Indeed, the hardest part with any archive is getting the fic in there. Making it a community effort makes it a lot easier. I took the alt.drwho.creative over from someone else, and was putting in up to 8 hours work a night on the thing and still couldn't keep up. I tried recruiting helpers to pre-sort the stuff so all I had to do was code it, but there was a limit to how much help they could be. Every fic had to be manually added to every page it was on. However, autogenerated tag-based sorts, with account-holding readers able to add new tags as well as the authors adding tags when they upload makes it all a lot easier.
