An update from Open Doors:An import bug caused some works to be imported again despite either having been imported using the AO3 import tool or updated by Open Doors. We were able to delete these duplicates and re-import comments for affected works, which sent an import notification to all affected authors; the works listed in those notifications ( Read more... )

When stories are imported, they will have in the notes For [recipient]. If you want the story to be listed in the recipients gifts, you can add their AO3 name (on the edit work page Gift this work to).

The first chat is this weekend: April 26, 4pm UTC (When is that for me?)

The second is going to be on May 4, 1am UTC (When is that for me?)

Each chat is scheduled to last for three hours. Open Doors Staffers and Yuletide Mods will be there to answer questions.

A link to the chatroom will be posted here and from OD before the chat.

Update from OD about comments:

The import is scheduled for early May. We would like to thank Open Doors Committee and AO3 coders for all the work to make this possible ( Read more... )

REMINDER: Please ADD NOTES to bookmarks you are adding to Yuletide Recs. A lot of people have been just adding bookmarks with no notes, but a rec with zero context is not very useful -- if you're posting such recs to an LJ or tumblr, the people following you have the context of knowing you and what you like, but if they're just browsing the recs on ( Read more... )

Hey all, I have created the Yuletide Recs collection on AO3 to collect bookmarks of Yuletide stories.

When you bookmark a story on AO3, just add the "yuletide_recs" collection to the bookmark, and it will automatically add your rec to the collection.
