Festibility is also now on the AO3!

[access_fandom_mods]

There is now a Festibility collection at the Archive of Our Own. Collections are a great way to host a sort of mini-archive, and all participants are welcome and encouraged to post there as well as here.

If you do not yet have an AO3 account and you would like one, leave a comment here or private message lightgetsin with your email address, and we’ll send you an invite code.

How to add fanworks to the collection: There are two ways:

1. Go to the collection page and click on “post to collection.” The form will appear with the collection field already filled out for you.

2. Alternatively, click “post new” from anywhere in the archive and fill out the form as you usually would. Just be sure to put “Festibility2010” in the ‘post to collections/challenges’ field in the associations section.

The AO3 designers and coders have been notably committed to accessibility on the archive and responsive to accessibility requests. Your Festibility mods appreciate their efforts, and want to encourage any challenge participants with access needs or knowledge to use the AO3 and suggest any fixes or improvements through the support feature.

The archive currently does not support multimedia fanworks or anonymous posting, though it will eventually. Sorry! We will bookmark these fanworks from within the collection if posters would like.

Oh, thanks for this! I've got a fic almost ready to go off to the beta, so I'll make sure to upload it there too once I'm done.

[gorgeousnerd]

Awesome! I added my story to the collection.

Thanks! *adds story*

You might want to add that pre-existing works have an "add to collection" button at the bottom of the page. The name of the collection is Festibility2010.

Last I heard, AO3 wasn't permitting original fiction to be posted. Is that still true?

[franzeska]

Yes, it's still true. The Content Policy Committee is still in the process of reviewing the feedback we've gotten. (And can I just say, regardless of whether our policies change, I've really appreciated all you've had to say on this topic.)

If/when there are updates to the TOS, they will be announced on the various OTW blogs for public comment. (TOS changes go through a 2-week public comment period and are then voted on by the board.)

And may I just say what a super-cool archive you have. :) I was wandering around it last night, and it was *so* easy to find stories on topics that interested me, because of the way you'd set up the archive.
