AO3 gave Christmas present invites---
Dec. 28th, 2017 11:26 amI just read the AO3 news for Dec. 25th (been busy tackling yard work for WEEEKS) and discovered that they gave sharable invites out.
LIMIT ONE per existing account that currently has no sharable invites, is at least six months old and has either left at least ten comments or posted at least one work.
I didn't get one because I have been hoarding one for years on the chance I'll want to give it to someone I personally know is not a spammer during one of the yearly (so far) invite queue shutdowns due to spammers. (I saw a lot of people asking for invites on the AO3 blog, but I did not KNOW any of them & I HAD seen spam comments on the blog, so didn't want to risk wasting an invite on a possible spammer.)
Check your dashboard under the 'invitations' button to see if you got one. If you don't have one, and the only thing missing to make you eligible are comments/ works, I'd suggest commenting on ten favorite works and then asking AO3 Support if they can give you a guest invite to share.
