Posting is open! Instructions below
According to the schedule, the posting period is December 10th to December 23rd, so I went ahead and set up the collection.
Normally I run the entire exchange through ao3 - they have a special collection type for gift exchanges. But that often caused more problems with matching, so I'm trying it a new way this year using google forms for sign ups. This means, of course, that I'm not using the gift exchange for the collection.
Bear with me as I try to figure this all out, please!
1. Go to our collection page.
2. Click Post To Collection in the upper right corner.
3 Fill out your post as normal. Under associations, where it says post to collection, type in SGA_Secret_Santa_2022. Right below that, it says, gift this work to type in your recipients name.
4. Hit post. Since this collection is moderated, it should send me an email letting me know that I need to approve the fic's addition to the collection. This collection is set to anonymous, so it'll keep the authors secret until reveals.
5. I reveal the authors on Christmas!
