Artists' Quick Posting Guide
This is the short version of the much more detailed How to Post article. If you are struggling with any part of the process, please click the link above and read through the parts that are giving you trouble! There are more pictures and every little bit of nitty-gritty included. If this is your first time posting, itâs a good idea to read this post and the other.
Upload your art to a valid hosting website. Commonly used sites are PRIVATE posts on Tumblr (not public!) and postimages.org
Consult this AO3 article on embedding your art for more information.
Copy the CORRECT link to your art. The link MUST end in .jpg, .gif, .png, or another filetype. You can usually get this by right-clicking on the image and selecting 'Copy Image Address'
If your image link ends in .html or anything else besides a filetype, it will not work!
Once you have a valid image URL, click this link and hit âPost to Collection.â
Fill out the details about your work (fandom, ship, rating, etc)
Go to the âChapter textâ box and hit the little square between the paper clips and the quotation marks.
When this box appears, paste the link to your image.
You may need to add a tiny bit of text to the box, too - such as crediting your author, or any bases/brushes/textures you used.
If youâre still confused or have any other questions, please read the How to Post article in full!
