Kingsman Revese Bang

I have been reminded that the HTML code for the AO3 sharing will not include the artwork, which we do want with the preview. I've also been reminded that Dreamwidth now has a non-html/rich text editor.

If you're using the share code from AO3, you cannot use the non-html/rich text editor, you must use the HTML editor.

To add the image to the post, you will need to use the image URL you'd put into the AO3 posting, with the following:

<center><img src="URL OF IMAGE" width="600"> Art by ARTIST NAME</center>

The quotation marks around the URL are required, just replace the text with the URL.

Paste this at the end of the AO3 share code.

Sorry about the last minute correction!

We're getting so close! And I am so damn proud of all of you. Almost everyone has turned in their drafts and seems to be ready to start posting. This is going to be SUCH an excellent month for the Kingsman Fandom.

A few things ...

We have a nifty collection on AO3, named "Kingsman Reverse Bang" (it will come up "kingsmanreversebang" in the typedown list on AO3). You should add your story to the collection (please do!).

It is up to the author to decide whether to have the artist as a gift recipient or a co-creator - no rules on that, please decide amongst yourselves, but we'd like to see one or the other (or both, if that suits your fancy).

We'd also like for either the author or the artist to post an entry with the story here on the Dreamwidth community (use this link). To make your life easier, you can copy/paste the HTML from the AO3 share script into the New Entry page. Don't worry about tagging, your mods will handle that.

We hope that everyone - artists and writers - have found this to be a positive experience. Thank you to everyone, you've all be great.

Hard to believe but it's almost time for turn in and posting! All of your hard work is about to come to fruition.

This post is more than just a reminder of the impending due dates, it's a primer on how to add artwork to a story.

These instructions presume that you are posting on AO3 (since Tumblr has a drag and drop feature, and honestly, posting anything but a drabble on Tumblr is not a great idea). AO3 has an FAQ for how to insert images, but that presumes that you have the link to the hosted image.

If the artwork hasn't been modified since selection, authors can go to this post, right click on the image of your claimed artwork and copy the image address (it will begin with https://dl.dropbox.com/s/...). If artist and author have discussed and implemented changes and/or the artist has provided additional artwork, those images will need to be hosted. AO3 does not have hosting services, but you can use your Dreamwidth Account to upload them (under the "create" menu/header) and capture the URL there. You can also use Imgur or another hosting service, which will provide an image link.

If you have Dropbox, you can use that to host, but you'll need to make some changes to the URL - when you paste it into the AO3, it will be https://www.dropbox.com/s/, and you'll have to replace the "www." with "dl." so the image displays.

If you have trouble getting any of this to work, please contact me (elrhiarhodan) and I'll walk you through it. It's not hard, just a bit fiddly.
