How to make a Cosplay Post
Cosplay covers cosplay photos and videos, makeup, and props.
Credit the cosplayer, and if someone else took the photo, credit the photographer too.
Click the + Create Post button, then select the Link button (for an external link) or Media button (for a direct upload) to start your submission.
Before you submit, select the Cosplay flair from the flair menu so your post lands in the right category.
Use: Image or Video button or Link button.
Title: <Character> cosplay - <Cosplayer>
Example: K/DA THE BADDEST Ahri cosplay - FoxyCosplays
If someone else took the photo, you can credit them in a comment as "Photo by <Photographer>".
For Cosplay posts that aren't of your own work, credit the source in a top-level comment.
Markdown Format: [<Source>](<Link>)
Example: [SocialSite](https://example.com/art/007)
Your own Original Content should use the OC tag and be credited to your own name rather than "by me".
Using the Rich Text Editor to insert a hyperlink
Our guidelines list link formats using Markdown syntax. For example, typing [Ahrism1](https://Ahrism1.com) in the Markdown Editor would display your text as Ahrism1.
If you use the default Rich Text Editor, you don't need type brackets or code—just use the toolbar.
Highlight Text: Type the text you want to turn into a link (e.g., "Source") and highlight it.
Link Button: Select the link button on the toolbar. If you don't see the text tools, check the Aa button to reveal the toolbar.
Paste & Save: Your highlighted text auto-fills under Text. Paste your URL into the Link box and click Save.
Multiple images can be uploaded at once. This allows each image to have its own caption and link. Please ensure you follow the post title format when creating gallery posts.
