pokepodprojectThis year's PokePod AO3 collection and Rare Candies collection will reveal in three hours, so this is your reminder to re-date your works! Re-dating means your fics and pods will show up at the top of their fandom tags when people search by new, rather than stay buried back in August/September.
To re-date, locate your work(s) by navigating to your Works page (using AO3's left sidebar link) then clicking the “Works in Collections” button, top right. Open the work, hit edit, and scroll to the “Set a different publication date” checkbox. When you select the checkbox, a dropdown will appear. Change the work’s publication date to today, then save by hitting post. It may take a few minutes to take effect.
Other suggested checks:
- Don’t forget to add any podfic tags you might want and "[Podfic]" or "Podfic of:" to your title, however you like to signify that.
- Is the Pokemon you wrote about tagged as a character? Many people browse the collection (or AO3) by searching the Pokemon's name. If they're tagged, it easier for them to find your story!
