  One month. Twenty-eight prompts. Twenty-eight pairings. One ficlet a day. Write Fast.

I'm trying to post my challenge works to the collection on AO3, but after I've posted my work to my AO3 account, the collection doesn't come up in the collections field when I try to "post to collections/challenges". Any suggestions on how to get my works in the collection?

If you've already posted the fic, try pasting "February_Ficlet_Challenge_2026" into that box. If you haven't posted the fic yet, try going to the collection and using the "Post to Collection" box at the top of the page. Let me know if either of those doesn't work!

FFC 2026: Alphabet Challenge Concludes

And that's a wrap, folks! The February Ficlet Challenge for 2026 is over - but the collection remains open! Feel free to continue to update existing fics or add more works for the rest of the year, and we hope you'll join us again in 2027 for another Challenge!

Until then - may the words come easily and the plotbunnies be easy to wrangle, and thank you all for making the February Ficlet Challenge a joy.
