This is the tutorial for posting your bangs and complements to Ante Up: The Losers 2013 Big Bang (stolen from lady_krysis with immense thanks :D). This entry explains how you should post your fanwork to the Archive of Our Own (AO3) to ensure that your fanwork remains hidden, so the mods have a chance to make sure everything's on track before we go live with Ante Up: The Losers 2013 Big Bang.

This tutorial applies to both bang creators and complement creators but caters primarily to those who are first-time AO3 users or those who aren't familiar with the posting interface.

IMPORTANT: All bang creators and complement creators need to list kisahawklin as co-creator on their fanworks. kate is our background linker extraordinaire (thank you kate, omg). This step is crucial and will make everything so much easier for your mods. Rest assured that we won't make any changes to your fanwork, and we are not trying to take credit for your efforts. This step just allows us to make sure that everything has been posted and linked correctly, and that all fanworks are connected to their bangs and complements. kate will delete herself as co-creator before the bang goes live.

If you're familiar with posting to the Archive, take note of the bolded steps 11 and 15 below, and you should be good to go.

( Detailed instructions )

Remember: you can edit your fanwork at any time by simply clicking Edit. Make any formatting, tag, or text changes that you like, and click Post or Post Without Preview.

For those participants who need hosting, please e-mail your final, completed fanwork to the mods. The html that we gave you will not change. We will replace your draft with the completed fanwork.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns comment here or contact a mod. :)

Two weeks until bang works are due! Wheeee/ohshit! *hands out pompoms for cheerleading, paper bags for the panicked, and damp cloths for fevered brows* If you have any questions or need support you'd rather get in private, you're welcome to Contact A Mod. :)

How goes the panic/excitement levels? :D

Here is the bit where your mod raises her hand and confesses that she didn't check in last week.

I am therefore declaring Check In Amnesty! If you've not checked in for a while, and are feeling guilty, or embarrased or a little whelmed, I offer you a Losers-themed olive branch, which is probably firearm shaped, because that's how they roll. Check ins are guilt-free and explanations/apologies-not-required, all this week! (Not that, actually, we demand guilt or prostration from anyone ever, unless that's how you roll ;))

Check in! Especially if you've let things slip a little. Let us know how you're doing! :)
