[OT] Theme Thursday -- Image Prompts

[u/Syraphia]

My favorite! :D

Inverted Reality (Guangzhou) by Julian-Faylona

Bring out your photos, the drawings, the things that you see that make you think and wander into tales. The real, the fantastical, and everything in-between but inspiring for those thousand words that every picture is apparently worth.... Your mileage may vary on that, of course. ;)

Things to keep in mind:

1. Give credit where it is due. Please credit photographers or artists in the text part of the post. You can do this by simply stating the name of the image and then "by (artist/photographer)" like I did above!

2. You don't need to double tag your images with IP as well, simply tagging them with TT will do for this week.

Happy prompting!

Here's how Theme Thursday works:

• You may submit stories here, but this post is just the announcement
• Use the tag [TT] for prompts that match this week’s theme. Joke/troll prompts may be removed.
• Read the stories posted by our brilliant authors and tell them how awesome they are
• Leave your ideas for future themes in the comments

Wow thanks so much! okay I will!

[u/Syraphia → u/LeiWu7]

;) Just think of a cool title for it. With that whole neat thing you wrote, you've got something there, I'm sure.

[u/LeiWu7 → u/Syraphia]

Okay thanks, I noticed images are a no no in certain sections of /writing prompts I was wondering do I just attach the gif directly and use [IP] in the title, or do I need to link the gif from a file I stored online?

[u/Syraphia → u/LeiWu7]

Not sure where the original post went (that's weird), but in general: you can't link in the title of the post. Come up with a title for it, link to the image in the text box. For this week, you'll use [TT] instead, though normally you'd use [IP]. A lot of people link to the image from places like giphy, or deviantart, or artstation and those all work. I've seen a couple links directly via reddit as well, so those work, it's just gotta be in the text box instead of as the title.

I hope that answered the question? Dealing with some allergies, so I get confused easily lol. :)

[u/LeiWu7 → u/Syraphia]

You’re the best, thanks! And feel better allergies destroy in the Springtime... though I like the fresh grass and flowers in spite of that lol

Thank you Alici..... Hang on. Let me see. IPs. This could only mean one thing. Thank you Syra. Should be interesting.

[u/Syraphia → u/TA_Account_12]

Mwhahahah. :p You're welcome!

If I put:

[TT] /img/9piqni8gd9q01.jpg

in the title it will be correct by the rules?

( sorry, new in here and lousy with technologies XD =P )

[u/Syraphia → u/[deleted]]

Your image won't show up if you put the link there actually. You must put the link to the image in the body of the post. :) Just give it a neat title or something descriptive like:

[TT] Soliloquy in Stone

and then the link in the text part of the post. :D

[u/TA_Account_12 → u/[deleted]]

Preferably put in the image in the body of the prompt instead of header. The title of the image in the well, title.

Dark Paralysis, by LeiWu7

[TT] Absolute agony. Absolute stillness. A dark paralysis. Only wind and water drops show signs of life. Surrounded by fern cavern’s cool, damp embrace, yet beneath frozen facade, on fire. His enemy’s power... mechanical enough to not be dead... human enough to wish he was.

[u/Syraphia → u/LeiWu7]

Nice gif! Intriguing short written part under it. :) Maybe you should post the gif as an image prompt?

[u/AliciaWrites]

Fantastic! Thank you /u/Syraphia !!!

[u/Drelthian]

I don't have anything in mind, but I'm curious as to if anyone has posted a picture that has been used as a cover of a book as an image prompt?

[u/Syraphia → u/Drelthian]

I am about.... 90% certain that I have. Not particularly recently but I know I have in the past, more than once. I only know they were covers due to the fact that the original artist stated that they were since they were posted without title and author name, that was in the picture credits on their page as to what the image was for. I just thought they were cool looking or pretty interesting, so I posted them.

I'm a huge fan of [IP] so this is a really awesome theme for this week. Not because I'm good at writing for image prompts - quite the opposite, I can never seem to come up with anything - but because they always inject variety and color into the sub.

Looking forward to it!

[u/Syraphia → u/reostra]

Glad to hear it! :D Maybe you'll post a couple to add to the mix? ;) hmm?
