c_im_bigbangReveals begin May 1st, so it's time to go over detailed posting instructions.
What do I need:
-Artists, have your web size art plus a thumbnail (no larger than 300x200) ready to go.
-Authors, have your finished fics (at least 6k) web formatted and ready to go.
How it will work:
Each participating author and artist will upload their own artwork/fic individually. We strongly prefer that fic be hosted on Ao3 or LJ/DW (tumblr is NOT allowed for primary fic hosting). For art, we prefer one of the usual image hosting sites (deviantart, flickr, photobucket, private server, etc) but tumblr will be allowed if a direct link to the image file is included in the community masterpost.
Finding a direct image link on tumblr:
Upload art as a photo. Go to the post and expand the image to the largest resolution possible (either click on the image or click the High-res link). Typically the image will appear centered over a darker background. Right-click the image and select copy image location/copy image URL. Paste this direct link in your address bar and hit enter to test. The image should appear again centered over a gray background, and the URL in the address bar should NOT contain your blog URL. It should look something like this:

This is your static, direct image link.
For works posted to Ao3, please add your art/fic to the Cap-IM 2014 RBB collection. If you do not have an Ao3 account and would like an invite code, let us know and we'll hook you up.
On your chosen reveal day, ONE member from each team will make a masterpost to the main comm (LJ or DW), using the following header:
Remember to tag your masterpost. If a team member has not posted to the comm before, leave a note at the bottom and we'll create a tag for them.
If in doubt, follow this example from last year or leave a comment. We're aware that some folks are new at this, and we endeavor to make the process as painless as possible.
