I need help with deviant art...?

I've been trying forever to upload my short story to deviant art. Every time I try it tells me two things are wrong.

1.Sorry, only text, HTML and PDF files are allowed in category. Please select a different file or category.

2.Sorry, we can not use this file for deviation submission. It requires a separate preview image.

I may sound stupid, but I'm new to deviant art. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Update:

No pics in my text.

Update 2:

Thanks, GRAH! That helped. I still don't understand why I need a preview image, though. UGH!

    To upload a short story file it under "Literature>Prose" Then either fantasy or fiction or whatever category you want. Then DO NOT "Add file..." But click "Add Text..." Copy and paste your text into the box and viola, post it.

    You need to save your work as and HTML or a PDF. So when your saving your work, next to the bar where you name it there is a little tab where you choose how you wish to save your file. Hit either HTML or PDF. Usually, if you use Microsoft word, this should already be the setting.

    I don't understand why they would tell you to have a separate preview image if it is a text document, unless you've accidentally tried to save it as an image. Text do not need preview images.

    Hope this helps. If not, you could always post on the forum.

    Good luck ;)

    There are distinctive categories of graffiti for my section, there is the kind the place something is at as quickly as written on a wall, it is regularly vandalizm, and there is the kind that an artist takes various time to create and reasons awe and stirs emotion interior the viewer. it is continuously vandalism in spite of if it is executed on sources that the owner has no longer given permission for the artist to color on, it is in definition however. If it provides to the city subculture of a city i think of it is considered paintings, yet on occasion graffiti via a professional can motivate vandalism graffiti which could make a city look... gruesome. yet no, graffiti does not could be gang affiliated, and many the graffiti it is paintings isn't gang affiliated.

  • Did you put pictures in your text? That might be the problem.
