It's official, and it'll be announced today. So I'm sharing the email AO3 gave me to send to By Your Command authors, because I only have email addresses for a few of you, and I'm reaching out by all means possible:

Here's the email that AO3 had me send the By Your Command authors:

"Through a mix of software failure on my PC and a funding issue, the By Your Command 2 archive, which has always been closed, can't be maintained on its old platform at Slashcity.

I've contacted the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) for help to move the archive's content to a collection on the multi-fandom archive they maintain, the Archive of Our Own (AO3). Specifically, I will be working with the Open Doors committee. (You can read about their recent import projects at this link.)

Here is where I would like to ask for your help!

1. If you already have an AO3 account and have posted your By Your Command works there, please let me know your By Your Command pseud(s) and e-mail address(es) as well as your AO3 account name, so that we won’t import your stories. (There is a tutorial on the Open Doors website with instructions for mass-adding stories to the new collection on the AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/ByYourCommand/profile.)
