How to Fulfill Your Assignment
There are three very easy ways to fulfill your exchange assignment once you receive it.
note
These instructions only deal with fulfilling your assigned request for the exchange. If you're looking for how to give a treat, please see Treats & Treatless FAQ - How do I give a Treat?
From New Work
- Once you're signed in to AO3, click on
Post
->New Work
. - Complete the New Work information as normal: Title, etc, etc.

section above the normal Post to Collection box, you'll see a new section for "Does this fulfill a challenge assignment" and next to that a box with check options for which exchange assignment you're fulfilling. Check the box for the assignment you want to fulfill, and continue posting as normal!
