Hi,

Finished, and as soon as I can figure out how to upload it, I'll send it along.

It could probably use a good beta-ing. :-)

Hi, Walt. :-) I'm making a late supper just now, but please let me know what I can clear up for you. The posting steps should be exactly the same as last year (except to the 2014 collection instead of the 2013 collection, of course). If anything has changed and you don't know what steps to take, please point it out!

Your story is in the collection! Congratulations!

When you have a chance, please also remember to enter your recipient's AO3 username in the "Associations" > "Gift this work to" field.

Hi,

Re uploading: just normal uncertainties.

I think I got LastScorpion's name in the right place.

Do I have to add my name anywhere? There doesn't seem to be an author's box to check off.

Yes, your story is now correctly gifted to your recipient. Excellent!

:-) But: Shhh! :-) You don't want to say out here in public who your recipient is; your recipient might see your comment and be spoiled for the surprise before your story releases. :-) While the stories are in the queue, only the author (you) and the mod (me) can see who the authors and recipients are. Everyone else sees a "Mystery Story" by "Anonymous."

Regarding your name as author: when you're signed in to your account on the AO3 and post a story, it automatically records the signed-in account as the author of that story. Your story presently, correctly, shows you, WaltD, as its author.

If you'd like to change the author identification of one of your stories on the AO3 (or add a co-author), the thing to do is to click Edit on that story while signed in, and then to scroll down to the Preface block (it's the second block of fields). There, you'll see an Author / Pseud(s) field, listing your own available AO3 identities, and also an Add co-authors? checkbox.

Thank you.

Basically I have little confidence in my computer capabilities. :-)

Have a good night.
