Dear mods, I have a question regarding the header I'll be sending you. Since this won't be posted on lj, I was thinking that perhaps I shouldn't be using the type of HTML I'd be using here, correct? Example: author: my username (which I'd have to delete when actually posting), without the [Unknown site tag] tag?

We are posting the headers on this comm and linking back to the AO3 posts, so yes, when you submit please include the html in the header as you would for anything posted on LJ. It saves us from having to add it in ourselves.

Thanks!
