The Posting Calendar
(links to google calendar; move to February to see schedule)

Reminder how posting works:
You are responsible for keeping your posting date in mind and posting on your own*. Post to hp_kinkfest during the 24hrs of your posting day. Once you've posted to the community, you can cross-post to your own journal/other communities/AO3. If you don’t have an LJ account, you can post to our AO3 collection first and then email us the header information below.

* unless you are posting anon, in which case you need to email us your entry 1 day prior to your posting date.

If you miss your posting day there is Open Posting from Feb 23-28. Feel free to post your work anytime during that week.

Headers
Use to the following headers when you post. We ask that everyone be careful to warn appropriately. Warnings are very important in a fest like this that touches subject matter that not everyone is comfortable with. If you aren't sure what warnings to use, contact the mods.

Header Templates:
for FIC with a claimed prompt:
<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> (please include your name, this is not an anon fest) <b>Prompt Number:</b> ### submitted by <lj user=> <b>Kink Showcased:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Pairing(s):</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Warnings/Content Notes:</b> <b>Word Count:</b> <b>Author's Notes:</b> <b>Available on AO3 here (optional):</b>

AO3
If you are interested in posting your work to AO3, here’s a few things to note:
- Please post to our AO3 collection: HP_Kinkfest
- The collection is moderated, but we’ll do our best to approve work in a timely manner. But we will wait until your assigned posting date.
- You can link to your AO3 post in your header.
- Using tags on AO3 does wonders, especially for kink fics. Many people search using popular kink tags and will read any pairing, any fandom as long as it contains that kink they’re looking for. Take the time to find out how the kink you are writing is commonly tagged on AO3 so people can find your fic. Here’s a list of the most popular tags on AO3 for some suggestions.
