📒Do you know why AO3 is called that way? It references Virginia Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own”, an essay focusing on feminist issues and the need for women to have their own space. This resonates with fanfic writers & readers who longed for their own archive away from censorship or exterior control.⬇️

🍿Yesterday, “Wicked: For Good” came out out in theaters! Do you know where this wonderful story comes from?
🧹The #Wicked movies are based on the 2003 #musical, itself inspired by Gregory Maguire’s book. The book could technically be considered fan-fiction of "The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.
