Hooray! You've made a podfic! But now, how do you share it? Posting to tumblr, youtube, or a fandom-specific community are all decent options. But chances are, if the fic you recorded is from AO3, you'll reach the largest and most receptive audience by also posting to AO3.
The archive welcomes all types of fanwork, but is structured and built primarily for written works. Posting podfic can be confusing or complicated if you're unfamiliar with it. This guide will cover both the basic mechanics of posting podfic to AO3, as well as the typical conventions used by the podfic community to help your audio be found by people who want to listen.

How to Use Hidden Search Operators (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio
Fandoms: No Fandom
17 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
This came about mostly because I kept needing to bounce around all over the internet looking for guides on how to use the hidden search functions on AO3. In other words, filtering tags and more using the "Search within results" field. It turns out these operators are capable of a lot of useful stuff, but how to do it isn't always super intuitive, so. Here is my attempt to consolidate as much information as I can into one spot!

The "Search Within Results" Field and You, Pt. 2 by AO3 News

Summary
Part 2: Advanced Filtering
Users frequently ask us for an easy, clickable option to filter *out* certain tags, or generate a list of works that are either one rating *or* another. Right now, ticking boxes in the filters will only show you a work if it has *all* the things you have ticked. [...]
However, we previously showed you a workaround using the 'Search within results' field in the Sort & Filter sidebar. [...]
As this relies on text matches across all tags, summary, and notes, putting in -Explicit will also hide works from you that are rated Teen, but include something like "This will get explicit in later parts!" in the notes. Or, as mentioned in our last post, "Derek/Stiles" will also match a list of tags containing "Derek, Stiles" in that order.
There's a way you can use our expertly wrangled tags in the 'Search within results' field, but it requires you to look up a tag ID. Right now, this is only possible for Fandom, Character, and Relationship tags.

AO3 News Post from 2013-09-21. This explains how to find tag ID numbers, so you can filter and search by tag IDs rather than tag names.
See Chapter 3 of "How to Use Hidden Search Operators (And Get Real Specific About It)" for a method that can find tag IDs for tags which are not fandom, character, or relationship tags.
"Part 1: The Basics" is at The "Search Within Results" Field and You, Part 1, but the updated version is Hidden search operators cheatsheet.
"Part 3: The Round-Up" is at The 'Search Within Results' Field and You: The Round-Up.

Bookmarker's Notes
AO3 News Post (2018-06-06): This will help you with more nuanced searches (and filtering with the "Search Within Results" field). It might surprise you; there were functions listed here that I didn't realize existed until years into using AO3. This is an updated version of "The "Search Within Results" Field and You, Pt. 1" (AO3 News Post 2013-09-14).
(This was also a test to check if the external bookmark function could be used to add an AO3 News post to a collection. Success!)

No prior knowledge of CSS or html are required to use the instructions in this work.
