What will happen when my work is imported onto the AO3?

When your work is imported onto the AO3, several things will happen:

• We’ll send an email to the email address associated with the account on the archive that’s being imported, letting you know you can come and claim your works.
• If you already have an account on the Archive of Our Own, you’ll be able to claim the works and add them to your existing AO3 account.
• If you don’t have an account on the Archive of Our Own, you will be invited to create one, and will be able to claim your imported works and associate them with that account.
• Your imported works will be locked to logged-in Archive users by default.
