New Collection on AO3 for J2 OTP

[meus_venator]

J2 OTP Collection
I seem to be on a bit of a Collection making binge. Here now to complete the set : ) is a J2 OTP Collection.
Please feel free to add any of your J2 work, crack or serious, PG or NC17 to the Collection. As an overarching Collection we also have Supernatural RPS if your pairing isn't J2. This is an open Collection for any Author/Artist to add their Jared/Jensen slash or Jared/Jensen Fiction or Art to.


And to collect all of them here is the whole set:

Supernatural Collection on AO3
This Collection is to bring together under one searchable Collection any and all fics based on the characters of Supernatural.
Whether it's Gen or Slash, serious or crack, PG to NC-17, whatever your flavour of creative: fic, art or videos, we welcome it all. They can have pairings like Sam and Dean, Sam and Jess, Dean and Lisa or they can just be friends. It can even be about Bobby's day at Singer Salvage, or Castiel reflecting on the bees, we welcome it all.



Supernatural RPF Collection on AO3
This is an open Collection for any Author/Artist to add their Supernatural Real Person Slash or Real Person Fiction, Art or Vid. Whatever the rating, (whether it be PG or NC-17), or the mix ( JDM/JA or J2, Misha/Richard or Chris/Danneel), whatever your flavour of creative is we welcome it all. We'd just like to have it all in one place to make it easier for readers to find their Supernatural RPF fix.



There is also a J2 Crack Collection on AO3
In support of the new j2_crack comm, this Collection was created to bring together all your favourite Crack creations be they fic, art or vid. So please add to our Collections whenever you think of it.

First of all I want to say that this is an awesome idea and so glad you started this.

Now I have a question. I have saved works from an author who is no longer online. They clearly stated that they were leaving their works to be shared and for the fandom. Is there any way to get these posted into the archives?

The author in particular is insertcode11


I really think she? has some wonderful work and that these archives are the perfect place for new and old fans alike to be able to find her? works. ^_^

The way Collections work on AO3 is You have to add them to the Collection, it's not something I can do. It's just like adding any other tag to the work. If you go to edit any piece, on the main page (in case of multi-chapter stories), one of the many listed items on the left as you scroll down is: Collection, or Add to Collection. If you follow linvro21's instructions All the fic/art/entries on your account will show up at once with a checkbox beside it and you an go through and check off all or some of the work that fits into each Collection category. It's pretty easy, it's more a matter of noticing the Collection line item in the list of stuff and knowing what to do with it. For example Sam and Dean the OTP LJ site already has a collection set up.

I'd add it at my end IF I could, but that's not how AO3 works.

Then you can bookmark the Collection you want and I think you will get advisories each time something is added ( not sure on that) AO3 may just remember your favourite bookmarks.

Good luck! And so nice of you to save these orphan, but oh so wanted stories.
