The AO3 Collection and Ebooks!  
Two Important announcements/questions:

The AO3 Collection



They've fixed the bug preventing everyone from using the 2012 Collection in the AO3 archive. If you'd like to go back in and edit your fic to add it to the collection (or if you haven't posted it on AO3 yet but would like to add it to the collection when you do, please use the following collection name):

Be_Compromised_Secret_Santa_Exchange_2012

(I recommend copy and pasting that phrase exactly, including the underscores.) It will show up on the auto-complete eventually, but someone at the archive is going to have to go in and adjust it, so it may be a few days. But I've tested it, and as long as you copy and paste that phrase exactly into the space for "Post to Collections/Challenges" it should work fine.

If you've previously added your fic to the parent collection (which should not be used for this year's submissions) "Be Compromised's Secret Santa Exchange" please go in and change the collection it's a part of. I think I got a message to everyone over on AO3 already in it but just in case.

Ebooks!



Our very own [livejournal.com profile] frea_o has offered to collect all of this year's Secret Santa submissions into an ebook for us (for the personal use of everyone on the comm, not for sale of course) - but we need to get everyone's permission to use their fic before we add it to the book. I've screened the comments for this post, but I need for everyone who wrote a fic (or fics) to please leave a comment letting us know if it's alright for her to use your work (with full credit/author's names etc).

Yay, AO3 collection fixed! You're a star :D I added mine and it worked fine. For people it's not working for *cough*mods can see screened comments*cough and grin* I'd say make sure when you copy and paste you're not using a space at the end after 2012, because that happened to me at first.

I've also heard [livejournal.com profile] frea_o's ebook idea before and I think it's a shiny idea. I'd prefer that they use the version of my fic that I posted to my LJ or to AO3 though, if possible, rather than the original exchange post, because there were a few niggling mistakes that I'd missed there that bug me ;)

scratch that, now everything is screwed ... it said "no suggestions found", then I switched the tabs and suddenly it said I HAD added my story to the archive. Now it SAYS that it's added to the collection, but when I click on the collection, my story isn't there ...

*throws hands up*

I GIVE UP!

I can see your fic - a hung over kind of life - in the collection. So, I guess you either fixed it or it does work? But yeah, I see it :)

Heh, me too. The A03 version is the one that should be used, because I made a few tiny tweaks that were bugging me.

Oh, these awkward writerly types ;)

Updated in the archive. :)

Love the idea of an ebook! How cool is that? This bar rocks.

Thanks to all the authors and artists who contributed.
