BTW, there are still some fics that are not part of the Collection on AO3. Is it on purpose?

I know La Jolie is offline for a while. Don't know about anyone else.

How do I get my fic to be part of this? Do I need to tag who I wrote it for when I upload it?

Actually I'm not on AO3, can I upload anyway?

**Posted by Schmiezi** January 5, 2015 1:39 pm

no. But you can give me your mail adress (once more), so I can invite you to AO3.

At the end of your own work, where you can find the kudos, there is a button called "Add to collection". Follow the link, the rest will be explained.

Whoops, you're all so quick. I was only on holiday, not actively boycotting your collection, Schmiezi!

Since some people said they'd much prefer reading a long story on AO3 rather than in white-on-black: I've started putting "Variations on a Classic Theme" up on AO3 now, and it should be complete by the weekend.

Which reminds me to say another big THANK YOU to our tech wizard Harriet who worked out the automatic HTML/BBCode conversion for us. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I'd rather have dropped out of the challenge altogether than have to do the conversion for my fic by hand. It would have taken DAYS that were now so much better employed reading all you other people's wonderful stuff!

You're welcome! I'm glad it worked with not too much complications

You won't believe it. I finally posted it. And added it to the compilation. Need a while to appear there?

Needs to be "approved" by Schmiezi, just so no other fics but the Secret Santa ones get put in the collection.

Oh, and while I'm here - Boss, are you reading this? Because I'd be so happy if you put the fic you wrote for me on to AO3 as well. I'd love to leave kudos, and a review, bookmark it, and then invite you to add it to the BBC Sherlock for Canon Addicts collection, all of which requires that you put it on there in the first place!

Done. It just takes some time before it shows up.
