Comment on Calling fanartists! Tell us about your ideal archive!

  1. In addition to what others have said, I'd love the ability to reupload a newer version of an artwork without breaking links -- in other words, I'd love a means of editing a work after it's been posted.

    Also, there should be a clear policy about hotlinking image files (but I expect you all have already thought that one through).

    1. A man hugs a Phryge in front of grimacing Karkat.

      I'd say for images it'd be best to do an invisible right-click disable. That way, no one can really save the file without taking a screenshot or whatever. I guess this would have to go with some sort of watermark, though. So... hm...

      1. NOM

        Relatedly, It'd be great if the artist's handle was automatically included in the image metadata, too, as a way to track provenance/ownership!

        It'd be great to have viewing be mobile friendly.

        Also, probably there's already a way to do this? But it'd be nice to have an idiot-proof one, I would LOVE a way to easily align/group images on a page. Sometimes individual posts work, but for users who are also on Tumblr, or make zines and the like, it'd be nice to easily layout photosets and multipage works.
