AO3 Collection, a LJ bug, and a reminder

1. Our 2015 AO3 subcollection is open! Previous years' subcollections will be available soon in the same overall B2MeM collection. (2014's is available here as a separate collection.) Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] lignota for creating the collection. ETA: Here's how to post to a collection.

2. We've had a report of a bug that affects posting to the [livejournal.com profile] b2mem community. When using the "Post to Community" link at the top of the community, it is possible to receive an error message of "Password Missing."

The workaround is going to the regular Post New Entry page and selecting b2mem from the dropdown menu. The entry should post fine and appear in the community.

3. We welcome anonymous comments from participants who do not have LJ accounts and do not wish to use OpenID. (LJ also allows log-ins with Facebook, Twitter, and Gmail accounts.) However, we require ‘anonymous’ comments to be signed. (For example, if your username on AO3 is FrodoFan1, then sign your comment with FrodoFan1.) Anonymous comments are automatically screened before they appear in the community, and unsigned comments will not be unscreened.

I'm KayleeArafinwiel on AO3, but I haven't figured out how to add my fics to the collection. :(

At the very bottom of each of your fics, just above the kudos listings, there's an "Add to Collections' button. Click that, then enter B2MEM2015 in the field that appears, and press Add. That should do it!

Here's AO3's FAQ about posting to a collection. (It's been added to the entry as well.)

Still having trouble with this one: http://archiveofourown.org/works/545603/chapters/7680377 I guess it's not possible to upload a chapter to a collection as a separate work?

That's correct. It's only possible to add stories to collections, not individual chapters.
