Hello! How did you make the ao3 collection for Drew week? Im having trouble trying to figure out all of the different things involved in making one
hi!
First thing you want to do is click on "Collections" on the dashboard, and afterwards hit "new collection" (as pictures below)
It will then bring you to a form. The most important things are 1. Collection name and 2. Collection Preferneces
The collection name has two parts, the name itself and the display name. The name is what people type into the "add to collection" box in their draft, the display name is what shows up.
You can check as many boxes for preferences as you want. Moderated means that the admin has to approve each work before its added to the collection. A collection being unrevealed means that there are works added to it, but the collection isn't public. A closed collection means that no one can add to it.
You can always edit preferences, so it can take on different qualities as an event goes on.
Hope this helps you out a bit! And feel free to ask more questions if needed 😊
