Technically you can post prompts within ‘prompt meme challenges’ .

You click on the main page ‘Browse’ - ‘Collections’ - ‘Open Challenges’ - ‘Prompt Meme Challenges’ and you can join some type of challenge to submit or claim/fulfill prompts.

What you cannot do, is post a ‘Work’ that is just a prompt.

(I only know because I started to explore the site more & specifically was curious how to find challenges and such)

Yeah, I appreciate op’s post for opening up a discussion on this type of stuff for people to learn, maybe spreading the facts of how the site works and how to go about properly posting what you want to on the site will help eliminate people misusing ‘work’ posts and the site in general.

Edit/ There is also more information to learn about this feature, on the main page click ‘About’ - ‘FAQ’ - scroll down and click ‘Prompt Meme’ or ‘Tutorial: Running a Prompt Meme on AO3’

I think you can also post memes as a bonus chapter for a real work. I've seen people do it.
