News: Feature your art galleries/stories/challenge runs on Daily!

Feature your art, stories, and challenge runs on Daily!​

We're opening up new types of pages on PokéCommunity Daily - art galleries, story repositories, and challenge runs. In short - if you have your own art gallery thread on PC, a completed challenge run/travel journal thread, or a completed fanfiction (or several!) or roleplay thread, then you can also have it hosted on a Daily article page. We'll even help you have it set up!

Art galleries

If you have a thread for your artwork in the Art Studio forum section, you can ask for an article to be be made to mirror it. (This does not replace your existing thread - think of it as an alternate way to showcase your work). You'll have a choice of gallery displays to use from (even multiple if you want). Here are some examples (still screenshots of it in action):

Spoiler:

Click on the last one - looks long...



But you can zoom into it easily so we have an option for those images such as longform comic pages or the like.

Or you can have a big slideshow that you can click between. It doesn't handle l o n g images too well but otherwise works well.

Spoiler:

And we have another layout which will resize multiple images and arrange them neatly, which we have used before - see https://daily.pokecommunity.com/202...prigatito-floragato-and-meowscarada-fanworks/ for a live article version. They are clickable in this url so you can see it in action! Still screenshot below:

Spoiler:

You can update the galleries separately if using the Modula galleries, or else by editing the article. Images will need to be rehosted on Daily to be used.

Stories

If you have a completed story or roleplay thread, you can request an article version of it as well. (We can make exceptions for in-progress stories, but we would rather focus on completed stories for now). Stories can be one-shots or chaptered fics, with the latter making use of multiple pages within one article.

Challenge runs

If you have a completed challenge run (either documented in the Challenges or Travel Journal forum section), you can request an article version of it as well. (We can make exceptions for in-progress challenges, but we would rather focus on completed game runs for now). They can be in different formats e.g. full blown screenshot runs are doable - but these will naturally take longer to put together.

How fancy can I get?

If you prefer things to be quickly made, that is straightforward to do. However, we can break out some fancier formatting, such as using pull quotes and images in stories, or even CSS to really highlight your art or story. For examples, check out pages from Rivvon's Black and White Analysis articles, or this article on the plot of the Kanto games. The catch is that these require more work to set up, and if you want something different to what we've created before, we'd appreciate some input from you on the CSS side!

What else?

• We (Daily staff members) will help. But you can also do it all yourself if you'd like, of course.
• For these pages, we intend for ads to be turned off (but do let us know if this has been overlooked) so that they look better.
• We are not looking to showcase ROM hacks at this time. Entirely original fangames however are possible.
• We'll only consider shelling out for e.g. premium Modula galleres if there's a large interest in those options and displays.
• If you have a very long submission (e.g. 10+ fic chapters), you can opt to either have it go live only when everything is ready, or after a first part is done, with the rest silently updated afterwards.
• Interested in helping us port such things to Daily or designing CSS for fancier articles? Consider applying for Daily staff or otherwise PM me!

How do I sign up?

Please post in this thread. You can also PM/DM myself on the forums and Discord. Please include a link to your content and any further details, and we'll go from there. We'll also set you up with a Daily account so you can make changes as needed.
