I already have an account created for me by Yuletide. But tell me about this feature! I have nearly 80 fics to upload there sometime. I could use any tip that makes it easier.
It's simple enough -- if you go to "Post New" on AO3 there's a button at the top that says "Import From An Existing URL Instead?" Click it, and then fill out the form with the URL of your LJ post. If you have more than one chapter, enter all of the URLs, one per line. Then click Import.
AO3 will import the text of the story, and it'll even grab the title, rating, pairings, and other info from your fic header. It'll put everything in the usual AO3 post interface for you. Then all you need to do is edit it to add missing info and/or formatting, and you're done. Way easier than cut-n-pasting everything in by hand!
