The Tom Paris Dorm, a Tom Paris-centric fanfiction archive is being imported to the Archive of Our Own (AO3). In this post:

• A bit of background explanation
• What this means for creators who have work on The Tom Paris Dorm
• And what to do if you still have questions

The Tom Paris Dorm is an archive for fanfiction about the character Tom Paris, from Star Trek: Voyager. The TPD was created at the end of 1999 under the name of "The Wonderful World of Thomas Eugene Paris". Since then it has continued to grow steadily, and holds over 1300 works. The archivist, banshee, has now decided to close the archive and import its works to the AO3. Open Doors will be working with banshee to import The Tom Paris Dorm into a separate, searchable collection on the Archive of Our Own. Eventually the links going to the old archive site will re-direct to the new collection on AO3 so the works can continue to be found with their old URLs. We will begin importing works from The Tom Paris Dorm to the AO3 after December.

We will send an import notification to the email address we have for each creator. We'll do our best to check for an existing copy of any works before importing. If we find a copy already on the AO3, we will invite it to the collection instead of importing it. All works archived on behalf of a creator will include their name in the byline or the summary of the work. All imported works will be set to be viewable only by logged-in AO3 users. Once you claim your works, you can make them publicly-viewable if you choose. After 30 days, all unclaimed imported works will be made visible to all visitors. We will then permanently close down the site. Please contact Open Doors with your The Tom Paris Dorm, pseud(s) and email address(es), if:

1. You'd like us to import your works, but you need the notification sent to a different email address than you used on the original archive
2. You already have an AO3 account and have imported your works already yourself.
3. You’d like to import your works yourself (including if you don’t have an AO3 account yet).
4. You would NOT like your works moved to the AO3.
5. You are happy for us to preserve your works on the AO3, but would like us to remove your name.
6. You have any other questions we can help you with.

Please include the name of the archive in the subject heading of your email. If you no longer have access to the email account associated with your The Tom Paris Dorm account, please contact Open Doors and we'll help you out. (If you've posted the works elsewhere, or have an easy way to verify that they're yours, that's great; if not, we will work with The Tom Paris Dorm mod to confirm your claims.) Please see the Open Doors Website for instructions on

• importing your works to the AO3
• adding your works to the new collection The Tom Paris Dorm

If you have further questions, visit the Open Doors FAQ, contact the Open Doors committee. We'd also love it if fans could help us preserve the story of The Tom Paris Dorm, on Fanlore. If you're new to wiki editing, no worries! Check out the new visitor portal, or ask the Fanlore Gardeners for tips. We're excited to be able to help preserve The Tom Paris Dorm! - The Open Doors team and banshee

Tom/Chakotay 01

I am looking for a fic that is Tom/Chakotay pairing.  It has Chak pregnant with Tom's children and telling the story of how they got together in the end.  In the fic, Tom is origanally sentenced to prison on some planet but Chak takes the sentence for him.  Tom goes to visit him in prison everyday and they marry to be able to see each other more.  There is more but I don't remember much else except that it is a wonderful story.  I hope that someone can help me with this.

• FOUND: This story is The Gift of Love by Kim Riley aka MYSTIC

Tom/Chakotay 02

The only parts I can remember from it are an argument between chakotay and tom paris, in paris' rooms I believe. Chakotay leaves and tom follows him after a short time. When he gets to chakotays rooms, chaotays door is locked. Kathryn sees tom and lets him in to chakotays. Then while shes in her bathroom she hears tom and chakotay yelling followed by a bang, thinking he'd hit him, she overides the lock and catches them in the shower. Then chakotay and tom either they act like nothing happen or they continue figting alot(I can't remember). Kathryn decides to try and force them to get along by sending them to check on a malfunction in a jeffries tube and locking them in together. Tom turns out to be claustrophobic. Theres some bits with b'elanna and harry also trying to get them together and teaming up with the captain to rig a shuttle malfunction, which results in one of them getting hurt though which I don't know.

• FOUND: This story is The Wild Stallion by Cassatt.
