If you're using AO3 for posting your fills, the simplest way to link back to the comm is to c+p the AO3 share feature coding into a post here. If you've got 4-5 ready doing them as a batch is great, but it's also fine to do them singly as you go - whichever you prefer!
So, you have your 4 (soon to be 5!) fills ready at AO3. Go into the first work, click the share button on the top right and & copy the coding from the text box it gives you.
Open up a new post here at 100ships. (You can find the "post" button at centre-top in the black strip on this comm layout; it's also on the left hand side on our profile page, or you can use your journal post function but select 100ships from the drop down menu instead of [yourjournal] - whichever is easiest.)
Then c+p the AO3 coding into the post (but switch to html editor first or the code just comes out as code). Repeat for each work and then click the post button at the bottom. (There's a preview function so you can check the formatting came out all right before you post.) No need to worry about tags unless you want to - they're v basic here, and I can add them with my modly powers.
If any of that is still a bit weird right now, it's fine to just link back in the comments here to record your progress, or to simply post to AO3 and then let me know here when you've done. (Posting to the comm is great and you are very welcome to do so, but it is optional if you'd prefer not to.)
If for any reason, the above doesn't work out and you do want to post to the comm, I could always make your first works post for you until you've got the hang of it, if you give me the links. But it isn't as complicated as writing all that out made it sound - I'm sure once you've poked about a bit and worked out where the functions are, you'll be fine!
If you don't want to use the AO3 share feature, there's an example posting template above you could use as a header instead - c+p, fill in the relevant details for each fanwork & paste in the link; rinse and repeat. I find the AO3 share feature is quicker for me, but whichever works best for you!
I hope that makes sense? If you've any further questions, just ask. (I also find that if I don't know how to do things on Dreamwidth, googling "how to do x on Dreamwidth" usually gets me straight to their instructions as well, if that's helpful on general site things as you get used to it.) ♥
