Kingsman Revese Bang

Story posting for Kingsman Reverse Bang (Round One) stories starts tomorrow! We find it really hard to believe that all of the hard work is now about to pay off. Where did the time go?

While many of you are veterans of fic challenges and are well-versed in the details, some of you are newbies and we'll be delighted to help you through the process. We've been trying to keep everyone informed about how to do this stuff, but some details may have gotten overlooked. Please don't hesitate to contact either of your mods for assistance if you can't find answers here:

How to post images on AO3

Posting to the AO3 Collection and cross-posting to the Dreamwidth KRB Community

What if I'm not done on the 18th?

ETA: How to add an image to the cross-posting entry

Again, we really appreciate all of the artists and authors who've participated in this challenge/exchange and all of the hard work you've put into creating fanworks for the Kingsman fandom.

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.
