Orson Krennic and Galen Erso - On the Lookout

“My instinct is they’re after you, and not me. Go back to the ship. Tell them to power up and be ready to leave. I’ll be there within ten minutes.”

My part for the @thegalacticimperials Big Bang event: I got paired up with @ivnwrites and got to illustrate her fic: Till Only My Bones Remain!

AU where Krennic suddenly dropped out of the Academy and disappeared, only to resurface years later as the leader of a small crew of pirates. Hired by the alliance to raid the Eadu base, Krennic abducts Galen as part of the job, planning to turn him over once they reach Yavin.

Of course, things rarely go as planned for Krennic.

How to embed an image in a fic on AO3

Some of you have asked for a tutorial on how to embed an image in a fic you’ve posted on AO3. It’s very simple, and will make your life a lot easier!

First, upload the image to a hosting site. This works with tumblr or with something like imgur. Anything that gives you a direct link to the actual image will work.

A direct link looks like this on imgur.

If you’re using an image on tumblr, it will be the .jpg url that appears after you click on the image. Make sure you use a .jpg url for this.

Second, open up your fic in the edit text window. Make sure you use the HTML posting box. 

The “work text” box should have the HTML clicked. If you want to add formatting, like bold and italics, you can do it in this box by using the html, but you can also add images!

Third, find the spot in your fic where you’d like to include the image. Paste or write this: <p><img src=“http:// THE DIRECT IMAGE LINK.JPG”/></p>

Last, preview your fic! The image should appear right where you placed it.

Submit to the IBB 2017 AO3 collection

We hope you're as excited about the IBB as we are! Since the big reveal is right around the corner, we've set up a collection for all the works on AO3.

Here's how to use it:

When you and your partner are finished with your project, check in with each other. Choose whether or not you want to embed art in your fic post on ao3 (we recommend embedding, but a link is also fine).

If you choose not to embed your art, wait to post it until the 19th, or set the post as private until that point. You can always add the link to the fic after the 19th.

Next, upload the edited and final version of your fic to the ao3 collection using this link (x)

Next, sit back and wait for the 19th, when all the fics and art will be revealed.

Some additional info:

Feel free to make a separate post on tumblr with the art and or fic after the 19th!

If you’re confused about collections on ao3, click here (x). This will explain everything you need to know.

If you want to learn how to embed art in a fic on ao3, send us a message and we’ll put together a tutorial.

IBB Check in #1

Today is the first check in for the IBB.

At this point, we hope authors and artists have connected, chosen a prompt and have a good sense of where to go from here. 

So what do you do for the check in?

Send us an email or an ask, confirming that you’ve chosen a prompt and feel comfortable. We don’t need to see any work at this point, but we want to make sure you’re settled in your partnerships. 

Only one person of each partnership needs to check in, as long as you’ve talked to each other and feel comfortable!

First IBB Discord Chat!

We know you all are excited about your Imperial Big Bang projects and are hard at work.

But we also know that sometimes questions come up, and you want to ask the mods a little more informally. We also know that not everyone knows each other well, and would love to get to talk a bit more.

So we’re hosting an IBB discord chat this weekend.

It will be from Saturday, July 15th, 0800 Eastern time to Sunday, July 16th, 1300 Eastern time. Here’s a timezone converter (x).

The mods will post the link to the special IBB-centric chat here on Saturday.

We’d love to see any imperials interested in chatting about the bang there!
