Posting Guide and Treats Info
The 2017 collection, if you haven't noticed yet, is open for posting! Both gifts and treats should be posted there: there will not be a separate collection for treats.
For those new to fandom gift exchanges, a treat is any work not created by the assigned giver or pinch hitter. The treat does not need to meet any of the exchange requirements, except that it must feature an eligible fandom/relationship/character, and it must respect the recipient's do-not-wants.
This means that a fic does not need to be 2,000 words. Additionally, although manips, graphics, edits, etc are not permitted for assignments, they are acceptable for treats.
However, treats must be complete, and like assignments, they must stand alone from other works by the giver.

Posting your assignment:
- Go to your Assignments page on AO3. (http://archiveofourown.org/users/USERNAME/assignments)
- Click Fulfill.
- The archive will automatically select this exchange and your recipient.
- Once your assignment has been posted, it will be anonymous until reveals. It must be complete by the due date, October 22nd at 11:55PM UTC, but you may continue to edit it until the archive goes live on November 3rd at 11:55PM UTC.
Posting a treat:
- Go to the 2017 Fandom Growth Exchange Collection.
- Under the title, click Post to Collection.
- You will need to manually choose the recipient. The simplest (and best) way to do so is to copy/paste their username into the Gift this work to field.
- Once your treat has been posted, it will be anonymous until reveals. You may continue to edit it until the archive goes live on November 3rd at 11:55PM UTC.
