I'm so frustrated! I want to post a work to the AO3 collection, and I know how to do that, but Porn Battle XV (The Ides of Porn) does not come up on the list of choices on the pull-down menu, and when I type it in manually, it tells me there's no such thing.

And yet it exists! Lots of people have posted to it already!

Is anyone else having this problem?

All the past Porn Battles appear for me as possible choices, btw.

I think the issue is that the autocomplete isn't working for it yet, so it's a bit tricky if you try to post from your dashboard.

The best thing to do is go to the Porn Battle page, and post a new work to it directly, rather than posting from your own dashboard. Alternately, if you're trying to add a story to the collection retrospectively, you'll need to add it to PornBattleXV with no spaces, and that should work.

I hope that helps!!! And sorry it's proving frustrating - I'm putting in a help request with AO3 to get the autocomplete fixed, so that should help.

Should I delete and try again? No comments yet.

If you don't mind doing so, it might be easiest. I've contacted AO3 and asked them to add PornBattleXV to the autocomplete, so it should be easier soon, but in the meantime, going straight to the collection page and posting from that is probably the best/easiest/least frustrating option.

OK, I deleted and reposted through the Porn Battle page, and that worked. THANKS!

Our replies just overlapped! Anyway, glad you got it sorted, and sorry it was a hassle. Next year I'll make a note to create the collection as far in advance as possible, to give the AO3 team plenty of time to see to the autocomplete.
