The Archive Is Open!

[muccamukk]

Praise Be to Pinch Hitters!

Everyone should have gotten an e-mail notice about their story(ies). Failing that, try the gifts page in your AO3 profile. Please read and comment on your story as soon as you can manage. I know everyone worked really hard.

Some people have posted notes in the last post, or to the femslashex tumblr tag about not being around to comment for a while, but generally I wouldn't worry if no comments for a bit. It's mid week and a busy time of year.

The archive, as sorted by fandom, can be found here. Do take a read through when you get a chance. Also comment. And leave kudoes. And roll around in the giant pile of femslash! GIANT PILE OF FEMSLASH!

You may crosspost your story to wherever you like. There's no anon period on this fest. Promote your darlings!

Okay, I'm slightly giddy and wandering off to read my story now. Enjoy, everyone.

I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, and I don't know whether it's something you can fix or if it's an AO3 bug, but my story isn't showing up on my works page here - http://archiveofourown.org/users/littlerobbergirl/works
or in the main ship tag here - http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Santana%20Lopez*s*Brittany%20S*d*%20Pierce/works

I checked and noticed it happened to a couple of other stories in the collection as well. Is it something you can fix or should I open a support ticket with AO3?

Thank you for all your hard work! Now off to read the stories!

[muccamukk]

How odd! I don't think that's a button of which I have control. Put in a ticket, if you like, or I'll do it if not.

ETA: Have sent a bug report.

[littlerobbergirl]

hah, I was just coming here to say the same thing.

thanks again.

[muccamukk]

Also, no one got notifications on their subscriptions, which they should have when the works went unanon. I didn't mention that in my bug report, as I've just found out now.

For the record, editing your story (even if you don't change anything) and saving apparently makes it appear.

[muccamukk]

Mine's showing up, and I didn't edit it. Littlerobbergirl's is not. Maybe it's just a timelag of some kind in the tagging process.

See what tech support says.

[settiai]

One of my stories (the older one, my actual assignment) wasn't showing, but the other one (the pinch-hit, which I posted later) was. As soon as I hit "Edit" and then "Post," it started showing up. *shrugs* I'm not entirely certain what caused the glitch in the first place, but it does appear to have fixed it.

[psalmoflife]

Possibly related to the above problems: my story had retroactively posted to the date that I originally uploaded the draft (November 7). When I changed the post date to the 13th, it appeared in the tags and in my works. I'm not sure if that happens with every challenge collection or if it's femslashex specific, though.

[muccamukk]

Specific to this challenge, so far as I know. I did two other AO3 fest this year, and neither had this nonsense on reveals.

Thank you for posting about the issue. I'll point tech support here, and hopefully they'll be able to sort it out.

[littlerobbergirl]

I went to Edit Work and changed the date, and that worked. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. But yeah, I did another exchange earlier this year and didn't have a problem. So hopefully Support can figure out what was going on. Especially because a number of people seem to have been affected, and some of them may not have figured out the workaround.

thanks so much for running this! it's been a while since i wrote something, and this was a delightful way to get back into it. plus the story i got was so cute. ;~;

[madamebadger]

I just wanted to thank you for running the exchange this year! I had an absolute blast.

[cest_what]

Likewise, thank you for making this happen! The collection looks amazing.
