When an archive is imported onto AO3, we make every effort to notify you by email.
Depending on how the work was imported, your claim email may include a direct link to create an AO3 account without adding yourself to our regular invitations queue. If you were asked to contact Open Doors with no additional links, reply to the original email or contact us by our form, and we will send you a link to create an AO3 account, circumventing our regular invitations queue. Yay! If you do already have an account, you’ll be able to claim the works for that account.
If you did not receive an email, please contact us and we will verify your identity. We will then give you a link to create your account and transfer the works to you.
You can also choose to leave your work in the hands of the archivist account if you do not want to make any edits.
You do not need to create an account to delete your works. Your claim email may contain a link to delete your work directly. If it did not, or you didn’t receive an email, please contact Open Doors and, once we’ve verified your identity, we can delete your works from AO3.
