"Please Note: if you are reading this on an app that runs ads against the content, you are doing so against my express wishes. AO3 exists to avoid obligations to ad producers and protect writers by not collecting money for our works. Please consider deleting content scraper apps and reading this in a browser so you won't be supporting dubious people who are collecting your information and repurposing my fics for their own personal gain."

https://old.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/comments/71epei/posting_fic_to_ao3_anonymously_not_orphaning/To anonymize a work:
find 'Post to Collections/Challenges' and enter 'Anonymous'.To find that anonymized work:
1.press My work, find 'Works in Collections'
2.press Statics.
3.add it to browser bookmark or AO3 private bookmark beforehand.If you orphanize your novel, you will truly sever all ties, and unable to edit it afterward.
"Adding a work to a collection called Anonymous" will hide the author's pseudonym and ensure the novel cannot be found on the author's homepage, but the work remains editable.
However, the moderators and owner of the collection will know the work's author. And for those with strong privacy needs (such as concerns about cyberbullying), orphanize a work is still the safest method.If you no longer wish to remain anonymous, simply leave the collection. However, the pen name will immediately revert to your pen name.
