If you are posting your Remix to the Archive of Our Own:
1. Go to the
Camelot Remix 2021 collection and click on the
Post to Collection button.
2. Fill out all the relevant fields on the form, including checking the remix box, and filling in your remixee’s name as a recipient. Copy and paste the text of your work into the Work Text box.
3. Click on Preview (bottom right, below the text box for the story) and make sure everything displays the way you want it. If you need to change something, click on Edit. Edit, Preview, and repeat.
4. Click on Post (bottom right) when you’re ready to post!
You’ll be able to see your own story and you can make changes any time, but the stories won’t go public until the mods flip the switch. (When we have a remix for everybody.)
It is important to note that you need to fill out the following information:
Work Title: We strongly encourage funky remix subtitles! (Though please note that they are not required).
Traditionally remix titles tend to go like this: “Title (The Funky Subtitle Remix)”. You can use the original story’s title for your main title or the funky remix subtitle, or use two new titles.
Besides being fun (and we say this as people who usually hate coming up with fic titles), funky remix titles are useful in that they make it obvious to anyone glancing at a list of your fics that this one is a remix.
Here’s a link to
a meta post and discussion about funky remix subtitles, in case this paragraph wasn’t enough for you.
Add co-authors?: Don’t check this. There’s a specific space for the remixee’s name later.
Summary: Summaries are really helpful for readers!
Add notes: Author’s notes are optional. Check one of the boxes and a text box will show up. Best to leave out beta thanks and other notes that might give away who you are. Remember, these fics will be anonymous at first, but you can go back and edit any of this later after the reveals.
Challenge-specific parts you need to fill out on your AO3 entry
Fulfill an Assignment/Is this to fulfill a challenge assignment? Skip this part. Since we did signups here on LJ/DW or via Google Forms, your assignment isn’t in the system.
Post to Collections/Challenges: This field should say CamelotRemix2021. If it doesn’t, type it in. This is very important!
Recipient(s): (if this work is a gift) Although a remix isn’t technically a gift, you should fill in your recipient’s name here so that they’ll get a notification when the fic becomes public. We will post the list of AO3 usernames of remix participants after assignments go out.
This work is a remix, a translation, or was inspired by another work: Check this box! Other boxes will open up for you to paste in the URL of the story you’re remixing. If you link to a story already on AO3, the system will automatically show the author name and title, and readers can get to it in one click. If you link to a story on LJ or another site, you need to fill in the author’s name and title, and readers will get to it in two clicks.
