How do I add a picture to a writing?

You can add pictures straight from your device while you write:

  1. Create a new writing or edit one of your writings
  2. Place your cursor where you want the picture to appear
  3. Select the camera icon ("Add a picture") in the editor toolbar
  4. Choose one or more pictures
  5. Check the box to certify that everyone in the picture consented to have it uploaded to FetLife, that everyone was 18 or older when it was taken, and that you have documentation to support this
  6. Select "Publish Writing" (or "Update Writing" if you're editing)

Pictures added this way are part of your writing only. They don't show up in your picture gallery.

Embedding a picture or video that's already on FetLife

You can also embed a picture or video that's already on FetLife by pasting its link on its own line. Press Enter before and after the link so nothing else is on that line, and it will show up as the picture or video in your writing.

For example, typing this into your writing:

This is what embedding a pic in your writing looks like:

https://fetlife.com/users/1/pictures/31723282

shows the picture below the first line.

The embed follows the privacy of the original. People who can't see the original picture or video won't see it in your writing.
