tardis_festivitiesThe easiest way to post your assignment or to default is to go to either go to the AO3 collection, then My Assignment, or go to your account and My Assignments and find it on the page. Both offer two buttons Fulfill and Default.
Posting
If you click Fulfill it will take you to a new work page and it will fill in the collection for you. It will look like it's not filled in your recipient under the 'Gift this work to' option, but it is there and you do not have to fill it in.
Once you click post there will be a couple of blue boxes at the top with information. The collection is moderated, so one of the boxes tells you that your work will not show up until it's been approved. If you want to edit it before it's approved, you'll need to go to your Statistics page (it isn't in the dropdown at the top of your page, you need to be on one of your account pages to see the link to it). It will be on that page.
If you are unsure if you've done everything right, then don't post your work, save it as a draft. If the blue box at the top of the page says you've submitted it to the right collection, and your recipient is filled in, then it's all okay. However, although it's technically correct that you have submitted your work, only you can see drafts. You will need to post your work for me to approve it.
I will be approving works more often closer to the deadline. If your work is posted (not in draft form) and in the queue waiting to be approved by the deadline, then that means it's in on time.
Defaulting
If you instead you click on the Default button this will list you as defaulted. It's as easy as that. You do not need to give a reason.
Extensions
If you think you won't be able to get your work in by the deadline, then you can ask for an extension, either by commenting at the contact post or using the email address listed there. Your request must include when you'll be able to post your work. Since there's not much time between the deadline and works being revealed, extensions will only be given for 48 hours after the deadline.
Treating
If you are posting treats, then the easiest way to do that is to go to the AO3 collection and click Post to Collection. This will fill in the collection details for you.
If you want a better way to see everyone's request when deciding what treats to write/draw then the Auto AO3 App will show you all requests by Fandom, as default. You can also choose to view by character or Freeform (Fic or Art). Or use the search tab to narrow things down even more. You can bookmark individual requests, although you can only see what you've bookmarked if you're in the same browser on the same computer and haven't cleared your cookies.
