Let's hear it for Pinata Donkey!
If you don't get that reference, I'm guessing you weren't around for the Fanlib disaster...
It was a for-profit fanfiction archive that did everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - wrong. Here's an advert:
It *still* cracks me up... (There was fic written about those guys, oooh yes! If you're curious, I can find a link...) I don't think anyone ever discovered what was up with the pinata donkey though - it seemed totally random.
The site died more than a year ago. \o/ Whole sorry tale here.
Aaaaanyway, OTW (Organization for Transformative Works) sprung from this, and it is they who have set up the Archive of our Own...
Which is my roundabout way of saying, that I'd totally love an invite to Archive of our Own, if there are spares. :) I've got two promised to me now, so don't worry.

Oh, Fanlib. It always seems to be men putting their foots in it and trying to exploit fandom.
Indeed. Well they got their just desserts and no mistake. :)
Of course there was fic written about them! How could fandom resist? I'm sure that there was fic written about the pinata donkey as well. :D
I think I might have read some you know...
Can't help you with the invites though.
No worries, have got one promised so I'll get there sooner or later!
