Naomi Novik is the author of the Temeraire fantasy series, as well as the standalones Uprooted and Spinning Silver. She was one of the founding members of the OTW Board, serving from 2007 - 2010 (and again in 2012). During her initial tenure on the board, she served as president; in the Organization for Transformative Works' 2007 introductory post, Novik was also announced as the chair of the Accessibility, Design & Technology Committee.[1]
She was re-elected to the OTW board in November 2011[2], but resigned at the end of the 2012 term[3]. Previously, she also worked on the hit computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide and helped start up Juno Online Services.
Novik has been active in online fandom since 1994, publishing stories and vids in more than forty-two fandoms and founding several fan-run institutions: a multiuser online role-playing game begun in 1995, a vidding convention begun in 2002, and an annual cross-fandom story exchange begun in 2003. She created the open-source Automated Archive software used by many fanfic archives.[4]
Although she prefers not to publicly, in a googlable way, link her fannish identity and real name, during the OTW 2011 Board Election, she agreed to it being okay within fandom during the election.[5]
