Archivolto (2026)

Challenges

• 1
  Avoiding duplicates: Several users might save the same fanfiction, so each work should only be stored once.
• 2
  Data cleaning: Fanfiction comes from different websites, each with its own data formats and structure.
• 3
  Scraping: Scraping puts extra load on external servers, so requests must be handled responsibly to avoid disrupting their services.

Solutions

• 1
  Responsible data collection: Works that have already been saved are not scraped again, but users can update existing data when necessary.
• 2
  Normalization: Fanfiction data is normalized into a consistent format across sources, making it easier to recognize saved works and avoid unnecessary scraping.
