the rules, like this one. Source: over 1 year ago
