Excerpts
How does what you do as a volunteer fit into what the OTW does?
Being in the Elections team in general means that you’re responsible for the OTW’s Board elections running — and running smoothly. Voting Process Architects, or VPAs, help with the technical side: we investigate (and solve!) issues and make sure that processes are documented.
What made you decide to volunteer?
I decided to volunteer because I appreciate the work the OTW does as a whole. Fandom needs its own, not-for-profit spaces to thrive, and AO3 is a big part of that. In truth, the work of other teams is what inspired me to join mine: Accessibility, Design, & Technology for making things work, Legal for advocating for fan issues, wranglers for making the AO3 tag system possible. There are a lot of teams and a lot of people behind the scenes who all form a small part of what we do, and I find that amazing.
What fannish things do you like to do?
One of the big things I like to do is cosplay: my favourite ones I’ve done include Bucky Barnes and Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Bucky cosplay had a metallic-looking arm that was my first experience in foam armour, and the Tony cosplay had a ‘working’ arc reactor. I like the process of building cosplay: you learn something every time you build something new.
I’ve also built a few models of characters from books and graphic novels I’ve liked. The one I’m most proud of is still the first one I made — a figure of the character Chris Shane from Lock In.
I also write a fair amount of fic. Most of it is gen, and most of it is Marvel, though I often write in smaller fandoms for fic exchanges. Fic is important to me because I get to write stories about the characters I love and imagine them in new scenarios. And sometimes other people like what I write too, which is always a good feeling.
