Ooookay. Big bang ( @dcjbigbang ) question here.
When it comes to adding art to a fic in AO3 is the only way to link to it?
I’m trying to set up my fic to publish, but obviously the art isn’t up yet. I have copies. I was wondering if I can just directly insert them, rather than wait for my artist to publish on the day?
(Also if you click “publish draft” from the draft page does that publish the whole multichapter fic in one go? Or do you have to go through and publish chapter by chapter?)
@anonymousantonym @winchester-reload had a super easy way to insert art into Ao3 without it having to be published. We have no idea how it works, but it does. Open a TEXT post on Tumblr and click picture to insert the photo. Once it is there go the the settings button at the top right hand corner and click HTML. Copy the code and paste it into Ao3. It will show up in Ao3 and you can cancel the tumblr post. Or save it as a draft. We hope that this helps and a huge thank you to @winchester-reload.
