Inserting images between text

[RacyReads]

Hi folks, I'm new to this site.

Does anyone know if it is possible to insert images in between text? I know it is possible to add images after a paragraph or when a line ends, but I would like to wrap text around the image similar to google docs.

I heard that once we submit in plain text, they'll fomat it into HTML before publishing. Is it true?

Hello there, I am <u>RacyReads</u> and this is a test sentence.

<div style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; width: 100%;">
<div style="width: 50%">
    <img src="https://i.ibb.co/test/test1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 10px;">
</div>
<p style="width: 47%; margin-left: 3%;">
    test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph
   
    test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph
   
    test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph
   
    test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph test paragraph
    </p>
</div>

This worked perfectly when I tried to preview after saving the changes. But I doubt if will be published the same way if I submit my story as an illustrated story

Any kind of input is appreciated.

This is a question only Laurel can answer.

Nobody here can give you a better answer than you would get by sifting through the last 100 posted Illustrated stories except Laurel, so PM-ing her would be more fruitful than this thread.

 

[RacyReads]

Thanks for the reply @AwkwardMD. I tried to ping her. Hope she responds.

@Laurel mentioning here as well just in case.

 

[AwkwardMD]

Laurel really only responds to PM (sometimes). Good luck.

I think I’ve only seen one instance of images in a non-Illustrated category story. Some story about an island and game show? I saw a post or thread in the forum a few years ago. You might be able to search for it.

Hi, thanks for replying. But I was looking to insert images in between text, without unnecessary white spaces, especially if the image is a portrait.

Something like this.

click (place cursor) to the beginning of a paragraph then use Insert Image icon in menu or (Ctrl+P). Either upload image (following Lit rules) or link to an image.



Once the image is viewable click on it and it will bring up sizing handles and option to align (float) right.

That might work in the Forums, but the story side formatting is different, which is why there's only one category for Illustrated Stories. I assume different processing is required, and it's done on a batch basis - which can cause long delays.

Fair enough - didn't realise this was in Author's Hangout until after I completed post. Followed a link here in a request on How Too...

Thanks for the detailed explanation, this would work for forums and threads, but I was asking about submitting stories under the category of Illustrated Stories.

I submitted few chapters of my stories yesterday by including the images using div and img tags in HTML. But, they are yet to review it. Hope they accept it.

I doubt its possible to do what you want, because the image links are outside of literotica.com domain. The images will need to be hosted on literotica's site. Illustrated stories are pretty much like that -- The images in an illustrated story are manually uploaded by the admins and then they futz with the story text to link to those images. They don't usually preserve the flow, unfortunately.

Oh, thanks for letting me know.

I just checked my submission got removed. (not even sent back)

 

[AwkwardMD]

That's not normal. If something like that happened, it's a glitch and not the admin poo-pooing your submission.

 

[AwkwardMD]

Even stuff that wildly violates the terms of service gets one of a couple dozen rejection notices.

Are you suggesting me to resubmit the stories again?

If they meet the guidelines and style format for an illustrated story, then yes. Please note that, due to unrelated factors, illustrated submissions often take over a month to post

I resubmitted the Illustrated story.

But when I clicked refresh, all the other stories I submitted are gone.. (even the published ones got removed)

No idea what's going on. Do you know if it's possible to have a one-on-one chat with the reviewer?

I looked on your stories page and it doesn't show that you have any works published. I'd raise a flag with @Manu or @Laurel. There may be something on the backend they need to look into.

I've never done an illustrated story, but in general even using very basic tags (the smallest step beyond <i> <u> etc.) to get the story to format the way you want is a crapshoot.

Some tags are kept, some are thrown out. Some look good in the story preview and then get ignored or messed up once published. Some things work if users have the default text display but not if they start changing things.

If you are trying to submit the story as complex html, it seems possible that it is disrupting the entire submission, perhaps as an anti-malware measure or something.

Hi guys,

I see my stories neither getting published not getting sent back. It's been 5 days since I submitted 2 new stories. Can someone tell me if there's any way to contact the reviewers or to speed up the process?

If you've submitted illustrated stories, prepare for a long wait. From previous threads over the years, it's been established that illustrated stories get done in batches, maybe once a month, even longer.

Laurel is the only go to person, the site editor.
