Hello Phryne Ficathoners. As hard as it is to believe, the time has come for posting! If you’ve never taken part in an AO3 collection before, this might not be as intuitive as you might hope, so the following is a quick instruction guide. @glamorouspixels and @Galadriel1010 are both on hand to help out on Tumblr and Slack if you need further help.

As a reminder, this is for posting your main assignment. If you’ve written additional gifts, we love you and can’t wait to see what you’ve written. The collection for these additional gifts will be open after authors are revealed on July 29th, so please keep them safe until then!

If you are struggling with your work and don’t think you’ll be able to produce it by the 22nd, don’t panic. Please get in touch with one of the mods and we will arrange a pinch hitter. This will ensure your prompter gets a gift during the posting period. If you complete your story after that, you are welcome (and encouraged!) to add it to the additional gifts collection after authors are revealed. This collection will remain open, so there's no time restrictions.

The easiest way to post your assignment work is to go through the assignment page. To find this you need to hover over your username and you’ll find ‘My Assignments’ under there. Alternatively, you can find it on the lefthand side of your ao3 dashboard.

Once you’ve found your list of assignments, you should find the open assignment looks something like this:

If you click on ‘Fulfill’, it will take you to the normal page for posting a work, and automatically fulfil the assignment for you.

If you go through the ‘Post New Work’ or ‘Post to Collection’ page, you can also fulfil your assignment. There will be a tickbox for open assignments, and you just need to select the Phryne Ficathon 5 Assignment in the box. Ticking this box will add the work to the collection and assign it as a gift to your recipient.

However you get there, the next step is the same! Prepare to post the work as usual, then preview it to make sure that it lists the collection and your recipient correctly. (Note: When you preview and post, you will find your work will display as Anonymous [Your Username]. This is totally normal, and nobody else will be able to see your name.)

When you’re satisfied everything is perfect, press post and you’re done!

Your fic will not appear on your Works page until authors are revealed. If you want to find it before July 29th, you can find it through your stats page from your dashboard or through the collection page.
