How to submit prompts on an AO3 prompt challenge
First, head to the link for the AO3 collection [add link here- can send them straight to sign up if we want]. Next, under ‘Dashboard’, press ‘Sign Up’ under the name of the collection to the right.
It will give you the following form:
Fandom: This works through AO3′s auto-fill function, you type in the fandom that this prompt adheres to - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling - and select the correct one in the drop-down menu.
Character: For this fest, you can leave this space blank.
Relationship: For this fest, you can leave this space blank.
Description: This is where you put in your prompt (a name, pairing, number, a one sentence summary) for your fic
Semi-anonymous prompt?: You need to tick this box.
AO3 says: 'Semi-anonymous' means that your prompt will be displayed as 'anonymous'; however, since it will still be linked in the database with your username, we can't guarantee 100% anonymity - in some circumstances, such as a coding bug, it might be accidentally revealed or guessable. (We've put a lot of work into minimising the risk, but we want to be sure that our users are completely informed about their levels of privacy.)
And lastly, on the bottom right; Add another request: Do you want to do another prompt? Press this button and the page will expand to let you add another. (You can do this at any time by clicking ‘My Prompts’ on the collection page then selecting ‘Edit Sign-Up’)
When you are done, press Submit and your prompt will go live. You then claim it as normal on the collection page. You MUST claim your own prompt.
After your prompt is up, you can go back in and edit it if you want to change it, or edit your entire sign-up (aka all your prompts.)
If you want to add another prompt after you have already submitted one, simply go to ‘My Prompts’ on the collection page then select ‘Edit Sign-Up ’and press “Add another request?” at the bottom. It’ll let you submit more prompts (up to five). Remember you must claim all your own prompts.
