The motive is to make it easier for people to find stories. But honestly the idea makes me very, very nervous, because our current distributed system of stories presents no single, large target to either copyright holders or would-be censors, nor can a majority (or vocal minority) of fans shut out viewpoints or stories they object to, nor can server (or financial) trouble by one archive take out decades worth of stories.
Personally I find almost all the stories I read by searching Delicious.com bookmarks. I'd like to see a more organized database of fan fiction links but I'm not real enthused about a central archive of all fan fiction.
